Even before historian Joseph Ellis became a best-selling author, he was famous for his viv
id lectures. In his popular courses at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, he would often make classroom discussion lively by describing his own combat experience in Vietnam. But as Elliss reputation grew — his books on the Founding Fathers have won both the prestigious National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize — the history professor began to entertain local and national reporters with his memories of war. Last year, after The Boston Globe carried accounts of Elliss experience in the Vietnam war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime(揭发). Last week The Boston Globe revealed that Ellis, famous for explaining the nations history, had some explaining to do about his own past. "Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made," said a wretched Ellis. It turned out that while the distinguished historian had served in the Army, hed spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia, but teaching history at West Point. Hed also overstated his role in the anti-war movement and even his high-school athletic records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so accomplished would beautify his past. But it seems that success and truthfulness dont always go hand in hand. Even among the distinguished achievers, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving — indulging in everything from empty boasting to more serious offenses such as plagiarism(剽窃), fictionalising military records, making up false academic certificates or worse. "And, oddly, prominent people who beautify the past often do so once theyre famous", says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of background checks. Says Brod: "Its not like they use these lies to climb the ladder." Then what makes them do it? Psychologists say some people succeed, at least in part, because they are uniquely adjusted to the expectations of others. And no matter how well-known, those people can be haunted by a sense of their own shortcomings. "From outside, these people look anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a New York psychoanalyst. "But inside, they feel hollow, empty."

What is said about Ellis in the first paragraph?

A.He was more famous when he taught at Mount Holyoke College.

B.He has told both students and reporters about his own experience of war.

C.His book on the Vietnam War has won two important prizes.

D.He has written a best-seller for a newspaper — The Boston Globe.

第二篇

Kobe Bryant

After 10 seasons wearing the No 8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.

Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No 33 in his senior year.He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.

Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs(季后赛).So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists(专栏作家).

There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey(运动衫).Some,such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre,argue that it is"all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.

Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard(非常执著的)fan of the popular TV drama "24".

All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss(大惊小怪)over something that should be pretty simple.

Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball.Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.

To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets' No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.

Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45 in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.

36.Which team has Bryant played for?

A.The Los Angeles Lakers.

B.The Houston Rockets.

C.The Chicago Bulls.

D.The Miami Heats.

听力原文:M: Andrew Jackson, who was President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, was
one of the most colorful political figures in American history. He first won national attention during the War of 1812 when, as the commander of about 5.000 backwoods farmers and soldiers, he completely defeated a well-trained British army of 10,000 men at the famous Baffle of New Orleans.

There are many anecdotes about Jackson. Among them there is a humorous one:

After his wife died, Jackson lived alone and felt very lonely. He also began to worry greatly about his health. Several members of his family had died after suffering paralytic strokes, and Jackson was sure that he was going to die in the same way. He therefore lived in constant fear of having such a stroke.

One day at the home of some friends, he was playing chess with a young girl. Suddenly Jackson's hand dropped to his side and he seemed to become very weak. His face became pale. Several friends rushed to his side.

"At last it has come," said Jackson weakly. "I have had a stroke. My whole right side is paralyzed."

"How do you know?" someone asked.

"Because," Jackson answered, "in the past few minutes I have pinched my right leg several times, and there is absolutely no sensation in it."

"Oh! I beg your pardon, Sir," said the young woman with whom he had been playing. "But that was my leg you were pinching!"

Who was Andrew Jackson?

A.He was the commander of the American Army during the War of 1812.

B.He was President of the United States.

C.He was one of the most colorful political figures.

D.All of the above.

No man has been more harshly judged than Machiavelli, especially in the two centuries foll
owing his death. But he has since found many able champions and the tide has turned. The prince has been termed a manual for tyrants, the effect of which has been most harmful. But were Machiavelli's doctrines really new? Did he discover them? He merely had the frankness and courage to write down what everybody was thinking and what everybody knew. He merely gives us the impressions he had received from a long and intimate intercourse with princes and the affairs of state. It was Lord Bacon who said that Machiavelli tells us what princes do, not what they ought to do. When Machiavelli takes Cassar Borgia as a model, he does not praise him as a hero at all, but merely as a prince who was capable of attaining the end in view. The life of the state was the primary object. It must be maintained. And Machiavelli has laid down the principles, based upon his study and wide experience, by which this may be accomplished. He wrote from the view-point of the politician—not of the moralist. What is good politics may be bad morals, and in fact, by a strange fatality, where morals and politics clash, the latter generally gets the upper hand. And will anyone contend that the principles set forth by Machiavelli in his Prince or his Discourses have entirely per?ished from the earth? Has diplomacy been entirely stripped of fraud and duplicity? Let anyone read the famous eighteenth chapter of The Prince:" In what Manner Princes should Keep their Faith," and he will be convinced that what was true nearly four hundred years ago, is quite as true today.

Of the remaining works of Machiavelli the most important is the History of Florence written between 1521 and 1525, and dedicated to Clement VII.This book is merely a rapid review of the MiddleAges, and as part of it the history of Florence. Machiavelli's method has been criticized for adhering at times too closely to the chroniclers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without apparent reason, while in its details the authority of his History is often questionable. It is the straightforward, logical narrative, which always holds the interest of the reader, that is the greatest charm of the History.

It can be inferred from the beginning of the text that

A.many people used to think highly of Machiavelli.

B.Machiavelli had been very influential among the rulers.

C.Machiavelli was widely read among his contemporaries.

D.Machiavelli has been a target of criticism throughout history.

Cairo, the cradle of civilization, the Melting Pot of Ancient and Modern Egyptian Civiliza
tions. It is the largest city in the Middle East and lies at the center of all routes leading to and from the three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. It is the city where past and present meet. On its west side lies the Ancient Egyptian city of Memphis, and the site of the Pyramids, the only wonder surviving of the Seven Wonders of the World. Indeed, a journey through Cairo is a journey through time...

In spite of a thousand years of history, Cairo is young by Egyptian standards, because modern Cairo emerged only with the Arab conquest of Egypt.

The most famous of Cairo's sights is the string of 60 pyramids that stretches along the western border of the desert. Contrary to the common belief, only the Great Pyramid of Khufu, not all three Great Pyramids, is on the list of Wonders. The monument was built by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty around the year BC 2560 to serve as a tomb when he dies. When it was built, the Great pyramid was 145.75 m high. Over the years, it lost 10 m off its top. It ranked as the tallest structure on Earth for more than 43 centuries. Throughout their history, the pyramids have stimulated human imagination. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, his pride was expressed through his famous quote:" Soldiers! From the top of these Pyramids ,40 centuries are looking at us."

Cairo has been the most important arts center in the Islamic world for a thousand years. Cairo's long history and rich heritage are revealed in its many museums. The famous sights in this area are the Entomological Society Museum, with an excellent collection of Egyptian insects and birds. Also in the area is the museum housing the mysterious Sun Boat, only discovered in 1954 near the south side of the pyramid. The boat is believed to have been used to carry the body of Khufu in his last journey on earth before being buried inside the pyramid.

This is Cairo—radiant with a long and glorious past; adorned with the achievements of a distinguished present.

This is Cairo — a cradle of civilization, a wellspring of culture, and a meeting-place of the Asian, African, and European World.

This is Cairo-An international center for social economics, and political activity, which is making the noblest efforts aimed at peace among all nations and the benefits of all mankind.

Cairo is______.

A.the largest city in three continents

B.the financial center of the world

C.the' capital of Egypt

D.the youngest city in middle east
