13、 ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition health, distinction, control over ones destiny - must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambitions behalf.”，可知如果要正确看待雄心壮志，那么它所带来的健康、名望和对自己命运所带来的回报，就必须被认为是值得曾经的付出的。可判断出抱负只有在回报很好地补偿了付出的时候，才得以正确看待。选项A符合题意。2.推断题。根据文章第一段，“There is heavy no
14、te of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the bam door after the horses have escaped - with the educated themselves riding on them.”，可知作者打了个比方，这种做法带有浓重的虚伪色彩，就像在马儿逃跑后关上门，而受过良好教育的人却偷偷将马骑出去。用来比喻在实现抱负之后却否认隐藏自己的雄心壮志。选项C符合题意。3.细节理解题。根据文章第二段，“What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their
