Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition--wealth, distinction, control over one''s destiny--must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition''s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themlves admired, the educated not least
among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition--if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a ca of closing the barn door after the hors have escaped--with the educated themlves riding on them.
Certainly people do not em less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs--the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not em less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could ,lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever em in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phas of life, who own children are enrolled in private schools. For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, t
he proper formulation is," Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious."
