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 themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have give 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 case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped — with the educated themselves riding on them.
67. It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if ________.
[A] its returns well compensate for the sacrifices
[B] it is rewarded with money, fame and power
[C] its goals are spiritual rather than material
[D] it is shared by the rich and the famous
昨天题目的解析：
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. Of course advertising seeks to persuade.
参考译文：最近我听到一位著名电视人宣称他反对广告，因为广告意在劝诱而非提供信息。他把两者区分得过于细微。广告当然会不可避免地要劝说消费者。
If its message were confined merely to information — and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is subtly persuasive — advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants.
参考译文：如果广告的内容仅仅限于提供信息（虽说这不是不可能做到的，但它本身也是很难做的，因为哪怕是挑衬衫颜色这样的细节也带有几分劝诱性），那会令人生厌，以致没人再去理会。但也许这就是那位著名电视人所希望看到的。
53. The author deems that the well-known TV personality is ________.
作者认为有名的电视人_______.
[A] very precise in passing his judgement on advertising
很精确的传递了对于广告的判断
[B] interested in nothing but the buyers' attention
只对购买者的注意力感兴趣
[C] correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
正确的区分了说服与信息
[D] obviously partial in his views on advertising
对于广告的观点是片面的
题型识别：细节题
题干定位：题干是在问作者对于这个著名电视人的判断。
定位到第三句或者第四句；
电视人的观点：He was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.
作者的评价：He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. （persuades and informs）
作者的评价：Of course advertising seeks to persuade.
说明作者是反对这个电视人的观点的；
同义替换：A和C两个选项是正面的判断，B是中性的判断；D是负面的判断；
所以第四个选项是正确选项！
ABC三个选项都属于是视觉干扰，用一些文中出现的单词拼凑出一些选项
这些都不是作者对于这个广告人的判断。
