With two children at top London schools and a house in the West End, he and his wife Jackie, a top divorce lawyer, led an often hectic social life involving a great deal of entertaining of clients and trips to the opera and theatre. But the couple did not live beyond their means and from the outside one would have said that they were extremely fortunate.Surprisingly, perhaps, the background of both Lewis and Jackie was anything but privileged, both having been brought up on rough inner-city council estates where most children could expect to end up unemployed. But despite attending a deadend school, Lewis was lucky enough to encounter a maths teacher who, recognizing his ability, gave him extra help, enabling him to get a scholarship to Oxford, which set him on the road to success.However, even while making a mint at the bank Lewis felt unable to forget his background and his less fortunate childhood friends, who, most unusually for someone in his position, he still saw from time to time. Today he describes how at the age of 41 he felt so haunted by life’s unfairness that he felt he could no longer justif y what he described as his “absurdly inflated pay cheque”. Backed by Jackie, his wife, Lewis applied for a post working as the financial manager for a well-known charity that helped disadvantaged children. After a series of lengthy interviews, to hisastonishment, Lewis was offered the job and today he can be found behind a desk in an office, that, while not dilapidated, is nothing like the impressive surroundings he was used to working in.“I’m paid a fraction of what I used to get, but it’s the best move I’ve ever made in my life,” Lewis tells anyone willing to listen. “Whereas at the bank I always had the uneasy feeling my money was completely undeserved, here I’m certain I’m doing something worthwhile - I know where every penny the charity brings in goe s. That’s my job. We get reports on the families we help and the work we do makes a real difference in children’s lives. I feel comfortable with who I am. It’s a huge relief.”Asked what his regrets are for the life he left behind, Lewis admits to missing the excitement that working in an investment bank generates. “There was a definite buzz around. But that’s it. Nothing else.” Lewis Winfield, a man at ease with his conscience.Now choose the best answer to the questions.11.1) 【单选题】(3分)1.

But the environment must also have a profound effect, since ifcompetition is improtant to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its verynature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences:remember that Pheidippides ,the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying:"Rejoice, we conquer!".By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations . It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well.The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into 'B's.
