　　Tradition says that at the beginning of the sixth century one of the tribes(部落)in Ireland was called Celt. The chief(酋长)of Celt had a beautiful daughter, named Ellis, who was from childhood, fond of having honey. When she grew up, lots of knights(骑士)and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southern tribe who was among the proposers. They were soon in love with each other. At last they decided to get married. On the wedding day Ellis entertained (款待) the honoured guests with honey wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young master. After drinking the wine the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as sweet as love. But there was too much wine for them to drink up. The bride(新娘)and bridegroom (新郎)continued drinking it next day. They were intoxicated(沉醉)with the sweet honey wine. It took the young couple a whole month to drink it up.

　　From then on it was very popular among the local people to drink honey wine within the first month after the man and woman’s marriage. They thought that it stood for the sweetness and happiness of a newly-married couple. Later on it spread far and wide. People named the first month after marriage honeymoon(密月).

　　Even before historian Joseph Ellis became a best-selling author, he was famous for his vivid lectures．In his popular courses at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, he would often make classroom discussion lively by describing his own fighting experience in Vietnam．But as Ellis's reputation grew--his books on the Founding Fathers won both the 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 reported Ellis's experience in the Vietnam war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime．Last week The Boston Globe revealed that Ellis, famous for explaining the nation's history, had some explaining to do about his own past．

　　“Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made," said Ellis．It turned out that while the historian had served in the Army, he'd spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia, but teaching history at West Point(西点军校)．He'd also overstated his role in the antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic records．His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so successful would beautify his past．But it seems that success and truthfulness don’t always go hand in hand．Even among the successful achievers, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving．And, oddly, people often beautify their past once they're famous, says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of background checks．

　　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(长期不断的缠绕)by a sense of their own shortcomings．"From outside, these people look anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a psychoanalyst．"But inside, they feel hollow, empty,”

     We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea
is old. Young people and their parents don't understand each other. The world has always kept
changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, "Bury me on my face because
in a little while everything will be turned upside down."
    There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old
Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.
    "When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But
when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn't have enough
to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to
meetings and talked a lot, but it didn't seem to make much difference. "
    "Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn't know when the fighting would stop. They
wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn't want to think about the future.
They thought nothing could be done about it."
   "Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world
better. They are trying to help other people. They're making people listen to them. I am proud
of their generation."

1. The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so that when everything
is turned upside down he will _____.

2. Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?

A. Mr. Ellis' generation
B. His children's generation
C. His grandchildren's generation
D. None of the above.

3. Which generation is/was more efficient in making the world better one?

A. Mr. Ellis' generation.
