单选题 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 combat experiences in Vietnam. But as Ellis's
reputation grew—his books on the founding fathers have won both the prestigious
National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize—the history professor began to
entertain local and national reporters with his memories of the war. Last year,
after The Boston Globe carried accounts of Ellis's experiences in the Vietnam
war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime (揭发). 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 a wretched Ellis. It turned out that while
the distinguished 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. He'd also
overstated his role in the anti-war movement and even his high-school athletic
records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who
wondered why someone so accomplished would beautify his past. But it seems that
success and truthfulness don't always go hand in hand. Even among the
distinguished achievers, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving—indulging
in everything from empty boasting to more serious offenses such as plagiarism
(剽窃), fictionalising military records, making up false academic certificates or
worse. "And, oddly, prominent people who beautify the past often do so once
they're famous", says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted
thousands of background checks. "It's not like they use these lies to climb the
ladder." 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 by a sense of their own shortcomings. "From outside, these people look
anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a New York psychoanalyst. "But
inside, they feel hollow, empty."
