A self-described socialist and former shop steward, Sir Alex was an odd fit with the centrist Mr. Blair. Yet he was much less impressed by Blair’s successor, Gordon Brown—though he was also born in Glasgow and is a lifelong football fan. Nor could Sir Alex quarrel with New Labour’s embrace of the market. English football has become the world’s best because it pays the most: the average weekly wage in the premiership rose by 1,500% between 1992 and 2010. Sir Alex was well rewarded, too; he named his mansion Fairfields, after the ship-making factory where his father once laboured.
Sir Alex’s success was based on his enthusiastic embrace of globalisation, something too many people in Labour are still uncomfortable with. He inherited a team that contained two Danes, four Irishmen and 18 Britons. He leaves a squad with players from a dozen countries, including Serbia, Ecuador and Japan. In public-policy terms, United runs both a superb domestic education system and a liberal immigration policy. This is a lesson Labour’s current leader, Ed Miliband, badly needs to learn—having expressed regret, in a vague but toe-curling (令人厌恶的) way, that his New Labour forebears let so many foreigners in.
Oddly, perhaps the politician Sir Alex most resembles was not of Labour at all; but rather its Tory female, Margaret Thatcher. He claimed to dislike her. Yet they are similar. Both won global successes through a combination of simple truths and constant drive. Both shared aspiration and opportunity. Both made Britain great.
Sir Alex would now do well to avoid Lady Thatcher’s biggest mistake: by lingering at the scene of his triumph. He plans to stay on at United as a director and perhaps instructor to his successor, David Moyes, another able manager and working-class Scot. But such arrangement rarely works. It would be better, after such a glorious career, if he conceded that Fergie time is now over.
Margaret Thatcher and Sir Alex share all these common points EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、similar personality
B、worldwide triumph
C、ambition and chance
D、continuous endeavor
答案
A
解析
题目问的是Thatcher和Alex的共同点,体现在第三段的“Yet they are similar”这一转折句之后。之后的连续三个both体现了两者的共同点,其中“global successes”=“worldwide triumph”:“constant drive”=“continuous endeavor”;“aspiration and opportunity”=“ambition and chance”。故选项A未提及,选项A为答案。
