Hemingway in his early works depicted the lives of two types of people. One type consisted of men and women deprived, by World War I, of faith in the moral values in which they had believed. The other type was men of simple character such as prizefighters and bullfighters. His earliest works include the collections of short stories Three 'Stories and Ten poems. The novel that established Hemingway's reputation, The Sun Also Rises, is the story of a group of morally irresponsible Americans and Britons living in France and Spain, members of the so-called lost generation of the post-World War I period. Hemingway's second important novel, A Farewell to Arms, is a story of a deeply moving love affair in wartime Italy between an American officer and a British nurse. The OM Man and Sea is his greatest novel that earned him the Nobel Prize for literature. The novel tells how man is faced with nature, and how man straggle against nature. Death in the Afternoon and Green Hills of Africa are Hemingway's two nonfiction works.

Hemingway's economical writing style. often seems simple and almost childlike, but his method is used to show complex effect. In his writing, Hemingway used simple nouns and verbs

to describe scenes wonderfully. By doing so he avoided describing his characters' feelings and thoughts directly. Instead, in providing the reader with the raw materials of an experience, Hemingway made the reading of a story as close to the actual experience as possible. Hemingway was also deeply concerned with authenticity (真实性) in writing. He believed that a writer could treat a subject honestly only if the writer had observed the subject closely. In addition, Hemingway believed that an author writing about a familiar subject is able to write economically. Hemingway's stylistic influence on American writers has been enormous. The success of his plain style. in expressing basic, yet deeply felt, emotions contributed to the decline of the elaborate (浮夸的) Victorian-era style. that is typical of American writing in the early 20th century. Many American writers have regarded Hemingway as an influence on their own work.

The novel that brought Hemingway greatest fame is______ .

A．The Sun Also Rises

B．The Old Man and Sea

C．Death in the Afternoon

D．Green Hills of Africa

"WHAT'S the difference between God and Larry Ellison?" asks an old software industry joke. Answer: God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison. The boss of Oracle is hardly alone among corporate chiefs in having a reputation for being rather keen on himself. Indeed, until the bubble burst and the public turned nasty at the start of the decade, the cult of the celebrity chief executive seemed to demand bossy narcissism, as evidence that a firm was being led by an all-conquering hero.

Narcissus met a nasty end, of course. And in recent years, boss-worship has come to be seen as bad for business. In his management bestseller, "Good to Great", Jim Collins argued that the truly successful bosses were not the serf-proclaimed stars who adorn the covers of Forbes and Fortune, but instead self-effacing, thoughtful, monkish sorts who lead by inspiring example.

A statistical answer may be at hand. For the first time, a new study, "It's All About Me", to be presented next week at the annual gathering of the American Academy of Management, offers a systematic, empirical analysis of what effect narcissistic bosses have on the firms they run. The authors, Arijit Chatterjee and Donald Hambrick, of Pennsylvania State University, examined narcissism in the upper levels of 105 firms in the computer and software industries.

To do this, they bad to solve a practical problem: studies of narcissism have hitherto relied on surveying individuals personally, something for which few chief executives are likely to have time or inclination. So the authors devised an index of narcissism using six publicly available indicators obtainable without the co-operation of the boss. These are: the prominence of the boss's photo in the annual report; his prominence in company press releases; the length of his "Who's Who" entry; the frequency of his use of the first person singular in interviews; and the ratios of his cash and non-cash compensation to those of the firm's second-highest paid executive.

Narcissism naturally drives people to seek positions of power and influence, and because great self-esteem helps your professional advance, say the authors, chief executives will tend on average to be more narcissistic than the general population. How does that affect a firm? Messrs Chatterjee and Hambrick found that highly narcissistic bosses tended to make bigger changes in the use of important resources, such as research and development, or in spending and leverage; they carried out more and bigger mergers and acquisitions; and their results were both more extreme (more big wins or big losses) and more transient than those of firms run by their humbler peers. For shareholders, that could be good or bad.

Although (oddly) the authors are keeping their narcissism ranking secret, they have revealed that Mr. Ellison did not come top. Alas for him, that may be because the study limited itself to people who became the boss after 1991—well after he took the helm. In every respect Mr. Ellison seems to be the classic narcissistic boss, claims Mr. Chatterjee. There is life in the old joke yet.

The old software industry joke is used in the text to

A．show the difference between God and Larry Ellison.

B．emphasize the success of the boss of Oracle.

C．illustrate how chief executives manage their companies.

D．introduce the topic of narcissism on top managerial level.
