托福阅读材料之A lasting Legacy

2015-01-14 17:19:23来源：网络

　　2015年托福考试已经来临，对于每一位参加托福考试的同学来说都是新的开始，那么我们对于托福听说读写都需要采取怎样的复习方法?这四项又需要注意些什么呢?我们分别谈一下。下面是新东方在线托福小编整理的托福阅读材料之A lasting Legacy，供同学们参考!

　　A lasting Legacy?

　　Senator Timothy Rogerson was obsessed with the keen desire of leaving behind a lasting legacy in the United States legislature. He was the sponsor of more legislation than any other senator in the entire history of the United States of America. Exerting almost limitless effort to ensure the Senate would legislate on this or that pet project of his, his zeal was legendary. No wonder, people used to joke about him, like:” Old Tim wants to become a legend in his own lifetime.” Indeed, Senator Rogerson knew little about leisure, his only leisure activity being to grow tiny crops of various types of legumes on the ledge of his office window (a weird pastime, if ever there was one). Thus it went for more than a quarter of a century. Then one day a bombshell dropped. In his zeal to lengthen his tenure as a senator, Old Tim had used any means, fair or foul. He had, for example, at one time written lengthy testimony against his strongest potential opponent, accusing him of having an amorous liaison with a pretty young intern. Regrettably, for Senator Richardson, many of these statements turned out to be nothing but libel. Sure enough, the time came when enough was enough, and a sufficient number of his political enemies in his own party were shaken out of their lethargy and began to speak out. “He’s been fooling the electorate for a long time now, and he’s nothing but a liability for our party. Let’s start impeachment proceedings, because the leopard won’t change his spots!” This was too much for Old Tim. He grew lethargic. His speech became slurred. His handwriting was no longer legible. In the end,all that criticism proved lethal, and he took an overdose.

　　一份永久的遗产?

　　蒂莫西罗杰森参议员要给美国的立法机关留下一份永久的遗产，他被这个热切的愿望所困扰。他是美利坚合众国有史以来的参议员中提出立法议案最多的人。为了保证参议院给他重视的项目立法，他几乎付出了无限的努力，他的热情是传奇性的。难怪人们经常这样开他的玩笑:“老蒂姆想成为他那个时代的传奇人物。”
