But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves and
19、not to turn into spoiled successors. Nicola Horlick or “ supermom“ , a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a report 250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her
20、 income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “ I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,“ Horlick told the reports authors. “I will not be leaving all my wealth
21、to my children because that would just ruin their lives. “ She is by no means the first to go public with this convition. Bill Gates has put an estimated $ 30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009, by another $ 24 bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett. Buffet
22、t has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands.

23、as said, “ is like saying the members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team. Antia Roddick, the late founder of the B。 dy Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body
24、 Shop Foundation, which isnt one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away. 21 The billionaires mentioned in the passage dont want to leave much of their wealth to their children because_. （ A） they prefer to give their wealth to charity

It must be noted that the debilitating effects of poverty are not only the result
29、of lack of money but are also the result of powerlessness. The poor are subject to their social situation instead of being able to affect it through action, that is, through behavior that flows from an individuals decisions and plans. In other words, when social scientists have reported on the psych
30、ological consequences of poverty, it seems reasonable to believe that they have described the psychological consequences of powerlessness. The solution to poverty most frequently suggested is to help the poor secure more money without otherwise changing the present power relationships. This appears
31、to implement the idea of equality while avoiding any unnecessary threat to the established centers of power. But since the consequences of poverty are related to powerlessness, not to the absolute supply of money available to the poor, and since the amount of power purchasable with a given supply of
32、 money decreases as a society acquires a large supply of goods and services, the solution of raising the incomes of the poor is likely, unless accompanied by other measures, to be ineffective in a wealthy society. In order to reduce poverty related psychological and social problems in the United Sta
33、tes, the major community will have to change its relationship to neighborhoods of poverty in such fashion that families in the neighborhoods have a greater interest in the broader society and can more successfully participate in the decision-making process of the surrounding community. Social action
34、 to help the poor should have the following characteristics: the poor should see themselves as the source of the action; the action should effect in major ways the preconceptions of institutions and persons who define the poor; the action should demand much in effect or skill; the action should be s
35、uccessful and the successful self-originated important action should increase the feeling of potentialworth and individual power of individuals who are poor. The only initial resource which a community should provide to neighborhoods of poverty should be on a temporary basis and should consist of or
36、ganizers who will enable the neighborhoods quickly to create powerful, independent, democratic organizations of the poor. Through such organizations, the poor will then negotiate with the outsiders for resources and opportunities without having to submit to concurrent control from outside. 26 By “po
37、werless“ (sentence 2, Para 1) , the author most probably means that the poor_. （ A） have no right to make individual decisions and plans （ B） can not exercise control over other groups of people （ C） are not in a condition to change their present situation （ D） are too weak to resist any social situ
38、ation imposed on them 27 The author expresses his opinion in the first paragraph that_. （ A） the hopeless condition of the poor is caused by their powerlessness rather than lack of money （ B） great efforts should be made to help poor to secure more money without changing present power relationships
39、（ C） it is no use raising the incomes of the poor while not improve their state of powerlessness （ D） in helping the poor attention should be paid to avoiding any unnecessary threat to the established centers of power 28 Social action to help the poor should have the characteristics include_. （ A） t
40、he poor should see themselves as the source of the action （ B） the action should effect in major ways preconceptions of institutions （ C） the action should demand much in effect or skill （ D） all of the above 29 According to the author, the primary role of the major community in helping the neighbor

43、y （ C） to propose a way in which the poor can be more effectively helped （ D） to describe the attitude of the community towards the poor 31 Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites youve visited, or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit
44、 card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. In fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoev
45、er it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digi
46、tal bread crumbs (碎屑 ) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question
47、 is:Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no“. When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping awa
48、y, and that bothers me“. But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站 ) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn do
49、wn supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券 ) . But privacy does matter at least sometimes. Its like health: When you have it you dont notice it.Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.
