But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their ch
20、ildren to live on themselves and 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 al
21、ready gives away about 25% of her 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 w
22、ill not be leaving all my wealth 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 $ 24bn or so from h
23、is friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket her father lent her $ 20, then promptly made her write him a check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy
24、should be just as wealthy,“ he has 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 Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from t
25、he company would go into the Body 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
26、 to give their wealth to charity （ B） they want their business to go on healthily （ C） they believe too much wealth will harm their children （ D） they hope their children can make more money themselves 22 What do we learn about Nicola Horlick? （ A） She has already given away about 25% of her wealth.
27、 （ B） She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth. （ C） She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids. （ D） She inherited most of her wealth from her parents. 23 Buffett distinguishes himself for_. （ A） his clear-cut position （ B） being strict with his children （ C） his

29、attitude of the writer toward that billionaires dont pass their wealth to their children is_. （ A） negative （ B） positive （ C） objective （ D） casual 25 Much has been written about poverty but none of the accounts seem to get at the root of the problem. It must be noted that the debilitating effects
30、of poverty are not only the result 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 sc
31、ientists have reported on the psychological 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
32、 power relationships. This appears 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
33、 purchasable with a given supply of 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 an
34、d social problems in the United States, 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 s
35、urrounding community. Social action 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 effe
36、ct or skill; the action should be successful and the successful self-originated important action should increase the feeling of potential worth 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 temp
37、orary basis and should consist of organizers 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 concur
38、rent control from outside. 26 By “powerless“(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
39、too weak to resist any social situation 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 cha
40、nging present power relationships （ 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 th
41、e characteristics include_. （ A） the 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
42、 community in helping the neighborhoods of poverty is _. （ A） to provide long-term assistance from outside （ B） to offer necessary opportunities of securing more money （ C） to carry out more social programs in the neighborhoods （ D） to lend experienced advice in the formation of democratic self-help
43、 organizations 30 What does the word “concurrent“(Para. 3)most probably mean? （ A） Following. （ B） Subsequent. （ C） Previous. （ D） Simultaneous. 31 The main purpose of the author in writing the passage is_. （ A） to criticize the present methods employed to help the poor （ B） to analyze the social an
44、d psychological aspects of poverty （ 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 ca
45、sually glance through your credit 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
46、 boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever 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. Bu
47、t few boundaries remain. The digital 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
48、keep a secret. The key question 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 fee
49、l their privacy is “slipping away, 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 down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will s
