But an increasing number of
20、billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children 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. Sh
21、e now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already 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
22、wealth to children,“ Horlick told the reports authors. “I will 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 w
23、as supplemented, in 2009, by another $24bn or so from his 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
24、 check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy 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 no
25、t inherit one penny. The money that she made from the 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 w
26、ealth to their children because_.(A)they prefer 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 themselves22 What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?(A)She has already
27、 given away about 25% of her wealth.(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 wit

29、5 The attitude of the writer toward that billionaires dont pass their wealth to their children is_.(A)negative(B) positive(C) objective(D)casual25 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 of po
30、verty 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 scienti
31、sts 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 powe
32、r 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 purc
33、hasable 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 and soci
34、al 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 surroun
35、ding 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 effect or
36、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 temporary b
37、asis 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 concurrent co
38、ntrol 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 too weak to resist
39、 any social situation imposed on them27 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 rela
40、tionships(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 power28 Social action to help the poor should have the characteristics include_.(A)
41、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 above29 According to the author, the primary role of the major community in helping the neighborhoods o
42、f 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 organizations30 What does the word “concurrent“(Par
43、a. 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 and psychological aspects of poverty(C) to propose a way in which the p
44、oor can be more effectively helped(D)to describe the attitude of the community towards the poor31 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 card purchases or cell phone bills to fin
45、d 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. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you ne
46、ver 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 digital bread crumbs(碎屑)you leaye everywhere mak
47、e 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 is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the a
48、nswer 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 away, and that bothers me“ .But people say one thi
49、ng 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 surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a
