More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.

The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets£®It found that ¡°surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children¡±.

The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich£®Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth£®One in their parents said they had never thought to do it.

They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.

Only 34 percent strongly agreed that t heir children would be able to handle any inheritance(ÒŲú) they plan to leave them.

¡°There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,¡± said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Globai Wealth and Investment Management£®¡°Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.¡±

The trend is led by the world¡¯s richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(»ù½ð»á), and not to his children.

¡°We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,¡± he said.

Of his plans for his children, Gates said: ¡°I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage¡­ they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.¡±

1.We can learn from the passage that .

A£®rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance

B£®rich parents don¡¯t equal rich kids, at least in the US

C£®American children don¡¯t get to inherit their parents¡¯ wealth

D£®poor children don¡¯t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents

2.According to the survey, most rich Americans .

A£®think they owe their children nothing

B£®think it best to give their money back to society

C£®doubt their children¡¯s ability to handle wealth

D£®are confident of their children¡¯s ability to handle wealth

3.From the last paragraph, we can see that Bill Gates wants to show .

A£®the trend of leaving no inheritance to children

B£®the positive impact of charity on society

C£®the way of giving back to society

D£®the importance of independence for children

I¡¯ve been living in China for a while ¡ª long enough to observe the long-term deterioration (ÍË»¯)of my own native language abilities, as well as those of my fellow English speakers. This deterioration can take different forms, one of which is the non-standard usage of the words. Its source is, specifically, Chinese culture, and its target is native English speakers. Below I give some of the common ways that the Chinese environment strikes down the native speaker¡¯s linguistic competence (ÓïÑÔÄÜÁ¦) .

Net bar: In Chinese, they¡¯re called ¡°Íø°É¡±, This is fine. We generally call them ¡°Internet caf¨¦¡± in English. The Chinese seem to think that ¡°Íø°É¡± should be translated as ¡°net bar¡± in English, and many careless foreigners have even been misled by this idea.

Name card: In the English-speaking world, business people have lots of business meetings to discuss business. On these occasions, business people exchange specially printed pieces of paper known as business cards. In China everyone calls them ¡°name cards¡±, because in Chinese they are called ¡°ÃûƬ¡± and ¡°name card¡± is a more direct translation .

Bean curd. It¡¯s called ¡°tofu,¡± OK! This English word comes from Chinese. I know all dictionaries sold in China will tell you ¡°¶¹¸¯¡± is ¡°bean curd¡± in English and that may represent the two characters nicely, but ¡°bean curd¡± is more a definition than a comfortable translation. And yet some foreigners start saying ¡°bean curd¡± rather than tofu. Deplorable (¿É±¯µÄ)£¡

I think you see the pattern. The normal native way of saying something is replaced by a more unnatural way of saying it using other English words.

If you¡¯ve been living in China for a while and find yourself using all of these, you might be on dangerous ground. You¡¯re going to start making a fool of yourself back home. Look out! Resist Chinglish attempts at destroying your own command of your mother tongue!

1.Which of the following expressions is more native?

A£®Bean curd B£®Tofu C£®Name card D£®Net bar

2.How does the writer support his main idea?

A£®By comparison B£®By examples

C£®By reasoning D£®By refutation (·´²µ)

3.What is the main cause of the non-standard usage of the words by native English speakers?

A£®Chinese culture

B£®Chinese tradition

C£®English flexibility(Áé»îÐÔ)

D£®Chinese polluted environment

4.The mentioned Chinglish words are created in the way ________.

A£®that is generally accepted by native English speakers

B£®that is often misunderstood by native English speakers

C£®that sounds reasonable to native English speakers

D£®that sounds natural to some Chinese

Modern inventions have speeded up people¡¯s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (´µÐê) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.

However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

There was a time when some people¡¯s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

1.The new products become more and more time-saving because .

A. our love of speed seems never-ending

B. time is limited.

C. the prices are increasingly high.

D. the manufactures boast a lot.

2.What does ¡°the days¡± in Paragraph 3 refer to ?

A. Imaginary life

B. Simple life in the past.

C. Times of inventions

D. Time for constant activity.

3.What is the author¡¯s attitude towards the modern technology?

A.Critical B.Objective.

C.Optimistic. D. Negative.

4.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The present and past times.

B. Machinery and human beings.

C. Imaginations and inventions.

D. Modern technology and its influence.

To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age. To do so at 22, as Jennifer Lawrence has, is just amazing. Recently, the American star won Best Actress at Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazine¡¯s Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who ¡°lends a mature intelligence to any ro1e¡±.

In fact, I wanted to be an actress.¡± Having appreciated this young lady¡¯s performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.

Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest box office female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her ¡°the most talented young actress in America¡±.
