More than half of ultra-rich Americans have not revealed their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed on Tuesday.

Taking the pulse nationwide of the rich with $3 million or more in assets a survey by US Trust released by Bank of America found that "surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to either their children or charity."

Many of the 457 people surveyed are Baby Boomers and are self-made, first-generation rich and have "a distinct generational mindset." Fifty-two percent of parents surveyed have not fully disclosed their wealth to their children, and 15 percent have disclosed nothing about the family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it, while 24 percent said they feared their children would become lazy. Twenty percent said they would make poor decisions or squander money, and 13 percent worried other people would take advantage of their children. Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children will be able to handle any inheritance they plan to leave them.

"There is an expectation about the wealthy that they have an implicit, sacred responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation, and this understanding has shaped expectations about the coming wave of intergenerational wealth transfer," said Sallie Krawcheck, president of Bank of America Global Wealth and Investment Management.

"Our research, however, uncovered a distinct generational mindset that reflects changing views about what retirement means and an evolving sense of what one generation owes the next."

【题目】The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid --- we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.

However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard(蜥蜴)native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, well need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate hitting.”

But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a non-Newtonian liquid that doesnt behave like normal water. Now if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子)in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.

Fun though all this may sound, its still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink --- and take a shower afterward!

A. It is light enough to walk on water.

B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.

2What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?

A. To create a thick liquid.

B. To turn the water into solid.

C. To help the liquid behave normally.

D. To enable the water to move rapidly.

3What is the authors attitude toward the idea of humans walking on water?

A. It is risky but beneficial.

B. It is interesting and worth trying

C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality

D. It is impractical though theoretically possible
