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 welldeveloped plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”the majority of the 457 people surveyed are selfmade，firstgeneration rich.fiftytwo 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 three 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 their children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产)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 global wealth and investment management of the bank of america.“our research，however，uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”the trend is led by the worlds 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(基金会)，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.”【语篇解读】 调查表明，大部分美国富人不愿向孩子炫富，甚至不打算将丰厚的资产传给后代。9we can learn from the passage that _.arich parents may not know how to manage their inheritancebrich parents

parents解析推理判断题。第二段的后半部分提到在被调查的美国富人中，几乎没有人计划为他们的孩子保留资产或者将资产传给孩子，由此可推断在美国，父母富有并不意味着孩子富有。答案b10according to the survey，most rich americans _.athink they owe their children nothingbthink it best to give

house in a park. the house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. the life there was inconvenient. what surprised me most was how much i missed being part of a community (社区). we had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and id never thought how much id miss that. although our situation was very hard, its difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at whats happening elsewhere. i watched a news report about floods in northern india and thought, “we didnt have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. were lucky.”we moved back home in august. with december coming, theres still reconstruction work to be done, so its difficult to prepare for christmas. but i cant waitim going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. this year, i wont need any giftsliving away from home for months has

me? do i sound stupid? am i wearing unattractive clothes? it is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. a persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. in general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives. shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. they need faith that they are doing“the right thing”. shy people are very sensitive to criticism. it makes them feel inferior (自卑). they also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. a shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: “youre just saying that to make me
