“I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued：

“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

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 selfmade，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 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 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(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.”

5．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

6．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

7．The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.

A．responsible children

B．Bill Gates and his wife

C．first－generation rich

D．rich parents

8．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

After years of study，I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world，the early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late-airport people would be punished.But the early-airport people get ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their finger-nails to the bone (急得团团转)．The late-airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said，“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight，it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early-airport people suffer another“name”．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an early-airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late-airport people：

They always marry each other.

13．We can learn from the passage that________.

A．late-airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

B．early-airport persons are always relaxed during the flight

C．early-airport persons get their luggage first after landing

D．late-airport persons always take things easy

14．It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

A．an early-airport woman B．a late-airport woman

C．a hot-tempered woman D．a fascinating woman

15．The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.

A．serious　　　　　　　 B．simple

C．humorous D．indifferent

Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.

“Shoppers need to check the labels (标签) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson
