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 Malinda 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。

　　25．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
