Yu Pengnian is an 88-year-old real estate Chinese businessman. He amassed (積聚) a fortune of$1. 3 billion during his career but in?stead of keeping the money and living like an emperor,he decided to give it all away. All of his fortune will be spent in helping poor Chi?nese students get a better education.
And Yu isn't the only superrich person in China who has this spirit of giving. Chen Guangbiao,a Jiangsu recycling tycoon,has given millions of dollars to charity (慈善) and promises to give all of his money to charity when he dies.
Yu and Chen are among the many businessmen who have become prosperous during China's economic rise. An American business magazine,Forbes,estimates that there are 117 billionaires in China and hundreds of thousands of millionaires. What sets Yu and Chen apart from the rest,though,is their tremendous generosity (慷慨,大方) when it comes to donating money to charity.
One day Bill Gates and Warren Buffett came to Beijing. Gates and Buffett,two of the world's richest men,are also the world's biggest philanthropists. They invi?ted fifty of China's richest people to have dinner with them and talk about the spirit of giving. At first,only a few people accepted their invitation. It seemed some of the invited guests were afraid that Buffett and Gates were going to pressure them into giving their wealth to charity.
A lot of people are angry at the billionaires who are not willing to give away their fortunes. They criticize them for not caring about the poor and the less fortu?nate. But I think this criticism is wrong. A gift,any gift,should come from the heart. Instead of criticism,these reluctant billionaires should be encouraged to fol?low the examples of Yu Pengnian and Chen Guangbiao. Encouragement is always a better strategy than criticism. As we say in English, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."

[文章大意]本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章報(bào)道了中國兩位著名的慈善家余彭年和陳光標(biāo)為慈善事業(yè)而慷慨捐助的事跡。文章最后提出.對比較吝嗇的富豪們應(yīng) 鼓勵(lì)奉獻(xiàn).而不是譴責(zé)。
1. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句"All of his fortune will be spent in helping poor Chinese students get a better education."可知,余彭年所有的財(cái)富都會(huì)用于幫助中國貧困的學(xué)生獲得更好的教育。故選A.
