From Ponzi to Madoff

The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!

第7题:

听力原文: Money means different things to different people. We have all heard or used expressions such as, "How much money do you want for this? How much money do you make?" and "They have a lot of money." It is obvious that money does not mean the same thing in each of these expressions. In the first expression, money refers to a price; in the second, to income; and in the third, to wealth. The confusion arises because money is the standard in terms of which we value all material goods and services. For most of us, both income and wealth are considerably greater than our holdings of money. Income is the net revenue we receive for the sale of our services or of the products of our services. Wealth is the accumulation of past savings of income. Most of us hold only a small part of our wealth in the form. of money.

24. Which is the best answer to the question "How much money do you want for this?"

25.What is used as the standard to value all material goods and services?

26.What may be greater than our holdings of money?

27.What is wealth?

(24)

A.Three items.

B.$10.8.

C.A blue one.

D.U.S. Dollars.


正确答案:B
解析:录音原文提到In the first expression, money refers to a price. 在货币的第一种表达法里,它指价格。第一种表达就是出现在"How much money do you want for this?"。

第9题:

根据下列内容,回答211-215题。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy.Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house,so they have to borrow money from a bank.Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”.The bank usually lends money or gives a me.gage for twenty—five years.Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50,000.In other words,they will have a$50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like.you go to a bank.The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk.They will want to know what kind of job you have,what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job.
They will a]so want to know how much money you have.In addition.the banks will require a down payment.Depending Oil which state you live in,the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment.The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
down payment.
What does a house mean in the United States.? __________

A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank

答案:C
解析:
从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知,房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性,与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化,并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。
