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!

Why didn't Madoff have to go on trial?
A:The officials couldn'tfind any evidence against him.
B:He had friends in the government who helped him.
C:He admitted he was guilty.
D:He returned all the illegal money.

Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you"ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that （）.
