    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!

    What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?
    A:He spent it all on things for himself.
    B:He used some of it to pay other people.
    C:He deposited it all in a bank.
    D:He kept it all to save for a good plan.

    答案:B
    解析:
    从文章第一段倒数第三句话“Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every$100 you gave him to hold.”可知答案为C。
    从文章第二段第二句话“He used some of that money to pay other people”可知答案为B。

    Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, "You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn't know about".

    So he became a thief--but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.

    One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.

    It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.

    When he went back to Jim, he said, "That family can't have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there."

    While traveling abroad(在国外), Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. "Send the money by telegram," he wrote, "to the Fisher Bank in P…" After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport(护照). "Nothing has come for you," he was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.

    In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The Clerk(职员)he spoke to was a new man. "Have you received $500 for me?" he asked, "My name is Jackson Frank." The clerk checked his books. "Yes, Mr. Jackson, it's here. It came by telegram - let me see - oh, more than two months ago.

    "We wondered where you were." He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order(汇单)read: "Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500 …"

    "But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson."

    "Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter 'J', but it's your money."

    The clerk laughed. "A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, aren't we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me."

    As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and?dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a?credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what?they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.
    Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a?way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces?of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant?dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have?credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental?company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return?the car and pay for using it.
    Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to?carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate?pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With?credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of?what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.

    What advantage can credit card holders have?

    A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases.
    B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.

    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

    Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is

    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!

    What was Ponzi's crime?
    A:He robbed the banks of millions of dollars.
    B:He gave people more than the bank did.
