Now, in 1889, Carnegie published a book—The Gospel of Wealth—and he discussed his ideas about the responsibility of the rich. Carnegie believed that people should only use the money they need to support themselves and their family, and then, beyond that, they… they should give the rest away to help the community. He said, "The man who dies rich dies disgraced." So, in other words, he thought that it was shameful for wealthy people to keep all their money for themselves, that instead they should use their money to help others. In fact, he even disapproved of wealthy people leaving money to charity after they died, instead of giving it away while they were alive. He thought that these people didn't really want to give their money away, that they only made these donations because they couldn’t take the money with them after death! So he had some very strong views about this.
And he followed through on his beliefs! Because by the time he died in 1911, he had given away ninety percent of his fortune—about $ 350 million dollars—that's more than $ 3 million—I'm sorry, I mean $ 3 billion in today's dollars!
As for the motivations for Carnegie's philanthropy… Well, some say it was based on his life experience. For example, take one of his most famous causes: public libraries. During his lifetime he built more than twenty-five hundred public libraries around the world, sixteen hundred of them in the United States. And it goes back to when he was a boy, only 13, and he had to go to work to help support his family. So he couldn't go to school. He loved to read, but there was no public libraries open for anyone to use. However, a rich man lived nearby, and he had a library, and he let Carnegie borrow his books for free! So, that's how Carnegie educated himself, by reading these books. And he never forgot that. He believed that anyone—no matter their background—anyone, with the right inclination and desire, could educate him or herself, and he saw public libraries as an important resource for this.
Now another cause that was very important to Carnegie was that of world peace and the end of war. In 1907, he wrote, "I am drawn more to this cause than to any." He believed that war could be eliminated… it could be ended by building stronger international laws and organizations. So, to that end, he established the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace in Washington DC, with a gift of $10 million dollars. But he had another more controversial idea for promoting world peace--and that was to simplify English spelling. He believed by making English spelling more sensible and regular, it could become a "lingua franca", a common language spoken around the world. And this, in turn, would help international communication. So, he established the Simplified Spelling Board, which he funded with $ 25, 000 per year. Realistically, I don't see why he believed that people would ever change something as… as… central to the language as spelling--most people completely opposed it! So his ideas never caught on, and twelve years later, after spending $ 300,000, he gave up and st
A．The influence of Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy today.
B．The reasons for Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy.
C．The relationship between Andrew Carnegie and other philanthropists.
D．The story of Andrew Carnegie's life.

听力原文： In recent years, there have been an unusually large number of divorces in the United States. In the past, when two people manned each other, they intended to stay together for life, while today many people marry believing that they can always get a divorce if the marriage does not work out.
In the past, the large majority of Americans frowned at the idea of divorce. Furthermore, many people believed that getting a divorce was a luxury that only the rich could afford. Indeed, getting a divorce was very expensive. However, since so many people have begun to take a more casual view of marriage, it is interesting to note that the costs of getting a divorce are lower. In fact, wherever you go in the United States today, it is no unusual to see newspaper ads that pro vide information on how and where to get a cheap divorce.
Hollywood has always been known as the divorce capital of the world. The divorce rate among the movie stars is so high that it is difficult to know who is married to whom. Today, many movie stars change husbands and wives as though they were changing clothes. Until marriage again becomes a serious and important part of people's lives, we will probably continue to see a high rate of divorce.
