17．
A．What accounts for this culture of generosity？
B．This belief is central to the national character．
C．How can a sense of generosity be cultivated？
D．Americans'generosity is rooted in selfless behavior．
E．America's philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich．
F．The formal practice of philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father．
Charity-Humanity's most kind and generous desire-is a timeless and borderless virtue，dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching．Philanthropy（慈善行為）as we understand it today，however，is a distinctly American phenomenon，inseparable from the nation that shaped it．From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett，Gates and Zuckerberg，the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA．（67）F Benjamin Franklin，an icon of individual industry and frugality（節(jié)儉）even in his own day，understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good．When he died in 1790，F(xiàn)ranklin thought to future generations，leaving in trust two gifts of 1，000 Ib．of sterling silver-one to the city of Boston，the other to Philadelphia．According to his instruction，a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years．
While Franklin's gifts lay in wait，the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation．（68）E Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy's evolution．One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald，who helped construct more than 5，300 schools across the segregated（種族隔離）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students．（69）A The answer is not just to benefit others．Tax reduction，for one，encourages the rich people to give．And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite．More troubling，however，are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary．Just before his death，Dr．Martin Luther King Jr．wrote，"Philanthropy is praise-worthy，but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary．"
Franklin's gifts represent a broader principle．We are guardians of a public trust，even if our capital came from private enterprise，and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people．（70）B America's greatest strength is not the fact of perfection，but rather the act of perfecting．

1．Before World War II，all bank tellers（出納）were men．But as men went to war during the early 1940s，banks trained women to take their place．I was among 20 women selected by Bank of America to work as a teller at a small branch in Los Angeles．
November 23，1942 was a day I'll never forget when I was 22 years old and just two months on the job．When a well-dressed man in a suit，tie and hat came to my window．I greeted him with a friendly"Good afternoon．"But he shouted，"This is it!"
'The man placed a brown bag on the counter and said；"Fill it up．"Because of'the way he was dressed，it didn't dawn on me that this was a hold-up（持槍搶劫）．I was sure it must be a test of the new tellers'ability to follow bank rules．Eager to pass such a test，I coolly opened the bag，and then calmly filled it with marked bills．
"None of these!"the man shouted，insisting that I fill the bag with cash from another teller's drawer．Well，that was a big no-no from training：You never touch another teller's cash!I firmly told him it was against bank rules．You can imagine the disbelief on the robber's face．Other tellers later told me they couldn't believe I refused the robber's demands．
When the man told me to stand in front of the other staff along the wall，threatening to shoot me if anyone moved，I finally realized this was real．After the robber fled the bank，the manager got his gun and went after the robber but he failed to catch him．The robber was caught after another bank hold-up，and I was told I was the first female teller to be held up in California，which was a fact that attracted many reporters．

C．She knew the man had no gun with him．
D．She had experienced the same thing before．

A．Worried．
B．Disappointed．
C．Skeptical．
D．Ashamed．
