根据题意可知，我也不(高兴)，neither/nor＋系动词/助动词/情态动词＋sb.表示某人也不(同意或赞成上文的观点)，易把either看作neither，无either was I句式，故B项正确。

More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children，a new survey showed last Tuesday.
The survey，published by the Bank of America，studied the rich with $3 million or m ore in assets.It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well­developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”．The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self­made，first­generation rich.Fifty­two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are，and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth.One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.
They are worried that their children would become lazy，spend money freely，make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.
Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance (遗产) they plan to leave them.
“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation，” said Sallie Krawcheck，president of the Global Wealth and Investment Management of the Bank of America.“Our research，however，uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”
The trend is led by the world’s richest man Bill Gates，who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife，the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation (基金会)，and not to his children.
“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact，” he said.
Of his plans for his children，Gates said：“I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage...they will need to work but they will feel
reasonably taken care of.”
【语篇解读】调查表明，大部分美国富人不愿向孩子炫富，甚至不打算将丰厚的资产传给后代。

5．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance
B．rich parents don’t equal rich kids，at least in the US
C．American children don’t get to inherit their parents’ wealth
D．poor children don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents
解析推理判断题。

第二段的后半部分提到在被调查的美国富人中，几乎没有人计划为他们的孩子保留资产或者将资产传给孩子，由此可推断在美国，父母富有并不意味着孩子富有。

答案 B
6．According to the survey，most rich Americans________.
A．think they owe their children nothing
B．think it best to give their money back to society
C．doubt their children’s ability to handle wealth
D．are confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth
解析推理判断题。

根据第四段内容可推知，大部分美国富人怀疑他们的孩子处理财富的能力。

答案 C
7．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to________.
A．responsible children B．Bill Gates and his wife
C．first­generation rich D．rich parents
解析猜测词义题。

人们期望富裕的父母把他们的财富传给下一代，此处they指代的是画线词前面的“the wealthy parents”，即“rich parents”。

答案 D
8．From the last paragraph，we can see that Bill Gates wants to show________.
A．the trend of leaving no inheritance to children
B．the positive impact of charity on society
