Many people take to social media to share news of big events. On December 1st Facebook’s boss, Mark Zuckerberg, followed in the tradition he helped create, when he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced the birth of their daughter on the social-networking site, along with news that they will give away the majority of their fortune during their lifetimes.
Around 99% of the shares they own in Facebook, which today are worth around $ 45 billion, will go into the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). Their aim, they wrote, is to improve the world for their daughter and future generations. For now, the move allows Mr. Zuckerberg to relinquish wealth, but not control, as he will retain the votes associated with any shares transferred to CZI. He anticipates remaining the controlling stakeholder of Facebook " for the foreseeable future" , and plans to sell, or give away, no more than $ 1 billion of Facebook stock each year for the next three years.
Mr. Zuckerberg is far from the first tech titan to pledge billions to philanthropic activities, but he is following a slightly different path to Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder. Whereas the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a registered charity, the Zuckerbergs’ CZI will be a limited liability company ( LLC ). Although charitable status comes with alluring tax breaks, strings are attached. Unlike charities, LLCs can lobby without restriction; the Zuckerbergs have said that CZI will get involved in policy debates.
The other flexibility LLC status allows is the freedom to invest in for-profit ventures that have a big social impact. In this, the Zuckerbergs are following in the footsteps of Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, an online marketplace, who grew frustrated by the constraints of charitable status.
Mr. Omidyar now oversees the Omidyar Network, which has for-profit and non-profit arms. Will Fitzpatrick, designer of this hybrid structure, claims that the for-profit arm can more easily invest in things that can be scaled up quickly. He gives the example of an investment in a solar lantern that cost less than $ 10 a unit, which meant people did not have to burn dangerous kerosene, and which he says would have been technically difficult to achieve through a private foundation.
This passage is best entitled______.
选项
A、Mark Zuckerberg Finds Another Way to Share
B、Mark Zuckerberg and His Wife Having Their First Baby
C、More High-tech Giants Devoted to Philanthropy
D、Mark Zuckerberg Find a New Way of Running Facebook
答案
A
解析
主旨题。本篇文章主要是讲Facebook创始人和他妻子生下了孩子,为了改善女儿与后代生活的世界,他们决定捐出约99%的Facebook股份,而且采用了建立有限责任公司的方式管理这些善款,没有采取传统的慈善基金会的方式。综上,答案选[A]“马克-扎克伯格找到了另一种分享财富的方式”。[B]“马克·扎克伯格和妻子生育了第一个孩子”概括得太偏了;[C]“更多的科技巨头投身慈善”;[D]“马克·扎克伯格找到了运营Facebook的新方法”。
