7．Dear Max，
Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future．Your new life is full of promise，and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully．You've already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in．
Like all parents，we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today．While newspapers often focus on what's wrong，in many ways the world is getting better．Health is improving．The number of poor families is decreasing．Knowledge is growing．People are connecting．Technological progress in every field means your life should be much better than ours today．
We will do our part to make this happen，not only because we love you，but also because we have a responsibility to all children in the next generation．We believe all lives have equal value．Our society has its duty to improve the lives of all those coming into this world，not just those already here．
Today，most people die from five things-heart disease，cancer，stroke，neurodegenerative and infectious diseases-and we can make faster progress on these and other problems．Once we recognize that your generation and your children's generation may not have to suffer from disease，we collectively have a responsibility to increase our investments （投资） a bit more towards the future to make this reality．Your mother and I want to do our part．Curing disease will take time．Over short periods of five or ten years，it may not seem like we're making much of a difference．But over the long term，seeds planted now will grow，and one day，you or your children will see what we can only imagine：a world without suffering from disease．
There are so many opportunities just like this．If society focuses more of its energy on these great challenges，we will leave your generation a much better world．Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas：advancing human potential （潜能） and equality．Our society must do this not only for justice or charity，but for the greatness of human progress．
Today your mother and I are devoted to spending our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges．I，Zuckerberg，will continue to serve as Facebook's CEO for many，many years to come，but these things are too important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work．
We will give away 99% of our Facebook shares-now about 45dollar billion-during our lives to advance this mission．We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these matters．But we want to do what we can，working alongside many others．
As we become parents and enter this next chapter（篇章）of our lives，we w ant to share our deep appreciation for everyone who makes this possible．We can make progress towards these opportunities only by standing on the shoulders of experts．And we can only focus on serving this community and this mission because we are surrounded by loving family，supportive friends and amazing colleagues．We hope you will have such deep and inspiring relationships in your life too．
Max，we love you and feel a great re sponsibility to leave the world a better place for you and all child ren．We wish you a life filled with the same love，hope and joy you give us．We can't wait to see what you bring to this world．

点评 阅读理解是考查语篇理解能力．常考的题型有：推理判断题；主旨大意题；细节理解题；猜测词意题．近几年又出现了两种新的考查方式：写作态度判断题和文章结构题．解题时，在读懂文章的基础上，还有特别注意掌握题型的特征，尤其是细节题和推断题不可混淆：细节题是文章信息的再现；推断题是文章信息的提取．本题是广告类文章，考查主要是以细节题为主，细节题要注意常用的出题陷阱有：夸大，缩小，张冠李戴，偷梁换柱，无中生有等，做题时要看清看准．
