Much-to-your-credit cards

摘要

Virtue, according to Cardinal New-nan, a 19th-century theologian, is its own reward. In most stories about good behaviour, though-from Cinderella to the Happy Prince-the rewards for being good turn out to be very material, even though they require a little patience. If the government has its way, a scheme to provide every child aged between 13 and 19 with an "opportunity card" will make the wait between a good deed arid its reward disappear altogether.
