问题     Actually, he did like something: his business. (63) The problem was that while he was still a fabulously wealthy man, he had recently begun to make big mistakes. (64) He insisted on buying companies at very high prices, only to watch them fail or go bankrupt.
    Ellsworth was in pretty good shape for a 76-year-old, but his business failures were ruinous to his health. (65) He had suffered his last heart attack after his disastrous purchase of a small railroad in Iowa. (66)The health problem he suffered be-fore that came about because of excitement over the failure of a chain of grocery stores, stores which he had purchased at an in-flated price. It seemed that all his recent purchases had to be liquidated at a great sacrifice to both his pocketbook and his health. (67)They were beginning to have serious effects.
