M: This morning, we will talk about love and dollars. In this July issue, Money Magazine takes a look at people who are on the hunt for billionaires. But what are the traps when you hunt for a partner with money? Money Magazine’s Jean Chatzky is today’s financial editor. Jean, good morning to you.
W: Good morning.
M: I wanted to say it at the beginning. (1) It just has a kind of sleazy, superficial feel towards people looking for billionaires to marry. But that’s what this article is about, isn’t it?
W: Well, it has the same feeling to me too. But this article is largely commenting on the fact that this is happening, this is out there. I mean I have been in Money Magazine for ten years. (2-1) We have never written about anything like this before. And that’s because it’s never existed until now in a big way.
M: (2-2) Because there are so many billionaires. You mean at this point.
W: Right. (3-1) There are 946 billionaires right now in the world. (2-3) For the first time, the whole Forbes 400 was billionaires in the United States. If you go one step down, there are about 85,000 people in this country with wealth of 30 million dollars or more. (2-4) And it’s easier to find them if this is something that you are out looking for, because there are dating services, dating websites that focus on helping people find other people with money. They have names like millionaire match. com.
M: Are these women looking for men or are these men looking for women? Or is it a little bit of both?
W: It’s definitely a little bit of both. (3-2/4-1) There are more billionaires who happen to be men of the 946. Only about 40 are women. So if you are set on a billionaire, you are going to have a tough time finding one who is a woman. However, I think (4-2) when we talk about this whole phenomenon of older women and younger men, we are actually talking about richer women and poorer men. We are just not saying it.
M: So a man or a woman who wants to find themselves a billionaire, besides the websites they can go to, what else is out there?
W: Well. You have to figure out where the billionaires are to begin with. And that means looking in the different industries where they exist. There are about half of all billionaires that Money Magazine looked at. They took a very scientific approach to this study and found their mates at work. (5) So if this is something that you are up for, and you may want to go out there, get yourself an MBA or get a job in finance or in the investment world which is where most billionaires these days happen to work.
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. What does the public think of those who look for billionaires to marry?
2. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
3. How many billionaires in the world are men?

C、They tend to be harder to be found than men billionaires.
D、They get married at an older age.
答案D
