Hetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares.
At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account
.
Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million
. She went to New York and in-vested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents.
She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world
. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty’s meanness was well known
. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night, looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.
When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million.
Her daughter built a hospital with her money
.
22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?
23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?
24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?
25. What do we learn about Hetty’s daughter?
选项
A、She was dishonest in business dealings.
B、She frequently ill-treated her employees.
C、She abused animals including her pet dog.
D、She was extremely mean with her money.
答案
D
解析
录音中提到。Hetty Green是世界上最富有却又最招人恨的女人之一,随后罗列她的种种吝啬表现,因此根据关键词mean“吝啬的”可选D。录音除了在后半部分大最列举Hetty Green的吝啬表现外,A、B和C中的关键词dishonest“不诚信的”,ill-treated“虐待”和abused animals“虐待动物”均未提及,故这三项均应排除。
