People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes. (76)
He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time.
He had everything: good looks, success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn’t have love or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.
Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic (工作狂) and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes’ s mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Allene had mental problems. (77)
She was afraid of germs and diseases.
She was obsessed with Howard’ s health, and he became obsessed with it too.
Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend (传奇人物). Hughes began to invest his money in movies. He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control. When he couldn’t get something legally, he gave money to politicians and businessmen so they would help him. He owned a lot of businesses, including airplane companies, a movie studio(制片厂), Las Vegas hotels, gold and silver mines, and radio and television stations. Once he bought a television studio so he could watch movies all night. He also bought a hotel because he wanted to stay in his favorite room for one weekend.
Howard Hughes’ parents died______.
选项
A、when he was 16 years old
B、before he was 19 years old
C、after he got married
D、after he moved to California
答案
B
解析
细节题。题干问的是“霍华德的父母是什么时候过世的?”根据定位句“在霍华德十六岁时,母亲艾琳去世了。两年后,父亲也过世了。"可知,父亲在母亲之后两年过世,那时霍华德是18岁。B项符合句意,故选B。
