In 1950, Helena Rubinstein was one of the richest women in the world. She started with nothing. She had no money, no education, and no one to help her. All she had were 12 jars of face cream and a lot of energy and ambition. She turned there into a multimillion-dollar cosmetics (化妆品) empire.
Helena Rubinstein was born in 1870 in Krakow, Poland. She was the oldest of eight girls. Helena ’ s mother thought that beauty was very important. She used a special skin cream that a foreign chemist made for her. Helena’ s mother made all of her daughters use it too.
Helena’ s father wanted her to be a doctor. But she hated medicine and left school. Her father was very angry. Then he wanted her to get married, but she refused. In 1992, she went to Melbourne, Australia, to live with a cousin and an uncle. She took only her clothes and 12 jars of face cream.
Helena didn’ t speak English. She had no money and no plans. After she arrived, everyone noticed her beautiful skin. In Australia, the hot and dry weather is very bad for the skin. When she told some of the women about the face cream, they all wanted some. Helena sold them her cream and then ordered more.
Helena borrowed $ 1, 500 and opened a shop to sell the cream. She worked 18 hours a day, seven days a week. She lived simply and saved all of her profits. She also learned how to make different kinds of creams and showed women how to take care of their skin. It was the first shop of this kind in the world.
In less than two years, Rubinstein had paid her loan and saved $50, 000. She made more and more money every year. All this time, she thought only of work and success. A newspaper reporter named Edward Titus was in love with her. But she was not interested in him. She left Australia and went to Europe to learn more about the science of beauty.
Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?
选项
A、The Science of Beauty
B、The Story of Helena
C、A Story of Love
D、A Business Empire
答案
B
解析
主旨题。文章围绕化妆品帝国的缔造者Helena展开,介绍了她情况以及母亲对其专注于化妆品的影响,还有Helena最初的创业过程与其后不懈的奋斗。由此可知,这篇文章讲的就是Helena的故事,故答案为B。选项A和选项C与文章主题完全不相关,而选项D虽然与主题有所相关,但表达得过于笼统,故均排除。
