People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes. 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, Alene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Alene had mental problems. She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was
obsessed
with Howard’ s health, and he became obsessed with it too.
Alene 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 nhovie 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.
Which of the following about Hughes’ s father is NOT true?
选项
A、He started the Hughes Tool Company.
B、He liked to spend money.
C、He worked hard.
D、He drank alcohol a lot.
答案
D
解析
根据第二段第二、三、四句“His father started the Hughes Tool Company He was a workaholic and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted.”可知,他的父亲一手创办了休斯器材公司;他是一位工作狂,挣了很多钱;他想要什么就买什么。只有D项(他酗酒)文章中未提及。故选D。
