Question

[1]Although known as an extraordinarily successful businessman, Warren Buffet comes off as a pretty ordinary person.
[2]Looking back on his childhood, one can see how serious he was about making money. Buffet used to go door-to-door and sell soda pop. Later, he also worked at his grandfather’s grocery store. At the ripe age of 11, Buffet bought his first stock(股票). When his family moved to Washington D.C., Buffet became a paperboy for The Washington Post. While still in school, he was making $175 a month, a full-time wage for many young men.
[3]From the beginning, Buffet made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money that he had made from selling pop, delivering papers and so on. Between 1950 and l956, he grew his $9, 800 to $14, 000．From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends, and then gradually drew in more people through very attractive terms.
[4]Buffet applied to Harvard Business School but         , making it to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome ended up affecting Buffet’s life deeply, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Benjamin Graham, the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation for Buffet’s grand success.
[5]Buffet is a person of habit—same house, same office, same city. He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he hates companies that waste money on such goods. Instead, he has established the Buffet Foundation, with a detailed plan on how to invest his money more wisely to society.

試題分析：本文介紹了商業(yè)天才Warren Buffet的個人成長之路。
小題1:.He is an extraordinarily successful but pretty ordinary person.
第一段說明他是一個事業(yè)上 很成功的商業(yè)天才，但是他也是從一個普通人慢慢成長起來的。
小題2:From childhood, Buffet was serious /wise enough to make money.
或How Buffet made money even when he was young.
第二段中描述了從很小的時候，他就開始自己掙錢，11歲就投資股票，送報紙等等。這些都說明他在努力掙錢。
小題3:With all the money that he had made before.
根據(jù)He started with all the money that he had made from selling pop, delivering papers and so on可知他把以前掙得錢都用來投資了。
小題4: was turned down / was not admitted/was not successful /was refused / failed. 
聊聊天。根據(jù)but可知表示轉(zhuǎn)折，也就是他沒有被哈佛錄取，這也許哈佛歷史上最糟糕的一場錄取了。
小題5: He dislikes change.
或 He doesn’t like change.
或 He hates change.
或 He was not willing to change.
或 He was unwilling to change.
根據(jù)下一句same house, same office, same city.可知他要住同一個房子，同樣的辦公室，都說明他是一個不愿意改變的人。
