　　One of the greatest stories of rags to riches success is that of Andrew Carnegie,who started life in Poverty but became the richest man in the world.

　　Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1837,the son of a weaver.In 1848,the.family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began work in a cotton mill,earning $1.5 per week.About three years later,he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy.At work,his superiors were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.This was his first big break.He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility.At the same time,Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library.He rend widely on all subjects,particularly literature.

　　Carnegie now began to save a little money and,with the help of his employer,began to make some successful investments（投資).He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself,owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune.By the 1890s,the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most successful business in the world.

　　Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit（追求）of wealth was never an end in itself.In his view,successful, wealthy people should give away their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.True to his word,in 1901,at the age of 66,he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.

　　Carnegie's lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didn't influence his success.His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard,his intelligence and good business sense, and his talent for making things happen.He died in 1919 at the age of 83.

　　【解析】這是一篇傳記類文章，主要講述了卡耐基從貧窮，通過自己的努力成為一個成功人士的故事。

　　4. 細節理解題，根據：“his superiors were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.”可知卡耐基被他的雇主高度評價，故A正確；根據“Carnegie now began to save a little money and,with the help of his employer,began to make some successful investments（投資)”可知：卡耐基是在雇主的幫助下投資成功，故B錯；根據：“In his view,successful, wealthy people should give away their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.”可見卡耐基認為錢不是全部，富有成功的人應該為社會做貢獻，故C錯誤；D選項無中生有，沒有依據，故錯誤，故選A。

　　5. 細節理解題：“He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility.”句意：他繼續給公司留下深刻印象并迅速成長，獲得越來越多的責任，由此可見：卡耐基應該是被放到更高的位置。故選B。

　　7. 主旨大意題，綜合全文主要講述了卡耐基從貧窮一步一步努力取得成功的故事，所以C選項：From Rags to Riches: The Story of Andrew Carnegie，從貧窮到富有，安德魯卡耐基的故事，這個標題比較合適，故選C。

　　C

　　In Chinese we say,"Your handwriting says a lot about you."But in the eyes of South African photographer John Thackwray,someone's bedroom can do just the same thing.

　　Thackwray,30,first had the idea of taking pictures of people's bedrooms six years ago,because he was curious how young people born in the 1980s and 1990s lived their lives.And he started with his friends' in Paris.

　　Soon he decided to take this project a little further.Over the past six years,Thackwray has traveled to 55 countries and taken pictures of 1,200 bedrooms—from New York,one of the world's busiest and most developed cities,to Russia,Thailand,Iran and the poor neighborhoods in Nairobi,and cast African countries.

　　From the layout of the rooms and the little items in them,you can not only see how different people's lifestyles and personalities are,but also get an insight into how unequal the world is and how traditions are replaced by new technology.

　　Now Thackwray has put all his photos into a book named My Room Project.Each photo in the book comes with the name,age and job of its owner,and they are arranged in the order of his travels.But Thackwray got a lot more from the project than the chance to publish a book.He also saw a lot of things,met a lot of people and had many great experiences.

　　"I was impressed by the spirituality in India,the friendliness of the Russian people and the craziness of the Japanese lifestyle,"Thackwray told The Huffington Post.

　　8. 細節理解題：根據："Your handwriting says a lot about you."But in the eyes of South African photographer John Thackwray,someone's bedroom can do just the same thing.句意：你的字體可以說明很多關于你，一些人的臥室也可以做同樣的事情，由此可知，一個人的臥室也可以反應一個人的品質，故選C。
