Last year, I was speaking at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the 36 of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.

“What?” 37 one participant, “Those guys have to be lying.”

There is no reliable 38 of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the 39 spender.

A recent survey by Wilmington Trust, Campden Research and Relative Solutions proves the 40 . The companies polled 40 women (I know, that is more like a show of hands than “survey”), each with a net worth of $25 million or more.

About half the respondents（受调查者） inherited（继承） their 41 , a quarter 42 it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it 43 . That is roughly in line with other surveys of 44 women and the source of their money. One interesting note: among the self-made women, 90% got their money from owning a business, rather than 45 a salary.

As for 46 , almost all the women (90%) described their spending habits as “below their means.” The report on the survey said that is possibly 47 they do not view their extreme wealth as defining their success.

“Women tend not to spend as much as 48 and splash（泼洒得使到处是） their names all over the place,” said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as conservative and her lifestyle as “below the radar.”

Many women also worried about wealth having 49 effects on their children and didn’t want to spend lavishly（挥霍） to 50 a bad example.

At the same time, 70% of the women said they “buy nice things when 51 .” And 93.5% of the women said they were responsible for making 52 on major purchases, which 53 that they do a lot of the big spending.

Of course, for truly major purchases a house in Aspen, Colo., a Gulfstream, a Feadship the couple probably makes the decision 54 .

But what about other 55 ? Do you think men or women do most of the high-end spending?

36. A. directions B. reasons C. times D. consequences

37. A. cried B. sighed C. shouted D. laughed

38. A. data B. measure C. division D. news

In fact, I plan on asking for help as 53 as possible. But I have found that I can still be 54 and ask for help when I need it. The only stupid question is the one you didn’t 55 .

“I’m going to make you attractive,” said Mika Hill, looking at the 21 of the woman sitting before her．The women once had long, 22 , dark hair．But alopecia（秃头症） had 23 her just a little of it．Hill, a wig（假发） maker, was about to change that．

At 30, Hill knows from experience how a woman feels when she 24 her hair．Her own hair fell out several years ago 25 a lack of iron after giving birth．“I cried when I washed it, when I combed it, and when I looked in the 26 ,” she says．Then she bought a wig．“It was too small,” she says, “but my 27 went up greatly．”

Hill enrolled（注册） in a wig-making 28 in New York．Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to 29 for $300 each．

But many of her customers with alopecia and cancer couldn’t 30 that much, and their health insurance often didn’t 31 the cost．So Hill started giving the wigs away, eventually spending $10,000 of her own money．Last year, she and her friend Lita Warren 32 Pink Barrette, a non-profit organization that has 33 about 60 wigs to poor women．

Hill pays 34 the donations with profits from her other products． 35 , she and her husband have also spent much of their savings keeping the organization running．

Hill’s customers can’t thank her enough．Elyssa Montoya was too 36 to be seen in public with her 37 thinning hair．“I didn’t feel I could show my bald head outside．Thanks to Mika, I now have beautiful hair, and feel 38 about myself again．”

“Seeing their self-confidence 39 after they try on their wigs,” says Hill, “brings 40 to my eyes．This is a job for me, and a most rewarding one．”
