1.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 13Carnegie began work in a cotton mill,earning $1.5per 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(投资).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 1919at the age of 83.

C.Carnegie believed that money was everything.
D.Carnegie could have been more successful if he had been formally educated.

25.B 细节理解题:"He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility."句意:他继续给公司留下深刻印象并迅速成长,获得越来越多的责任,由此可见:卡耐基应该是被放到更高的位置.故选B.

27.C 主旨大意题,综合全文主要讲述了卡耐基从贫穷一步一步努力取得成功的故事,所以C选项:From Rags to Riches:The Story of Andrew Carnegie,从贫穷到富有,安德鲁卡耐基的故事,这个标题比较合适,故选C.
