As you probably know, J.Paul Getty was one of the richest and moat successful American industrialists in history.Quite ambitious from an early age, Getty made his first million at age 23 in 1916.He later went on to found the Getty oil company, In 1957, Fortune magazine named him the richest living American and in 1966, the Guinness Book of Records named him as the world's richest private citizen.
Although he is highly regarded by vast numbers of people for his financial success, as a younger man, his drive to acquire power and money had a detrimental impact on other aspects of his life, particularly in his relationships with women.He was, at one point quoted assaying A lasting relationship with a woman is only possible if you are a business failure.” He married five times, having children with four of these wives.He couldn’t seem to keep a marriage going for very long.His obsession with having a fortune and power alienated (疏远) each of his wives, eventually driving them away. His marriage with his first wife Jeanette lasted for only three years, with Allene for two years, Adolphine, four years, Ann, four years, and finally Louise, nineteen years.
Perhaps as a young man, Getty was willing to pay whatever price for financial success.Yet Paul came to feel some regret in regard to his life priorities as he approached his later years when he Wrote: I hate and regret the failure of my marriages.I would gladly give all of my millions for just one lasting marriage success.
At the end of Getty's life, all of the wealth that he had got meant very little to him.It was only then that he became wise enough to understand what really mattered most.Despite all of his accomplishments, he died with great regret.
It' s a sad story and a cautionary tale for those of us who may have chosen to make career building our highest priority(优先权), thereby ignoring our relationships.Like any other living organism, relationships require care and attention in order to grow.Even the strongest relationships will he damaged, if there is not enough care.

最佳答案
(答案→)C 解析:【小题1】段落大意题。在第一段中提及了他的个人成就23岁的时候就挣得第一个100万,以及后来被吉尼斯认为是当时世界上最富有的个人,故C正确。【小题2】推理题。根据第二段2,3行his drive to acquire power and money had a detrimental impact on other aspects of his life, particularly in his relationships with women说明他对金钱的追求伤害了他与妻子的关系,文章后面叙述了他与几任妻子都离婚了。说明该词指伤害的意思。【小题3】细节题。根据第二段最后His marriage with his first wife Jeanette lasted for only three years, with Allene for two years, Adolphine, four years, Ann, four years, and finally Louise, nineteen years.可知他和最后一人妻子Louise的婚姻持续了19年,是最长的。故D正确。【小题4】推理题。根据At the end of Getty's life, all of the wealth that he had got meant very little to him.It was only then that he became wise enough to understand what really mattered most.说明他已经意识到财富对他来说已经不算什么了。最重要的是在上一段中提及的I hate and regret the failure of my marriages.说明他很重视自己的婚姻。故C正确。【小题5】推理题。文章通过富豪Getty的故事告诉我们最重要的是人与人之间的社会关系,而不是金钱。故C正确。
