Which of the following statements is CORRECT? [br]
Interviewer(M)Jean Chatzky(W)
M: This morning, on Today’s Money, love and dollars. In this July issue, Money Magazine takes a look at people who are on the hunt for billionaires. But what are the traps when you hunt for a partner with money? Money Magazine’s Jean Chatzky is today’s financial editor. Jean, good morning to you.
W: Good morning.
M: I wanted to say it at the beginning. It just has a kind of sleazy, superficial feel toward people looking for billionaires to marry. But that’s what this article is about, isn’t it?
W: Well, it has the same feeling to me too. But this article is largely commenting on the fact that this is happening, this is out there. I mean I have been in Money Magazine for ten years.(1 - 1)We have never written about anything like this before. And that’s because it’s never existed until now in a big way.
M:(1 - 2)Because there are so many billionaires. You mean at this point.
W: Right. There are 946 billionaires right now in the world.(1 - 3)For the first time, the whole Forbes 400 was billionaires in the United States. If you go one step down, there are about 85 ,000 people in this country with wealth of 30 million dollars or more, and(1 - 4)it’s easier to find them if this is something that you are out looking for, because there are dating services, dating websites that focus on helping people find other people with money. They have names like millionairematch. com.
M: Are these women looking for men or are these men looking for women? Or is it a little bit of both?
W: It’s definitely a little bit of both.(2-1)There are more billionaires who happen to be men of the 946. Only about 40 are women. So if you are set on a billionaire, you are going to have a tough time finding one who is a woman. However, I think(2-2)when we talk about this whole phenomenon of older women, younger men, we are actually talking about richer women, poorer men. We are just not saying it.
M: So a man or a woman who wants to find themselves a billionaire,(3 - 1)besides the websites they can go to, what else is out there?
W: Well. You have to figure out where the billionaires are to begin with. And that means looking in the different industries where they exist. There are about half of all billionaires that Money Magazine looked at. They took a very scientific approach to this study and found their mates at work.(3 - 2)So if this is something that you are up for, and you may want to go out there, get yourself an MBA or get a job in finance or in the investment world which is where most billionaires these days happen to work.
M: The point is, what a cynical thing you are saying, get yourself an MBA so you can find yourself a billionaire?
W: This is not how I want my daughter, or my son, for that matter out there dating. I want my kids to have their own money, as I am sure you do. Because when you have the money in the relationship, you have the power in the relationship, That’s just the way it works. And so you need to know what you want in another person, but you know, there are people out there who say I want this, I want to be wealthy, and this is one way to get there.
M: Okay. So besides getting the MBA, whatever it is, will get you closer to the person who is wealthy, what else can you do?
W: Well.(3-3)You can look for common interests. I mean if you look at the things that billionaires or very wealthy people do, they tend to spend a lot of money on luxury items, so focusing your interest on real estate or art galleries, or collecting, you might get involved in charities where they are likely to be. If you don’t have enough money to buy a ticket to their great ball of the year, then volunteer. But get yourself in there in a way that you are interested in the subject also. I think that It’s not easy to fake these things,(4)and the good news is that many billionaires these days seem to be marrying for smarts as well as for money. They are not looking for people who can’t carry on a conversation.
M: Yeah. I was just going to say what’s into for the billionaire?
W: I think in a lot of cases, you have to ask that question, because if you are dating somebody who has all the money in the relationship, you need to know upfront what you are giving, otherwise you are going to be in trouble on the back end.
M: But this whole premise of marrying somebody for money isn’t like buying a house whose foundation is sand essentially.
W: I think in a large number of cases, it can be. And that’s why if you go into that kind of a marriage, you’d better have a premarital agreement, and it’d better be tight, so you’d better have your own lawyer negotiating it for you.
M: Alright, Jean Chatzky, thanks so much. Nice to see you.
W: Me too.
选项
A、smart and wealthy
B、smart but not wealthy
C、wealthy but not beautiful
D、beautiful but not smart
答案
D
解析
本题考查重要细节。根据句(4)可知,当今许多亿万富翁喜欢与聪明、与其有共同话题或富有的女性结为夫妇,而对于不够聪明并且没有共同话题的女性则不屑与之交往,这与是否有美丽的外表并没有关系。因此[D]为正确答案。
