Conrad Hilton really wanted to be a banker. Instead, he successfully changed the【C1】______purchase of a Texas low-end hotel into a multimillion-dollar hotel empire that earned him the【C2】______"innkeeper to the world."
Born in New Mexico in 1887, Hilton was 19 when his parents began renting out rooms in their home. The business didn’t interest him, however, so he became a【C3】______legislator, founded a bank and went off to war.

It【C6】______to oil-field workers, so its 40 rooms turned over every eight hours. A week later, Hilton owned it. He soon acquired more hotels—and started to build new ones. His first, the Dallas Hilton, opened in 1925. By the late 1940s, Hilton’s list included the Town House in Beverly Hills and Chicago’s Palmer House, as well as【C7】______nightclubs featuring A-list stars. He also expanded internationally. And in 1949, he bought the "greatest of them all": New York City’s magnificent Waldorf-Astoria.

Even modern hotel-reservations systems【C9】______from one Hilton which was established in 1948.
Today the Hilton Hotels Corp. owns some 3,300【C10】______in 78 countries. Last year more than a quarter-billion guests checked in.

M)inherited N)creative O)state [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
I
解析
his提示此处应为名词,并可与动词make构成词组。从下文提到的希尔顿所做的一系列工作推断他的朋友建议他去得克萨斯“发展”,fortune符合语义,make one’s fortune意为“发财,发迹”。
