Passage 1

Estee Lauder Died

The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics(化妝品) empire and became one of the most influential women in US, has died on Saturday. Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan, New York City, a company spokesman said. She was 97.

Born in Queens, New York in 1908, Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Czech father.

Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz, a chemist, to beauty salons(美容院) and hotels. In 1930, she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder, took off after World War II.

In 1953, the company introduced its first perfume(香水), Youth Dew, the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70. they include: Aramis, a line of products for men, launched in 1964; and Clinique, a range of odorless (無味的)cosmetics, which followed in 1968.

By the time she retired in 1995, Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise, which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies. In 1998, she was the only woman to feature in Time magazine’s selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century. There were two secrets to her success: her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second best.

Even after her retirement at the age of 89, Lauder remained closely involved. Beauty, Lauder believed, was the most important thing in life.

She wrote in her 1985 autobiography, “Estee, a Success Story”: “In a perfect world, we’d all be judged on the sweetness of our souls. But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and, usually, the last word.”

答案與解析:

第一步: 分析文章標(biāo)題Estee Lauder Died

誰是Estee Lauder?當(dāng)文章標(biāo)題內(nèi)容不太清晰時(shí), 可以結(jié)合文章開頭句子對文章標(biāo)題進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的理解.

The child of Central Erropean immigrants who created an international cosmetics(化妝品) empire and became one of the most influential women in US, has died on Saturday. Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan, New York City, a company spokesman said. She was 97. 劃線句中并沒有提供關(guān)于“Estee Lauder是什么樣的一個(gè)人”的更多的信息， 所以注意劃線句的前后句， 劃線句的前句說：The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics(化妝品) empire.
