题目

阅读理解 Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930. As the second oldest kid in his family, he has two sisters. He showed an amazing talent (天资) for both money and business at a very early age. At the age of six, Buffett bought six-packs of Coca-Cola from his grandfather's store for twenty-five cents and resold each of the bottles for five cents. While other children of his age were playing, Buffett was making money. Five years later, Buffett took his first step into the world of high finance (金融). At eleven years old, he bought three shares (股票)of Cities Service Preferred (CSP) at $ 38 per share for both himself and his sister, Doris. Shortly after buying them, the shares fell to just over $ 27 per share. Though Buffett felt frightened, he held his shares until they went up to $ 40. He immediately sold them—a mistake he would soon come to regret, because each share of the CSP went up to $ 200. The experience taught him that investing (投资)needed time and a patient wait. In 1947, Buffett graduated from high school when he was 17 years old. It was never his plan to go to college. He had already made $ 5,000 by delivering newspapers. His father had other plans and strongly advised his son to attend the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. Buffett only stayed there for two years, saying that he knew more than his professors. He returned home and went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Despite working full-time, he managed to graduate in only three years. Buffett approached graduate studies with the same resistance he displayed a few years earlier. He was finally persuaded to apply to Harvard Business School, which refused him because he was too young. Buffett then applied to Columbia University, where he got an experience that would forever change his life from famous investors Ben Graham and David Dodd. （1） What do we know about Buffett? A .
