Carnegies father came to America when Andrew was twelve, and his brother, Thomas, was five. Arriving in New York in 1848, the Carnegi
40、es settled in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania Allegheny City provided Carnegies first job, as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory, working for $1.20 a week. At 15, Carnegie became a telegraph messenger boy in Pittsburgh. Carnegies next job was as a railroad clerk, working for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He
41、 worked his way up the ladder, through his dedication and honest desire to succeed, to become train dispatcher and then division manager. At this time, young Carnegie, age 24, had already made some small investments that laid the foundations of his what would be tremendous fortune. One of these inve
42、stments was the purchase of stock in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company.In 1864, Carnegie entered the iron business, but did not begin to make steel until years later. In 1873, he built the Edgar Thomson works in Braddock, Pennsylvania, to make Bessemer steel. He established many other steel plants,
43、and in 1892, he merged all of his interests into the Carnegie Steel Company. This act from Carnegie is fitting with one of his most famous quotations, “Put all of your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.“ This firm became one of the greatest industrial enterprises in America. Carnegie la
44、ter sold it to J. P. Morgans United States Steel Corporation in 1901 for $ 400 million, which would be a little over $4 billion today!After retiring, Carnegies fortune was estimated to be as large as half a billion dollars. From that time on, with the philosophy that the rich have a moral obligation
45、 to give away their money, he devoted himself to philanthropy. Although ironic, this man of great fortune strongly believed in the merits of poverty for the development of character and work ethic, and determined that wealthy men should not leave their fortunes to their children, but should give it
46、away, claiming “The man who dies thus rich, dies disgraced.“ With the picture of community service, Carnegie is quoted as saying, “Pittsburgh entered the core of my heart when I was a boy, and cannot be torn out. I can never be one hairs breadth less loyal to her, or less anxious to help her in any
47、way, than I have been since I could help anything. My treasure is still with you, and how best to serve Pittsburgh is the question which occurs to me almost every day of my life.“79 Andrew Carnegie was（A）an American by origin.（B） an Irishman by origin.（C） a Scotsman by origin.（D）a German by origin.8
