C

解析:

    Hetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. (22) At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. (23) Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. (24) She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.

    (24) Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. (25) Her daughter built a hospital with her money.

(22). What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?

解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知,Hetty Green六岁时就阅读财经日报,并且开通了自己的银行账户。由此我们可以得知,Hetty Green从小时候就对财经产生了浓厚的兴趣。因此选择C项。
