Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．C;3．D;4．C;5．C;
解析：

(1)	由第二段可知Economist Stephen Harper在競爭the Conservative Party領導權時，擊敗了Stronach與Tony Clement。
(2)	由最后一段“But she says she will run for a seat in Parliament”可知，盡管Stronach在競選中失敗，但是她還要在議會中爭得一席之地。
(3)	文中提到她是一位百萬富翁，可知她有錢；2002年被財富雜志評為最具有影響力的婦女之一，在試圖從政開始就引起了人們的關注，所以說明其著名；2001年成為CEO，且成為其公司的董事長，可知其有才華。
(4)	這兩段主要闡述了其婚姻狀況，以及其最近與克林頓的來往，所以可知這兩段說的是“其私生活”。
(5)	由文章可知，Walking與Stronach已經離婚，Walking在1994年當過CEO；文中提到the pair became Magna's power couple，可知C項文中沒有提到。
