The newspaper’s founder, owner, and editor, Horace Greeley, anxiously snatched the first copy as it came sliding off the press. This was his dream of many years that he held in his hand. It was as precious as a child. Its birth was the result of years of poverty, hard work, and disappointments.
Hard luck and misfortune had followed Horace all his life. He was born of poor parents on February 3, 1811, on a small farm in New Hampshire. During his early childhood, the Greeley family rarely had enough to eat. They moved from one farm to another because they could not pay their debts.

Horace hurried home to shout the good news to his family. When he got there, he learned that his family was about to move again—
句意:Horace创办《论坛报》的时候已经很富有,并且熟悉报纸行业的各项技能。文章第十五段开头提到,随着Greeley的技艺越来越好,他开始有好的工作机会,能够购置好的衣服并搬出昏暗的房子,由此可以得出Greeley当时技能纯熟,也很富有,排除B、C,D项符合原文意思。A项Greeley变得出名发生在其创办《论坛报》之后。
