Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay f

21、or it，” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, you should open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn&

22、#39;t cover their start­up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their s

23、ales were lower than their costs.Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to o

24、pen a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful; we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners' learn­as­you­go approach turned out to be their greatest strength.

25、 Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand­deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out，” Deluca says.A

26、nd having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal，” Deluca adds.Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion­dollar restaurant chain. 46Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.Asuppor

27、t his familyBpay for his college education Chelp his partner expand businessDdo some research 47Which of the following is true of Buck? AHe put money into the sandwich business. BHe was a professor of business administration. CHe was studying at the University of Bridgeport. DHe rented a storefront

28、for Deluca. 48What can we learn about their first shop? AIt stood at an unfavorable place. BIt lowered the prices to poor management. CIt made no profits due to poor management. DIt lacked control over the quality of sandwich. BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelli

29、ng. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of strikin

30、g out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same reco

31、rd. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus­and­such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firml

32、y carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find hi

33、s or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once wi

34、th your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.49In this passage, the author wants to tell _.Ateenagers to try to pursue their real selvesBreaders to try to be

35、 popular with people aroundCparents to try to control and guide their childrenDpeople to try to understand and respect each other50The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _.Agrowing away from their parentsBfollowing the popularity trend Cwalking a new way on their ownDturning to their friends

36、for help51.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _.Athe distractive and variable societyBthe dazzling music worldCthe parental care and loveDthe popularity wave in the society 52What does the author think of advertisements?AConvincing. BInstructive.CInfluential. DAu

37、thoritative.CBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive def

38、endants(被告)But in the executive circle，beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to acco

39、unt for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive fe

40、male executives.Interestingly，though，the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able？An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and a

41、n attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus，an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the“masculine”qualities required.This is true even in politics.“When the only clue

42、 is how he or she looks，people treat men and women differently，”says Anne Bowman，who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness.The s

43、tudents were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men，but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the few

54、nesty in American moralsEMoral values in AmericaFCompassion61._Do Americans have any morals? Thats a good question. Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions. Some voices, though, are calling Americans back to traditional moral values. William J. Bennett, forme

55、r US. Secretary of Education, edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do just that. Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character. The success of Bennetts book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. But what are they?62_To begin with, moral values in America are like

56、those in any culture. In fact, many aspects of morality are universal. But the stories and traditions that teach them are unique to each culture. Not only that, but culture influences how people show these virtues.63_One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The well­known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George c
