Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for 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 couldnt cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales 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. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open 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 learnin g by trial and error.But the partners learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. 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 wasnt necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out，” Deluca says.And 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.26Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.Asupport his family Bpay for his college educationChelp his partner expand business Ddo some research27Which of the following is true of Buck?AHe put money into the sandwich business.

BMaking friends with supplies.CFinding a good partner. DOpening chain stores. BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away fr om 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 striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers 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 record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusand such 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 firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays 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 his 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 dont care to share at once with 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.31In this passage, the author wants to tell _.Ateenagers to try to pursue their real selvesBreaders to try to be popular with people aroundw W w .X k b 1.c O mCparents to try to control and guide their childrenDpeople to try to understand and respect each other32The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _.Agrowing away from their parents Bfollowing the popularity trendCwalking a new way on their own Dturning to their friends for help33The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _.Athe distractive and variable society Bthe dazzling music worldCthe parental care and love Dthe popularity wave in the society34What does the author think of advertisements?AConvincing. BInstructive. CInfluential. DAuthoritative.35According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?AHe/She falls behind the time. BHe/She loses good friends.CHe/She faces all kinds of criticism. DHe/She gains valuable popularity.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 defendants(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 account 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 unattracti ve women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female 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 an 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 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 students were told the photographs were of candidates for politica l 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 fewest votes.来源:Z,xx,k.Com36The underlined word “liability”(in Para.1)most probably means “_”Amisfortune BInstability Cdisadvantage Dburden37In traditionally female jobs，attractiveness_.Areinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required Bmakes women look more honest and capableCis of primary importance to women Doften enables women to succeed quickly38Bowmans experiment reveals that when it comes to politics，attractiveness_.Aturns out to be an obstacle to men Baffects men and women alikeChas as little effect on men as on women Dis more of an obstacle than a benefit to women39It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often_.Apractical Bprejudiced C.oldfashioned Dpessimistic40The author writes this passage to_.Ademand equal rights for women Bemphasize the importance of appearanceCdiscuss the negative aspects of being attractive Dgive advice to jobseekers who are attractive DWinners ClubYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.
