the summer of 1965 DeLuca then 17 visited Peter Buck a family friend Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future I m 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 1000 DeLuca rented a storefront 店面 in Connecticut and when they couldn t cover their start up costs Buck kicked in another 1000 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 sales were lower than their costs DeLuca was managing the store and going 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 open a second store We figured we could tell the public We are so successful we are opening a second store And they did in the spring of 1966 Still it was a lot of learning by trial and error But the partners learn as you go approach turned out to be their greatest strength Every Friday DeLuca would drive around and hand deliver the checks to 9 pay their suppliers 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 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 Subway Sandwich the multimillion dollar restaurant chain 64 DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to A support his family B pay for his college education C help his partner expand business D do some research 65 They decided to open

will be a highly competitive one for organizations and individuals alike Information technology although only one of many new features of the next society is already having one important effect it is allowing knowledge to spread near instantly and making it accessible to everyone Given the ease and speed at which information travels every institution in the knowledge society not only businesses but also schools universities hospitals and increasingly government agencies too has to be globally competitive even though most organizations will continue to be local in their activities and in their markets This is because the Internet will keep customers everywhere informed of what is available anywhere in the world and at what price This new knowledge economy will rely heavily on knowledge workers At present this term is widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning such as doctors lawyers teachers accountants and chemical engineers But the most striking growth will be in knowledge technologists computer technicians software designers analysts in clinical labs manufacturing technologists These people are as much manual 体力 workers as they are knowledge workers in fact they usually spend far more time working with their hands than 10 with their brains but their manual work is based on a large amount of theoretical knowledge which can be acquired only through formal education not through an apprenticeship 学徒期 They are not as a rule much better paid than traditional skilled workers but they see themselves as professionals just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant social and political force in the 21st century knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant social and perhaps also political force over the next decades 67 The quick spread of knowledge in the next society A is based on information technology B results from a highly competitive society C is likely to increase information flow D will become the biggest problem to handle 68 Knowledge workers mentioned in the passage most likely A work with hands rather than brains B have received primary and secondary education C have acquired theoretical knowledge through apprenticeship D have received higher education and acquired theoretical knowledge 69 The underlined word dominant in this passage probably means A most influential B most interesting C most diligent D most serious 70 The chief reason for fierce competition in the knowledge society is that A individuals are easily influenced by information B customers keep track of new products worldwide C anyone can have access to knowledge anytime and anywhere D local organizations such as universities and hospitals will be globalized 第第

feel that we have not been given a fair treatment The positive side of this negative emotion is that it has helped us to evolve as humans and cope in a better manner with our surroundings However it tends to become a problem when we fail to control it Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled one of your relationships for which you regret later It has some bad effects on the health too We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us whom we love One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others If you feel that you
