14．It was 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．DeLucarentedastorefront（店面）inConnecticut，andwhentheycouldn'tcovertheirstart-upcosts，Buckkickedinanother1000．
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 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．
28．DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order toB．
A．support his family              
B．pay for his college education
C．help his partner expand business   
D．do some research
29．What can we learn about their first shop？C

9．Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year，but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US，the government politely said no．
"We don't know whether the food is safe，"said Zambia's commerce，Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel．
    His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America's genetically modified（GM，轉(zhuǎn)基因的）crops．Just last week，EU（歐盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．
    Ever since people started farming，they have tried to crossbreed（雜交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting．At one time，only related plants could be crossed with each other．
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s，scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature．
    This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics，such as"golden rice"，which is enriched with vitamin A．But many people believe GM foods are a health risk．
    At the moment，the official argument is that GM foods"are not likely to present risks for human health"．But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways．
    Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies．Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．
    People in China are also getting worried about GM foods．More than 70 percent of the
country's soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans．Meanwhile，an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products．The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them．
26．Why has Zambia refused the American free maizeC
A．they decide to follow EU member's advice
B．they care little about the problem of starvation
C．they are concerned about the safety of GM foods
D．they are too proud to accept free offer
27．It has been proved thatA．
A．GM techniques can increase the production of crops
B．GM food is no better than naturally produced foods
C．only related plans could be crossed with each other
D．GM foods are harmful to people's health
28．Which of the following statement is TRUEB
A．GM foods are a health risk．
B．Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods．
C．China's government hasn't taken any action about GM foods．
D．Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods．
29．What's the author's attitude towards GM foodsD
A．Supportive．B．Critical．C．Doubtful．D．Neutral．

6．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s．The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong．People watched him，and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach．Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets．Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable．
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong，but thi s is not true．Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable．
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake．In the 1890s，a group of people studied what was inside vegetables．This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did．The group wrote the number wrong，and everyone accepted it．
Today，we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is．However，spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid．It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong．Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along．
56．A good title for this reading passage isB．
A．Popeye the Sailor                    
B．The Truth About Spinach
C．Mistake with Numbers                 
D．Folic Acid Makes You Strong

A．They thought spinach made them strong．

A．made Popeye strong       
B．was a green vegetable
C．had less iron than other green vegetables
