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 $ 1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up 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 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 multi-million-dollar restaurant chain.
小題1:Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _________________________.
A．support his familyB．pay for his college education
C．help his partner expand businessD．do some research
小題2:Which of the following is true of Buck?
A．He put money into the sandwich business.
B．He was a professor of business administration (管理).
C．He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D．He rented a storefront for DeLuca.
小題3:What can we learn about their first shop?
A．It stood at an unfavorable place.
B．It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C．It made no profits due to poor management.
D．It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.
小題4:They decided to open a second store because they ______________________.
A．had enough money to do it
B．had succeeded in their business
C．wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D．wanted to make believe that they were successful
小題5:What contributes most to their success according to the author?

C．Finding a good partner.D．Opening chain stores.

LONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The advantages are obvious; they  firm the soil, soak up (攝取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.
However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.
Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide.
Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.
Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.
Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修補(bǔ)) with it without understanding the results. For this reason there is the need to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.”
An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson.
In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超過) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions(解決辦法) to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge.
小題1:People usually hold the opinion that    
A．huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
B．huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth
C．huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for man
D．planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
小題2:Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that      
A．dust plays a more important part than trees
B．trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry places
C．carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth
D．environmental problems are more complex than expected
小題3:Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that       
A．grassland areas should be covered by forests
B．trees hold more carbon than grass
C．carbon can turn grass into dust
D．less carbon can make trees grow faster
小題4:The underlined word “combat” in the last paragraph means     
A．learn aboutB．fight againstC．live withD．give up

The price of coffee beans hits a 12 – year high today. I thought there might
be some kind of coffee – market story, like we saw with cocoa earlier this summer.
But the main driver of coffee prices right now is simpler: Colombia has had
a few years of weak coffee harvests because of too much rain, which has reduced
the global supply. And coffee drinkers keep buying coffee, even as prices rise, in
other words, demand is unchanged.
The higher price of beans – up about 40 percent since March – means higher prices for the coffee you buy by the pound. But it probably won’t affect the coffee you buy by the cup.
Smuckers, which sells Folgers and Millstone coffees, recently said it was raising its prices because of the higher cost of beans. Starbucks, however, said it would absorb the higher cost of beans without raising prices.
“You see it much more in the grocery store because the raw materials are a big factor of cost,” Jose Sette of the International Coffee Organization told me. “In a coffee shop, your big expenses are rent and labor.”
While real – world supply and demand is the big driver of the price of beans, there may be some speculative action in coffee business in the future.
But futures (期貨) of the high – grade Arabica beans are traded in the US, where regulations prevent speculators (投機(jī)商) from controlling the market, hoping such things won’t happen just as in London summer market. That suggests that prices should fall when supply improves – which may happen next year.
Some experts say that farmers in third world countries won’t actually benefit from higher prices in this case. When the price difference is due to supply and demand, the profit of the seller usually doesn’t go up.
小題1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Why coffee is getting more expensive?
B．How farmer benefits from the high price?
C．Whether the US will control the coffee market?
D．What has caused the reduction of coffee?
小題2:From the second paragraph we can infer that _______________________.
A．Colombia is the coffee trading center of the world
B．Colombia coffee output contains a final share of the world
C．People need more and more coffee
D．Coffee sales will be getting less and less
小題3:In this summer’s coffee bean market, ____________________________.
A．the US made more rules about coffee prices
B．speculators once held the coffee bean market in London
C．coffee bean trading was seriously disorganized
D．coffee bean prices were very low in the US
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The price difference determines the profit of the seller.
B．Smuckers is a famous coffee manufacturer.
C．Real – world supply and demand decides the prices.
D．Coffee prices will become much higher next year.

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (典雅)—all those little houses, looking terri­bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man­ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man­ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans­port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
小題1:The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A．is not used to the life there now
B．has lived there for seventeen years
C．prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D．has to be polite to everyone she meets there
小題2:Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A．In a cafe.B．In a restaurant.C．In a nightclub.D．In a pub.
小題3:The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A．a(chǎn) taxiB．the moneyC．a(chǎn) bombD．public transport
小題4:The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.
A．felt lonely in England
B．had never been to France
C．was from a typical French family
D．didn't like the British idea of family

When foreigners come to Chengdu, a good alternative is to get around by taking the bus. Once getting used to going by bus, you will discover that it is actually not that bad.
Although a ride usually covers two or twenty stops, a bus ride costs RMB 2 in Chengdu. It is important to carry enough small money with you, because it is not usual to get back changes. Even though it is cheap, you can pay less and save some trouble if you get a RMB 25 bus card at your local pharmacy, Hongqi Chain Store or bus station terminal office—note that personal identification is needed. Explain to the worker that you want to purchase a bus card.
With this card, one bus drive costs only RMB 1 if you use a card based on frequency of your ride. If your card is based on the so called E-purse, you pay each time RMB 1.80 for the bus. If you require the use of subway, you can ask the cashier at the Hongqi Chain Store to activate the metro. After having your bus card, you can store money on your travel card. The fees for bus and metro have to be stored separately.
It is important to keep in mind that the money on the card does not overlap. For example, you charge 40 bus rides on the card, but you only used 20 during the month, the rest 20 will be invalid at the beginning of the next month and you have to recharge the card. Therefore, it is important to calculate the exact numbers of bus rides you will have to take.
After you have your own bus card, one swipe is only needed when you get on the bus at the front door. If you only manage to get on the bus at the back door, just ask the passengers to pass your card to the front and swipe it for you. With the bus card, you can transfer buses for fee if the travel time is within two hours.
Furthermore, it is to stress that you should keep an eye on your belongings while being on the bus. Generally, Chengdu is a safe place but most of the thefts are occurring on buses, at train stations or crowded large area, like the shopping street Chunxi Road.
Due to the fact that the place names are announced in Chinese, it is better to know the Chinese name of your destination. Even though there are announcements in English, they will sound like the following: “The next stop is Jinjiang Binguan (Jinjiang Hotel)”
小題1:Which of the following statements is true when taking the bus in Chengdu?
A．It’s always important to carry enough small money with you every day.
B．It only costs RMB 25 to get around in Chengdu by bus per month.
C．Personal identification is not essential when applying for a bus card for locals.
D．RMB 0.2 will be saved each time if you use E-purse rather than cash on the bus.
小題2:Why are the readers reminded to pay close attention to their personal possessions?
A．Because Chengdu is not a safe place.
B．Because some thieves like stealing things in crowded buses.
C．Because people can transfer buses for fee within two hours.
D．Because the bus card must be swiped at the front door.
小題3:Why does the author suggest the Chinese name of the destination be learnt?
A．Because it helps know clearly where to get off the bus.
B．Because it can prevent people from missing the bus they want to board.
C．Because the place names are merely announced in Chinese.
D．Because it prevents the passengers getting off at the next stop on time.
小題4:The author might write this passage specially for ________.
A．The local Chengdu people who are interested in traveling by bus
B．Regular bus riders in Chengdu who fails to manage their bus cards properly.
C．New foreigners in Chengdu who want to get around by bus.
D．Pedestrians in Chengdu who are considering choosing to take the bus.

In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren ”, John Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs ,which are independent of what others have , and relative needs ,which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (無止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market Priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
小題1:According to the passage, John Keynes believed that_______.
A．desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B．a(chǎn)bsolute needs come from our sense of superiority
C．relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D．a(chǎn)bsolute needs are stronger than relative needs
小題2:What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
A．They want to show their superiority.
B．They find specialty important to meals.
C．Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.
D．Their choice of dinner is
小題3:What does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Understanding.B．IncreaseC．DifferenceD．Study
小題4:The author of the passage argues that ______.
A．a(chǎn)bsolute needs have no limits
B．demands for quality are not insatiable
C．human desires influence ideas of quality
D．relative needs decide most of our spending
