clinic in Hawaii.My kids had gone to live on the mainland,and I was alone.Then they asked me to have
a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade
Center. Seeing it falling down,I said to my kids:"I"m going to Afghanistan."And a few weeks later,
International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care.
In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs,we were eventually serving
27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule.Tired and nervous,I gradually had a sense of
achievement, a sense of purpose,and my depression went away.
In the years to follow,I went to Indonesia after the tsunami(海啸),Pakistan after the earthquakes,
Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs.Each time after disasters one after
another, hundreds of people were killed,wounded and many more had to flee.We once set up movable
clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees,_and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally.Flu broke out,
one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire.Water and food were also
serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself.

end of her life,she went unconscious.I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would
visit and the exciting adventures we would have.

words would be.But I know that she is still with me.

D. donation | | 阅读理解 | It was the summer of 1965. 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 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 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 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. 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" 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 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 Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain.
1. 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
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.
C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D. He rented a storefront for Deluca.
3. What can we learn about their first shop?
A. It stood at an unfavorable place.
B. It lowered the prices to poor management.
C. It made no profits due to poor management.
D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwich. | 最新试题
