阅读理解     It was the summer of 1960. 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

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.

4. They decided to open a second store because they ________.
A. had enough money to do it
B. had succeeded in their business

阅读理解      "Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story!" Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me
expectantly.
     Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping. "Terrific," the director said, stepping up the stage from
the aisle(过道). "Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more?"
     The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play.
"Perfect," the director said. "Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren." A pang of sadness hit me.
If only I could read to my real grandchild!
     I had a granddaughter, but I"d never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a
relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a
grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the
years, I asked around town to try and find my son"s exwife(前妻), but it seemed that she didn"t want
to be found.
     I "d just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the
play.  At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of
the show arrived. The performance was great. "You all looked so natural up there," one of my friends
said.
     Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the
girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk.
"How"s my granddaughter?" I joked.
     "Fine!" she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.
     I wasn"t sure I heard the girl"s answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. "What"s
your mother"s name?"
    She told me, I was still in shock. "And what"s your father"s name?" I asked. She told me. It was my
son.
    She"d only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we"ve stayed
close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.

1. What was the author doing at the beginning of the story?
A. Telling a story.

2. Why did the author feel "A pang of sadness" at the words of the director?

It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step. "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa." They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?" "Am I rich? Pity, no!" I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Lady, are you rich? B. A story of Thanksgiving Day C. Don"t forget how rich you are D. Does cups and saucers match well? 2. The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________. A. she wanted to sell old papers to them B. she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party C. she showed great pity and care on them D. she had the same experience as them in the past 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy. B. The writer had thought she wasn"t rich because her supplies were not expensive. C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap. D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 4. The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________. A. show that she was a kindhearted lady B. remind her that she shouldn"t forget how rich she was C. leave room for readers to think about what being rich is D. prove that she had understood what meant being rich
She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age.After all she is reaching the "dangerous stage".These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother"s mind. One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn"t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and-there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. "Mum I"m back." "Yeah." "Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?" "Yes, Oh, that…Who"s that boy?" The daughter was stunned for a moment. "Ah. It"s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I"m going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early." Next morning when the mother went to the daughter"s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes" hesitation she eventually opened it to the entry of the night before. It read: Mum, it"s love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn"t. Holding the diary, the mother fell into thought.
