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. 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 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.
48．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
49．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.
50．What can we learn about their first shop?
A．It stood at an unfavorable palce.
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
51．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
52．What contribute most to their success according to the author?
A．Learning by trial and error.  B．Making friends with suppliers.
C．Finding a good partner.       D．Opening chain stores.

By the time a student starts to apply (申請) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非學業(yè)的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.
1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (數(shù)量). Admissions (錄取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (組織) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉獻) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (頭銜) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (參與) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.
3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申請) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特別地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否則) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.
小題1:Who was the article written for?
A．US college students hoping to study in China.
B．Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.
C．Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.
D．Teenagers hoping to study in the US.
小題2:The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A．made clearB．something unchangeable
C．become obviousD．a(chǎn)t the right level(水平)
小題3:The author’s suggestion is to ______.
A．try as many different organizations as possible
B．start planning for college at the beginning of high school
C．make everything in an application consistent
D．put non-academic tasks before academic tasks
小題4:According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.
B．It’s already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.
C．It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.
D．Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.
Editor
小題1:The letters are from________.
A book      B newspaper   C poster     D advertisement
小題2:Which of the following does the editor advise Tuan Yan NOT to do?
A Find a time to see Miss Mao    B Have a short chat with Miss Mao
C Tell Miss Mao she likes her     D Keep quiet about the thing

We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis, which means " putting together with light. " A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small a-mounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. Covered up by the green chlorophyll, we just can't see them in summer.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.
It is the combination of all these things that make the beautiful colors we enjoy in the fall.
小題1:The writer asked two questions in the beginning in order to        .
A．persuade readers to believe something
B．introduce the topic of the passage
C．get the readers excited
D．offer something to think over
小題2: Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A．Trees don't change colours with seasons.
B．Trees can still perform photosynthesis well in winter.
C．Trees have colours like yellow and orange even in summer.
D．Trees don't need food in winter.
小題3:Photosynthesis is a way that ___________________________.
A．plants change water and carbon dioxide into sugar
B．plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar with the help of sunlight
C．plants use glucose as food for energy and growing
D．chlorophyll is a great help
小題4: Which is the best title for this passage?
A．Colorful trees in autumnB．Mysteries of tree colors
C．Do you enjoy tree colors?D．Wonderful colors in autumn

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life．
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling．The author, W．H．Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing．In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself．The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees．Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text．I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all．
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history．He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透徹地) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history．Well, he was a history teacher — if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across．To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts．As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind．Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics．
My other comment is that the text aged．The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s — none of the references(參考文獻)seem newer than the late 1950s．As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age．
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion．I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student．
小題1:According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________．
A．gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B．understand the meaning between the lines
C．express ideas based on what one has read
D．get information and keep it alive in memory
小題2:The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________．
A．requires great effortsB．demands real passion
C．is less natural than learning mathsD．is as natural as learning a language
小題3:What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?
A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory．
B．There is too much discussion on studying science．
C．The style is too serious．
D．It lacks new information．
小題4:This passage can be classified as________．
A．a(chǎn)n advertisementB．a(chǎn) book review
C．a(chǎn) feature story D．a(chǎn) news report

       “Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled .
My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!”
Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫畫書) from under his shirt. 
“Oh, Mr. Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs. Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go.
“It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile.
“Oh no,” Mrs. Diaz said. “Let me pay right now ...” She dug in her purse. “How much?”
“Three seventy-five.”
Mrs. Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.
“It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said.
“No,” Mrs. Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.”
I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought.
I had an idea.
“What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me.
I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.”
“Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs. Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!”  
“Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.
As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) his tongue at me.
Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now. 
小題1: Where did the story most probably take place? 
A．In a classroom.B．In a supermarket.C．At a bookstore.D．At a library.
小題2: By saying “but Ted wouldn’t let go” in Paragraph 4, the author means Ted ______.
A．took the book by mistakeB．wanted to keep the book
C．didn’t want to go homeD．didn’t think he was wrong

A．didn’t think her son stole the book
B．had been out of work for a long time
C．forgot to take money with her that day
D．couldn’t afford to pay for the book
小題4: In the last paragraph, what does the author mainly tell?

C．He liked Ted very much.D．Ted was a naughty boy.

When you enter a supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket with your food in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk between the shelves. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The department selling milk and milk products such as butter and milk powder is called the dairy department. Many customers like milk that has only a little butter fat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says “1 percent fat” on the jar. The second says “99 percent fat free”, the third says “Low fat” in big letters and “1%”in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. However, in this store the three jars of milk cost three different amounts of money. Maybe the customers will buy the milk that costs the most.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very pleasing. It all says “Buy me!” to the customers. The expensive meat says “Buy me” as you walk by. The expensive milk jar says “Buy me! I have less fat.”
77. The manager of the supermarket knows______.
