40、 call the National Passport Information Center or visit a Passport AgencyCIt was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, You s
41、hould 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 couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in anot
42、her $1000. But business didnt go smoothly as they expected.

DeLuca was managing the store and going
43、 to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York.

44、essful, we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.

45、s. “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

51、onomy will rely heavily on knowledge workers. At present, this term is widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning, such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants and chemical engineers. But the most striking growth will be in “knowledge technologists”: compu
52、ter technicians, software designers, analysts in clinical labs, manufacturing technologists. These people are as much manual(体力) workers as they are knowledge workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands than with their brains, but their manual work is based on a large
53、 amount of theoretical knowledge which can be acquired only through formal education, not through an apprenticeship(学徒期).
