Buck asked DeLuca about
24、 his plans for the future. “Im 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 $10
25、00. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial c
26、ontrols.” 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. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping th
27、e 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 didin 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
28、 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 wasnt necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped
29、 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.28. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in ord
30、er to _.A. support his familyB. pay for his college educationC. help his partner expand businessD. do some research29. What can we learn about their first shop?A.

31、rol over the quality of sandwiches.30. They decided to open a second store because they _.A. had enough money to do itB. had succeeded in their businessC. wished to meet the increasing demand of customersD. wanted to make believe that they were successful31. What contribute most to their success acc
32、ording to the author?A. Learning by trial and error.B. Making friends with suppliers.C. Finding a good partner.D. Opening chain stores.DAlmost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many p
33、eople in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell thei
34、r products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples life. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an u
35、nsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It i
36、s not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short
37、time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no anxiety.32. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1?A. The exer
38、cise of rights is a luxury. B. The practice of choice is difficult.C. The right of choice is given but at a price. D. Choice and right exist at the same time.33. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety? A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product. B. People are likely to
39、find themselves overcome by business persuasion. C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items. D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.34. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove _.A. advanced products meet the needs of peop
40、le B. products of the latest design flood the market C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods need to be replaced often 35. What is the passage mainly about?A. The variety of choices in modern society. B. The opinions on peoples right in different countries.C. The problem a
41、bout the availability of everyday goods.D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 其中有两项为多余选项。(注意:本题36-40答案请涂在答题卡71-75处, 下一题起4170对应涂在答题卡4170处)Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it.

Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. Still others keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is call
43、ed repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases hormones (荷尔蒙) which speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 37 Some doctor
44、s say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.

45、mit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with ang

Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.D. Anger may cause you a cancer.E. Do not express your ang
