18．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 recalled saying．"Buck said‘you should open a sandwich shop．'"
That afternoon，they agreed to be partners．And they set a goal：to open 32stores 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 start-up 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 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 said．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 added．
DeLuca ended up founding Subway sandwich，the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain．

28．DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order toB．
A．support his family                
B．pay for his college education
C．help his partner expand business     
D．do some research

B．He was a professor of business administration．
C．He was studying at the University of Bridgeport．
D．He rented a storefront for DeLuca．
30．What can we learn about their first shop？C
A．It was located in an unfavorable place．
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．

6．A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity （肥胖） in children．
Connected to a small dining set，consisting of scales and a plate，a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop．
"In very fat people，hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop   functioning．But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again，"says Dr．Julian Hamilton-Shield，the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials．
The computer，called a Mandometer，records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat．As the food is leaving the plate，a curve （曲线） is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly．
"Children with weight problems often eat too quickly．We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down．It's a bit like retraining．"says Hamilton-Shield．
Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children．About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight．But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children．
The Mandometer was developed in Sweden，but at present is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol，with﹩224，400in funds from BUPA-a global health and care organization．The system could be on the market in two years time．At first，it would be managed by medical clinics．

13．Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people's home，if they agree to spend time socialising with the elderly residents．
The city council is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours，at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district．In exchange，they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen，bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month．
Currently only three flats are available．but the scheme is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital．Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month，depending on the area，one local university advises．
Those who apply don't need any specific care experience．"There are staff to look after the elderly．"project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle．"We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life，who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents．"
More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week，and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media．"Great project，hopefully it will spread to other areas，"writes one person on Facebook，while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together．
But some wish it was open to more people，with one user saying："It's a shame the flats are so small．It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their neighbour．"And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age，writing："Shame I'm too old for this-I would have surely applied．"
24．One can probably get the cheap apartment if heC．
A．reaches the age of 25               
B．has financial problems
C．promises to accompany the elderly   
D．agrees to share it  
25．Why is the new rent scheme accepted？A
A．It can benefit both young and old．   
B．It doesn't need any professional training．
C．The flats are well-equipped．          
D．Big apartments are in short supply．
26．What does the underlined sentence suggest？C
A．He doesn't want to grow up．
B．He has a chance to apply again．
C．He disapproves of the age limit．
D．He applies for the flat without hesitation．
27．What would be the best title of the text？A
A．Young Finns offered cheap flats at care home
B．New apartments designed for the elderly
C．A new approach to caring for the old
D．A good chance for the needy families．
3．我正感到绝望几近放弃的时候，一艘海船发现了我．
I'd just aboutgivenmyselfup for lostwhen I wasspotted by a ship．
10．There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier："Paper or plastic？"Well，which type of bag would you choose？
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment，it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder．They are made from a renewable source，break down easily，burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled．However，the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones．How can this be true？
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production．And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher．Besides，the influence on forests is very serious．It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags，which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly．In terms of recycling，the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly   discarded．Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper．
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones，plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two．In Ireland，for example，a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags．People have to pay 22cents for every plastic bag，and as a result，their use has dropped quickly．
There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags．However，we don't seem to be doing that at present．That may be because they fall apart quickly．If so，cloth bags are a better choice，but still，their production also has a bad influence on the environment．So what to do？How should we answer the question of"Paper or plastic？"It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question："What can I do to help the environment？"

24．The questions in Paragraph 1are used toC．
A．express the author's doubts
B．tell readers how to save money
C．introduce points for discussion
D．show the kindness of the cashier
25．Compared with plastic bags，paper bagsA．
A．need more water to produce
B．require less energy to recycle
C．take more time to break down
D．have less influence on forests
26．The underlined word"discarded"in Paragraph 3probably means"B"．
A．shared            B．given up
C．discussed         D．put forward
27．Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask？D
A．Paper or cloth？
B．Paper or plastic？
C．A small bag or big one？
D．A new bag or your own one？

8．How I Turned to Be Optimistic（乐观的）
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's
House，and my mother said that we （25）would leave/be leaving/were leaving （leave） for America soon．We were on the bus then．I
was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me．I remember I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to （26）which I listened every morning．
I do not remember myself （27）crying （cry） for this reason again．In fact I think I cried verylittle when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives．When we were leaving I thought aboutall the places I was going to see．The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then．
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but （28）theidea did not come to me at once．For the first two years in New York I was really lost．I did not quite know what I was or what I should be．Mother remarried，and things became even （29）more complex       （complex） for me．Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each orher．However，my responsibilities in the family increased a lot since my English vas superior （30）to anyone else's at home．I translated at interviews with immigration officers，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives．
From my experiences，I believe that my life will turn out all right （31）even though/ifit is not that easy．
