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.(08山东卷)

Do’s and Don’ts in Whale(鲸)Watching

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只)operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.

●　　 Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.

●　　 Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.

●　　 Keep noise levels down-no horns, whistles or racing of engines.

●　　 Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.

●　　 Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.

●　　 Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.

●　　 Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.

●　　 Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales.

●　　 When whales are travelling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.

●　　 Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.

●　　 If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.

●　　 Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines. (08宁夏卷)

第61天　　　　　　　　　　 A　　

　　　　 Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄人) group.

　　　　 The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives - at home and particularly in the school environment(环境) - means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.

　　　　 They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.

　　　　 It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems - somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
