| It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan 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 $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn"t cover their startup 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 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" learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. "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 Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 1. 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 2. 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. 3. What can we learn about their first shop? A. It stood at an unfavorable place. B. It lowered the prices to poor management. C. It made no profits due to poor management. D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwich. | |||||||||||||

| A mother from Colorado who doctors said had died while giving birth to her son, has said it is a Christmas miracle that both she and the boy are alive. Tracey Hermanstorfer"s heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean (剖腹产术) section on Christmas Eve.However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again.Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived.Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing "good" following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital. The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned.Her husband,37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural (硬膜外麻醉) during the labour (分娩) but after closing her eyes, she "wasn"t waking up".

Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim since in most situations like this, " despite the best efforts of the team", the mother was often unable to be revived.In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was "completely lifeless". Mr Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency, "I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me." Dr Martin said she did not have a "great explanation" for why Mrs Hermanstorfer"s heartbeat returned."Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping, " she said.The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that. Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened.However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle.She said:"I got a second chance in life." 1.
