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 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 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 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 multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.

Ⅱ.七选五
Clara Barton,founder of the American Red Cross,gained worldwide honor for her dedication to easing human suffering and earned the nickname “Angel of the Battlefield”.
Barton was born into a liberal(思想开明的)free thinking family in 1821.Her elder brothers and sisters happily tutored her in math and reading,so when she entered school at three years old,she could read and spell three-syllable words. 1
Concerned about Barton’s difficulty in making friends,her parents sent her to a boarding school,hoping it would make her more comfortable with her peers. 2 Barton lost her appetite and cried constantly.After only one term,she had to be brought home.Then,Barton stayed out of school to nurse her older brother through a serious injury and also volunteered to care for poor families during a smallpox(天花)outbreak.
In 1861,the Civil War broke out.The sight of wounded soldiers touched Barton deeply.She began to collect and distribute food,bandages,medicines,and other supplies for the Union army.
3 There,with little concern for her own safety,she cooked meals,assisted surgeons,and comforted wounded soldiers.
Eventually,because of working too hard,Barton collapsed,ill with typhoid fever(伤寒). 4 It was there that she learned of an organization based in Switzerland,called the International Red Cross,whose work mirrored her own.
Shortly after Barton arrived back home in 1873,her sister died. 5 When recuperating at a health facility in New York,she began planning for the establishment of an American wing of the International Red Cross.Although at first the government resisted,her efforts finally paid off.The American Red Cross was officially organized on May 21,1881.Her influence lives on today in the work of the organization she founded.
A.Barton fell into a deep depression.
B.Unfortunately,it had the opposite effect.
C.Many people felt sorry for the loss of her sister and her own health.
D.Barton risked her life to transport wagonloads of supplies to the front lines.
E.When she recovered,her doctors prescribed a long,restful trip to Europe.

G.She easily kept up with the older children academically but did not fit in socially.

Ⅲ.One possible version:
Chinese knot is one of the most typical traditional folk arts of China.It has a long history which can date back to the Tang and Song Dynasties.In China,people’s purpose of making knot is to mean good luck,happiness,love and so on,so those knots are often used to express good wishes.
There are many types of Chinese knots whose elegant patterns often leave people amazed.Some used for decorations are often seen on walls of living rooms to bring good luck.Fix your eyes on cars and you can also find knots which are related to prayer for safety.If used on a wedding,they are meant to promise a long and sweet marriage.In some ways,Chinese knot is a symbol of beauty and wisdom.
In recent years,many foreigners have also begun to take interest in Chinese knots.Let’s hope that with our efforts we can make it a better-known form of art.
