A
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 co llege, but I need a wa y 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 p hysicist 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 di d—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.
61. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to __________.

Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?
To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(视觉影像)of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.
Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?
Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted(替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of ―something permanence‖, while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.
68. What did Bower use in his experiment?
A. A chair
B. A screen
C. A film
D. A box
69. The passage is mainly about __________.
A. babies‘ sense of sight
B. effects of experiments on babies
C. babies‘ understanding of objects
D. different tests on babies‘ feelings
70. In Paragraph 3, ―object permanence‖ means that when out of sight, an object __________.
A. still exists
B. keeps its shape
C. still stays solid
D. is beyond reach
D
Six years ago, a Miami woman walking through the hall of an office building casually noticed two men standing together. Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building. Police investigators determined that the woman was the only witness who had seen the two suspects, and could possibly describe them. In an interview with police, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear.
Several days later, psychologist Ronald P. Fisher was brought in to get a more complete description from the woman. Fisher‘s interview produced a breakthrough—the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects. She then recalled several details about his appearances. This information gave police important leads that enabled them to arrest the suspects and close the case.
Police investigators found the help from Fisher because of his rich knowledge in conducting the so-called cognitive (认知的) interview, a kind of memory-rebuilding process. In its original form, the cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events, reporting everything that comes to mind about those events no matter how broken or unconnected, retelling events in kinds of time orders, beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward, and accepting different views while recalling events.
Usually, an interviewer begins the cognitive approach by encouraging the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else‘s questions. The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions. The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different aspects.
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they get nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same.
71. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To give an description of a murder case in an office.
B. To explain why Fisher was invited to a police interview.
C. To describe how cognitive method helps the woman to recall.
D. To give the readers an idea of cognitive interview.
72. The cognitive interview helped the woman to recall more by __________.
A. strengthening her memory
B. giving her encouragement
C. rebuilding her memory
D. giving her more time
73. It can be inferred from the passage that in a cognitive interview, the interviewer mainly plays a
__________ role.
A. directing
B. questioning
C. disappointing
D. interrupting
74. What is the key point of the cognitive interview?
A. The interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time.
B. The witness is encouraged to take an active role in recalling information.
C. The interview should take place outside the police station.
D. The witness should recall details at the scene of the event.
75. Police trained in the cognitive interview method can ___________.
A. get more information from the witness than before
B. decrease the error rate
C. solve the cases more quickly
D. use the method more skillfully than the psychologists

Imagine living in a country torn by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move — not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.
People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities.
Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees. Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought.
Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.
Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America‘s shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.
Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life.
The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canada. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America‘s Atlantic Coast.
In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colonies. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.
Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
Today, the U.S. government keeps the number of immigrants into the country each year in check. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if

Film or book, which do you prefer ?
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what's more, I am able to better understand the author's ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
