         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.

After about half an hour, most houses had lost their pleasing coolness and people began to come outdoors in search for a gentle breeze. Before long, everyone was sharing all kinds of soft drinks and iced tea or coffee. Food began to appear, someone brought some small tables, and a natural block party developed.

    It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand ever your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.
    Fundraising(自筹资金) is a great way to help children learn social skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask them for their money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride（从容处理）, and that is a learning lesson as well.
    Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned in to the school. However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.
    Fundraising helps improve their schools. It is the child’s school. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help in making it a better place? When one of our local schools lacked funding for sports, the students and parents joined hands to raise that money needed. When they succeeded, they felt they accomplished something important.
    Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child. Most fundraising is done for individual classes and clubs. The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.
    In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.
