Ⅱ.阅读理解

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 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 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' learn­as­you­go approach turned out to be their greatest strength.Every Friday，DeLuca would drive around and hand­deliver 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 multimillion­dollar restaurant chain.

When it comes to the ACT (American College Test) vs the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test)，both exams are widely accepted by US colleges.It often leads students to ask：Which test should I take？The answer to that question lies in understanding the differences between the two tests.

Both college admissions exams are wildly popular.In the class of 2019，a reported 2.2 million test­takers completed the SAT while 1.8 million students took the ACT.It is unclear how many students took both，but experts say it is common practice for a test­taker to deal with both exams.“More and more students in the last 5 to 10 years are taking both，”says Joe Korfmacher，director of an admissions consulting company.But despite this，the tests vary in structure and timing as well as the content matter and scoring.

Students hoping to find the easier testing option are out of luck.These are high­stakes(高风险的) tests；neither of them is going to be easy.To help students make their decision，experts suggest they begin with a practice test and see which exam is best suited for them.The two exams may have appeal to different types of students.Experts advise that students with a strong English background may choose the ACT，which puts more emphasis on verbal skills.But for students who are strong in math，the SAT may reflect that much better.

The SAT costs $49.50 for the test only and $64.50 if the optional essay is included.The ACT costs $52 for only the exam and $68 if the optional writing test is included.Additional fees may apply for other options，such as late registration.

Regardless of which test students decide to take，the idea behind both exams is similar：to demonstrate college readiness.To help students be successful，experts offer strategic test­prep tips.Some are simple，such as bringing a snack on the test day and taking breaks when offered.Others require much more time and deliberation(从容) on the part of the student，such as identifying and working on weak spots in testing.

The future focus for me is to get involved in badminton clubs，but I am also happy to focus on my studies with year 12 approaching.  5   I am also proud to honor my grandpa's legacy by loving the game of badminton.
