a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family,
but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and
felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends
if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was.
Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We
walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial
expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my
father, who seemed so friendly and interesting be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own
childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment.
After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing. I"m delighted with my new
friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He did not love his children.

| 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
