第2题
Brian Fraser: Not at the start. I set up my first sandwich shop in Leeds in 1994. That went well. Unfortunately, though, just before the opening of my second shop, there was a fire in the empty building. So I had to start again and find new premises for it. It's doing as well as the first one now, though.
Interviewer: Why do you think you have been so successful？
Brian Fraser: There's a high demand for sandwiches made from fresh ingredients, especially when they're served in a relaxed and friendly place. Although people have a bit less time nowadays, they're still happy to pay more for something really good.
Interviewer: Of course some people take your sandwiches straight back to their desks. Is that a growing trend？
Brian Fraser: Quite the opposite! It used to be true, but now, because many offices ban smoking completely, we find a lot of people stay at our tables and chat over a cigarette after their sandwich. No one wants to stand outside smoking, especially in winter, and because we're near their offices, people often come in twice a day.
Interviewer: So how long is the average lunch break nowadays？
Brian Fraser: It's nowhere near an hour, of course. I'm told it's slightly more than 30 minutes, I can't remember the exact figure, but well under forty minutes.
Interviewer: Designer Sandwiches are the perfect choice, then.., if you're living in Leeds! Now Geraldine, how did you start your own business？
Geraldine Holmes: Well, it was by accident, really. I planned to train as a journalist, but I got an office job to earn some money first. There were no places to buy a cheap snack near where I worked. My colleagues used to complain about this. So I thought there's an excellent idea here and I made a start immediately.
Interviewer: And how did you finance the business when you started？
Geraldine Holmes: Well, you have to understand that I began in a very small way! So I really didn't need a loan from the. bank. I used to fill a basket with about forty sandwiches, sell them in local offices, and, when the basket was empty, make some more. The little money I'd saved bought the first ingredients, and after that, I always had cash coming in, so there was no need for my parents to help either. Interviewer: Very low risk! Was it difficult to develop the business though？ Geraldine Holmes: Yes and no. I made a reasonable profit from the start, so I was able to afford to rent a small place. I sold my sandwiches there, but also continued to supply the many customers I already had. The problem was, I had to close the premises while I delivered to their various offices. Interviewer: So then you employed Jack Roberts, now your business partner, to help you？ Geraldine Holmes: Employ, no! I couldn't afford wages. Jack had a very good job then, though he hated it. When I asked him to join the business, he seemed interested. Fortunately for me, he had two weeks off work at the time, so he agreed to take over the deliveries temporarily. Well, he enjoyed it so much, he decided to give up his proper job and take a risk with me.
Interviewer: And from then on, success was guaranteed! Geraldine Holmes, Brian Fraser, thank you for sharing your early careers with us.

In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk.
As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.
It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.
It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.
"Well, "my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."
"Did what？" I asked, utterly confused.
"Took the chair."
Actually, since I'd walked. through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.
Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A．men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk
B．women are becoming more capable than before
C．in women's liberation men are also liberated
D．it's safe to break rules of social behaviour
