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.

听力原文： The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned that hundreds of thousands of Burmese lives could be at risk unless the military government removes ail restrictions on foreign aid following Cyclone Nargis a week ago. The UN has appealed for almost $200 million in aid. The Burmese ambassador to the UN said his country would accept help from any quarter. His government has said that it is not ready to allow in foreign search and rescue teams. But the UN’s Head of Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes said he believed Burma could become more flexible after the constitutional referendum.
"The pressure on them from everyone, from us of course, but also from many states around the world, including their friends in ASEAN, in China and India, they are all saying please be more open because there is no time to lose to get the aid in and I hope they will begin to listen." Holmes said.
Polling in the referendum is now underway. In his BBC interview, Mr. Holmes described as naive suggestions that the UN and the aid organizations could impose help on Burma without the agreement of the government. He said air-dropping supplies would be very much a last resort.
General Ban Ki-moon is urging the Burmese government to
A．hold the constitutional referendum.
B．allow in foreign search and rescue teams.
C．accept international aid right away.
D．adopt John Holmes’suggestions.
I am most interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them.Some
of the remarkable people I&39;v met exited only in writer&39;s imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then again, in my imagination.I have found in books new friend, new society and new words.
If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who
as in how. Who in the books inculdes everybody from science-fiction
superman two hunreds years in the future all the way back to the first figure in history. How covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and the ways of teaching manners to childers.
"You appear to be astonished," Holmes said, smiling at my expression. "Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."
"But the Solar System!" I protested.
"What the deuce is it to me？" he interrupted impatiently,
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was "The Book of Life," and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man's inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
"From a drop of water," said the writer, "a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it."
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.
