51、噴導閽騁艷搗靨驄鍵。Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.鑣鴿奪圓鯢齙慫餞離龐。Federal Express is a company that specializes in rapid overnight delivery of high-priority packages. The first company of its type, Federal Express was founded by the youthful Fred Smith in 1971, when he was only 28 years old

52、. Smith had actually developed the idea for the rapid delivery service in a term paper for an economics class when he was a student at YaleUniversity. The term paper reputedly received a less-than-stellar grade because of the infeasibility of the project that Smith had outlined. The model that Smith

53、 proposed had never been tried; it was a model that was efficient to operate but at the same time was very difficult to institute. 欖閾團皺鵬緦壽驏頦蘊。Smith achieved efficiency in his model by designing a system that was separate from the passenger system and could, therefore, focus on how to deliver package

54、s most efficiently. His strategy was to have his own planes so that he could create his own schedules and to ship all packages through the centralized hub city of Memphis, a set-up which resembles the spokes on the wheel of a bicycle. With this combination of his own planes and hub set-up, he could

55、get packages anywhere in the United States overnight. 遜輸吳貝義鰈國鳩猶騸。What made Smiths idea difficult to institute was the fact that the entire system had to be created before the company could begin operations. He needed a fleet of aircraft to collect packages from airports every night and deliver them

56、to Memphis, where they were immediately sorted and flown out to their new destinations; he needed a fleet of trucks to deliver packages to and from the various airports; he needed facilities and trained staff all in place to handle the operation. Smith had a $4 million inheritance from his father, a

57、nd he managed to raise an additional 91 million dollars from venture capitalists to get the company operating. 幘覘匱駭儺紅鹵齡鐮瀉。Questions:56.

Smith submitted it through a delivery service. B. It was written by a student of Smiths. C. The grade was not quite satisfactory. D. The
