When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976,what I wanted to do was to m 1 enough money to feed my children. Today " Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began,I have 1 2 a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book,because I believe that we,as a company,have something worth saying about how to r 3 a successful business without g 4 up what you really believe in.

It's not an o 5 business book. It is not just about my life,e 6 . The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun,a business can be run with love and it can do well. In business,as in life,I n 7 to enjoy myself,to have a feeling of my family and to feel e 8 by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for "Body Shop" to f 9 the same way.

Now this book sends these ideas out into the world,and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits to our "family"，no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I h 10 you do,too.

Walking home from school one day,I saw Dan,a kid from my school,on the other side of the road. I said to myself, "He must be a real nerd," as he was carrying a lot of books. As I continued walking,I saw a group of kids run into Dan,knocking his books out of his arms and pushing him so hard that he fell down. So I ran over to help him.

On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron (围裙) .After breakfast he always announced, "Go ahead everyone. I'll wash the dishes!" For the next hour Dad did the dishes,singing songs like /Had a Hat When I Came In.

I suppose it was strange for a boy's father to wear an apron. It was the last Sunday in August. My father seemed happy as we walked home from the supermarket together.

"Tommy," he said, "there comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities (责任) .Starting today. I want you to wash the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can read the newspaper."

"Wash the dishes?！"

"Anything wrong with doing the dishes,son?"

I started to say something about a man's job or a woman's work,but I knew quickly that my protests (抗议) would be of no use.

I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed excited as he talked about a soccer game on TV and didn't notice me at all.

Suddenly,everthing grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was eating the last of the egg on his plate. And then my father said to my mother, "Let's go and read the paper,dear."

So this was what my life had come to. I could learn Latin well,I could be good at playing baseball,I could do anything,but I could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.

My father came back into the kitchen,and in his right hand was the old apron.

"I want you to have this,Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet. " And before I could say a word,he had put the thing on me. "Thanks,Son."

I looked down at the apron. It had seen better days. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about I Had a Hat When I Came In. The words came out of nowhere. And I knew the kind of man I wanted to be.

( ) 6. We learn from the reading the father regarded doing housework as a person's A. interest B. responsibility C. task D. entertainment

We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day,even after he entered a nursing home. As years went on,these celebrations had double meanings to us―a traditional birthday party for Dad,thanking him for all that he had done for us in our lives. When we knew it might be his last birthday,the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home.

Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. But at this special moment,I announced it was now Dad's turn to listen to stories for a change. I asked everyone to tell Dad why he loved him. The room became still. Then one after another,people told stories from their hearts,while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People brought kinds of stories back to our minds―stories about when they were little,stories about when Dad was young,and stories that shared family happiness.

The stories went on one after another. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many people in his life,here was our chance to celebrate him. A few months later,at Dad's memorial service,we more fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those are the stories people usually tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories,full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life,and we had told them through laughter,accompanied (伴随) by hugs and joys. He had them in his mind during his last days and months.

Words do matter,and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly to the ones we love. That's the way to give back love and our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.
