My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job,when I was six years old,was  1  the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young,so he taught me  2  to do it efficiently(有效地),telling me to  3  to Re-shine the shoes if the customer wasn’t  4  .

And full of pride,I walked into my parents’ restaurant,but the  14  thing Dad said was,“How about your  15  up tonight?” I couldn’t  16  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t   17  as far as Dad was concerned,I was just  18   member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把). Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a  19  is above all. It has nothing to do with  20  that team is involved in a family restaurant or the US Army.
