My parents ran 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   36  the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me  37  to do it well, telling me to  38  to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t  39 .

I was proud of working in the restaurant   40  I was also working for the good of the family. But my father   41  said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I   42  to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the  43 . I was    44  paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he  45   give me $10 a week. He said, “OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring in your friends  46  free soft drinks?” He   47  the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.

I remember returning to Seattle after being  48  in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted(升职) to Captain at that time. And full of pride, I walked into my parents’ restaurant, but the   49  thing Dad said was, “How about your   50  up tonight?” I couldn’t  51  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But   52  didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just  53  member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉献) to a  54  is above all. It has nothing to do with  55  that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.
