When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, my only object was to earn
enough to feed my children. Today "The Body Shop" is an international company
rapidly growing all around the world. In the years since we began I have learned a lot.
Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, for I believe that we, as a
company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without
giving up what we really believe in.
It's not an ordinary business book, nor is it just about my life. 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 good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have
a feeling of family and to feel excited by the unexpected. I have always wanted the
people who work for "The Body Shop" to feel the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas of mine out into the world. 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 hope you do, too.

* Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. (1,25ms)
Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading
standards in schools. However, the link between television and printed books is not as
simple as that. In many cases, television actually encourages people to read ; for
example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up.
One study of this link examined six-year-old children who were viewing a special
series of 15-minute programs at school. The series was designed to encourage love of
books, as well as to develop the basic mechanical skills of reading. Each program is an
animated film of a children's book. The story is read aloud and certain key phrases
from the book appear on the screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it
is also highlighted on the TV screen.
One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children. If
anything prevented them from seeing a program, they were very disappointed. What's
more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts of the series were based
on.
The programs also gave the children more confidence when looking at these books.
As a result of their familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the
stories aloud to each other. On each occasion, the children showed great sympathy
when discussing a character in a book because they themselves had been moved when
watching the character on television.
36. What is the main idea of the book?
A. The simple link between television and books.
B. The ways of children reading books and watching TV
C. The advantage of books over television.
D. The influence of television on reading books.
37. When does television encourage people to read?

A. When there are no interesting programs on TV.
B. When children are watching an animated film on TV.
C. When a book appears on the screen.
D. When a book is made into a TV series.
38. How did children feel when viewing a special series of 15-minute program at
school?
A. They felt disappointed
B. They felt bored.
C. They felt excited
D. They felt confident.
39. What kind of film is each program?
A. A story film of a children's book.
B. An animated film of a children's book.
C. An educational film.
D. A documentary film of children's life.
40. What advantage did children have from this program?
A. They read books with more interest and confidence.
B. They became more sympathetic.
C. They made more friends.
D. They became more interested in watching TV.
