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   31   the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me  32   to do it well, telling me to  33   to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t  34  .
I was proud of working in the restaurant   35  I was also working for the good of the family. But my father   36   said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I   37   to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the  38  . I was    39   paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he  40   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  41   free soft drinks?” He   42   the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being  43   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   44   thing Dad said was, “How about your   45   up tonight?” I couldn’t  46   my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But   47  didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just  48   member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉献) to a  49   is above all. It has nothing to do with  50   that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.
