PART C – READING: (2points) I – Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question: (1point) 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 I 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 a normal 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 well. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of family and to fell 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 on mine out into the world, 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 hope you do, too. 31 – What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text?
