On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The tradition began after breakfast when Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I’ll take care of the dishes!” With that my mother disppeared into the folds to the Sunday paper.Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went apron.For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads like 揑 Had a Hat When I Came In?and
揥ho Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy’ll’s Chowder?”od as we walked home from church together.
“Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words:The birds and the bees? A new bike? A parttime job?on responsibilities.”
“Responsibilities?” I asked. Boss my baby
brothers?
“Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can
work the crossword puzzle together.”
“The dishes!”?” ears.
I didn’t taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a cheerful mood and was
describing a wonderful baseball game he saw last night.
Suddenly, everything grew quiet.
My sister bagan to clear the table.My brother was
finishing the last of the egg from his plate. And then that ancient family tradition that had filled
so many Sunday mornings came to an end.
My father announced: “Let’s go read the paper,
Honey.”
揂ren抰 you doing the dishes h?” My mother asked in puzzlement.ne in my class.
I could benchpress my weight. Ask me to run through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the
roller coaster backward. These things I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was
nothing left but to refuse.
People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into
the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of
his shirt—ready to relax. In his right hand was the old apron.
揑 want y ou to have this, Tommy. It抣l keep your clothes from getting wet.?And before I
could mount a protest, he had put the thing on me. 揟hanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate
this.?With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at
oldthe plastic. It had seen
better days. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. The dark angel flew off. Soon I was
singing about Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I
knew the kind of man I wanted to be.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book璴over ors merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.
Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dustjacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop,no assistant will approach you with the unavoidable greeting:“Can I help you?”You needn’t buy anything you don’t want.In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, sistant_should_retire_considerately_and_look_as_if_he_is_not_interested_in_selling_a_single_book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest bestselling novel and perhaps a book about brassrubbing—something that had only uncertainly interested you up till then.This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.This sort of thing can be very dangerous.Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste
a great deal of time wandering from section to section.
Book璼ellers must be hboth longsuffering and tolerant. There is a story which well explains this. A medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy.He
couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in the bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time.One day, however, he was dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and was about to
leave when he noticed the owner of the shop signaling to him. Expecting to be told off, he went
towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was put away in a corner,“I
put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it,” he said, and left the student to continue his
reading.
7.You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ________.According to the text, in a good bookshop ________.e learned from the text that an assistant should offer you help ________.10.The author implies that it is very easy to enter a bookshop and buy ________.cinates you
11.The textbook the medical student was interested in was tucked away in a corner
________.as tempted to buy it
D.because it was a rare and expensive book
