M:Susan,what should we do this weekend? Should we take the kids camping?

W:That sounds fun.It’s a good way to stay close to nature.

M:Can you check the weather for this weekend,please?

W:Sure.It’s going to be warm and clear.

M:That’s perfect for camping.We can go fishing too.

W:But the kids and I have no patience to stay still there.It’s hard for us to stay in the same place for a long time.

M:True.We’d better think of another choice just in case.

W:Yeah.How about going to the beach?

M:That would be fun too.

W:Let me try to make a booking for camping first.

W:That’s amazing.Is Mick on holiday?

M:No,he just went away for two days because he had to come home on Monday to do a music exam.He did a sailing course at Lake Jarvis.

W:It sure is crowded here.You can tell school is out!

M:Oh,it’s not just like this during school holidays.We’re busy all year round.

W:Really? I thought only children wanted to visit Disneyland.

M:You’d be surprised.It’s an international tourist attraction.

W:Yeah,I guess it’s always vacation time somewhere in the world.You must hate working here.Standing in that costume under the hot sun all day… Aren’t you tired by the end of the day?

M:I’m used to it,I guess.I do enjoy it more in the spring and fall.Winter is the worst.

W:Why do you keep doing it?

M:It’s fun.I stay in shape and make people happy.

W:Do the kids really believe you’re Mickey Mouse?

M:The little ones do.Children have to believe in something.

W:I see.But don’t you ever think about finding another job?

M:Someday.I’ll finish college in two years,and then I’ll probably work at my dad’s bank.

W:Sounds like a good plan.Well,my kids are coming back from their ride.It was nice talking to you.

　　Gucci,one of the most famous fashion houses in the world,was started in Italy in 1921 by a man named Guccio Gucci,a designer who made leather bags and suitcases.Guccio had a small shop in Florence,which was the beginning of the Gucci family business.By 1953 Guccio’s four sons,Aldo,Ugo,Vasco,and Rodolfo,were all working for the company.

When Guccio died in 1953,his eldest son Aldo became the head of Gucci and took the Gucci business to America,while Rodolfo managed the Italian side of the business.

After Aldo Gucci died in 1990,his nephew,Maurizio,became the head of Gucci.Unfortunately,Maurizio wasn’t a very good businessman and in 1991 the company lost $60 million.This was the worst year in Gucci’s history.Gucci’s products are sill sold all over the world,but there are no members of the Gucci family in the successful company we know today.
