A. Is there life on Mars? Many people have wondered (66).....thisquestion. Some writers of science-fiction think of people from Mars as little green creatures. Others (67).......'Martians' as monsters with many eyes. (68).......studying this planet, astronomers have found that life may be possible on Mars. The first (69).......of this is that Mars has seasons, just like Earth. In (70).....words, Earth's seasons, such as spring or summer, occur on Mars too. Because these seasons exist, it may be possible for vegetation and other higher life (71)......to be found on Mars.
 Astronomers also think that perhaps a small (72).....of water vapour could be found on Mars. In 1887, an Italian astronomer, Giovanni Schiaparelli, discovered markings on Mars' surface. These markings looked like canals. This finding (73).......astronomers to believe that since water exists on Mars, life forms could exist as well.
 However, there are others who feel that life on Mars is not possible. This is because there is (74).......or no trace of oxygen on the planet. In 1965, the Mariner IV capsule managed to take photographs of the planet. It discovered that the only forms of life found are vegetation like fungi and mosses. (75)......., people remain fascinated by
the idea that there could one day be life on Mars.

B. 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 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 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, 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.
