课文讲解
Anita Roddick opened The Body Shop (美体小铺) in 1976 to sell cosmetics. The shop became popular because everything it sells uses natural ingredients. Though it brought her wealth, Roddick had other goals as well. She used her money and her company to support some important causes.
安妮塔．罗迪克在1976年开设美体贩卖化妆品。这家店变得受欢迎，是因为它卖的每一项产品都使用天然的原料。虽然它为罗迪克带来财富，但她却还有其他目标：她用自己的财产和企业来支持一些重要的理想。
In 1990, Roddick started The Body Shop Foundation to help both the environment and people in poor countries. She wanted to make sure the workers producing her ingredients get paid fairly. Though Roddick died in 2007, her company continues to stand for what she believed in.
