."Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat.Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved.The 26一year-old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer(唐氏綜合癥患者)in the U.S.to own a restaurant,but he has several other things to be proud of--he's a skillful special Olympian,an excellent sailor,and all experienced fisherman.He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you,it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experience
When Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant,Keith,a small businessman himself,supported him.Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking,and he introduced the idea of free hugs.He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant.That is why he included"love"as all ite on the menu.Customers can order the free hug from Tim,and even if they don't,he'll probably hug them anyway.
The restaurant has been around sinc 2010,and Tim has given out over 19,000hugs in the past five years--he keeps count using a special Hug Counter.Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"."I've been coming here once a week."said Michelle Garth-Jones,a regular customer."I love local restaurants,and this specil one has a story that stays with you."

分析 文章大意:在美國餐館老板與客戶關系是普通,老板們正在把它提高到一個全新的水平,.Tim Harries在用餐結束為免費每一位客戶提供擁抱.
在他的餐廳"提姆"是如此的積極,客戶經常稱它為"世界上最友好的餐館的氣氛".
"提姆的擁抱"其實是菜單上的描述為一個"愛"的治療項目.提姆的擁抱是雙重因為他所擁有的一切了.這名26歲的老板是一個有唐氏綜合征患者,但他有值得驕傲的其他一些東西--他是一個熟練的特殊奧運會相當優(yōu)秀的水手,也是一名有經驗的漁夫,他也被選為國王和高中的學生!所以,當一個像提姆這樣的人擁抱你的時候,一定會是一段特殊而難忘的經歷.
