Passage 60

(安徽省淮北市濉溪县2010届高三第三次月考)

It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone　 away, and my feet 　36 　. The loaded plates I carried 　37 　to be heavier and heavier. Tired　 and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything　 38 　. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream　 39　 　a dozen times, I was ready to stop.　 Then the father 　40　 at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve 　41 　us　 really well.” Suddenly my tiredness 　42 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 　43　 !”Those few words of praise had 44 everything. Praise is like 　45 　to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 46 　, while most of us are only too 　47 　to apply to others the cold wind of criticism，we are 48 to give our　 fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why-when one word of praise can bring such 　49　 　?

It’s strange how chary (吝啬) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s 　50　 few of us know how to accept it. It’s 　51 　rewarding to give praise in areas in which 　52 　generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets complimented (admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a　 53 meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are 　54　 　just right? In fact, to give praise 　55 the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort.
