It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a New York restaurant. My cup had gone away, and my feet  41  . The  42  plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier.  43 and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream  44  a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father  45  at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you have  46   us really well.”

Suddenly my tiredness   47  . I smiled back, and later, when the  48 _  asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had   49   everything. Praise is like   50   to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And  51  , while most of us are only too   52  to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are  53  to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such   54  ?      It’s strange how chary (吝啬)we are about praising. Perhaps it’s  55  few of us know how to accept it. It’s  56  rewarding to give praise in areas in which   57   generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned．An artist gets admired for a glorious picture，a cook for a 

  58    meal．But do you ever tell your laundry(干洗店) manager how pleased you are when the  59  are done just right? In fact，to give praise  60   the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort．
