完形填空

　　It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant．My cap had gone away, and my feet 　　1　　．The loaded plates I carried 　　2　　 to be heavier and heavier．Tired and discouraged, I didn't seem able to do anything 　　3　　．As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice cream 　　4　　 a dozen times, I was ready to stop．Then the father 　　5　　 at me as he handed me my tip．“Well done,”he said,“you've 　　6　　 us really well．”Suddenly my tiredness 　　7　　．I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I'd like my first day, I said, “　　8　　!”Those few words of praise had 　　9　　 everything．Praise is like 　　10　　 to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it．And 　　11　　, while most of us are only too 　　12　　 to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are 　　13　　 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise．Why－When one word of praise can bring such 　　14　　?

　　It's strange how chary(吝啬的)we are about praising．Perhaps it's 　　15　　 few of us know how to accept it．It's 　　16　　 rewarding to give praise in areas in which 　　17　　 generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned．An artist gets admired for a glorious picture, a cook for a 　　18　　 meal．But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are 　　19　　 just right? In fact, to give praise 　　20　　 the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort．
