There at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass, my l4-year-old son, John, and I noticed the coat. While the other coats drooped (低垂), this one looked as if it were 　41 itself up. The coat was beautifully made, with a Fifth Avenue label and an 　42 price of $28, which was popular just then with 　43 , but could cost several hundred dollars new. John tried it on and the 　44 was perfect.

John 　45 the coat to school the next day and came home with a big smile. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said, 　46 folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a 　47 came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness (作对) and 　48 discussion replaced fierce argument. He became more mannerly and 　49 , eager to please. He would generously lend his younger brother his tapes and lecture him 　50 his behavior.

When I mentioned this 　51 to his teacher and wondered what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It 　52 be his coat!” Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned 　53 but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran 　54 a friend. “Could this be John?” he asked surprisingly, 55 John’s new height, appreciating the cut of his coat and holding out his hand, one gentleman to another.

John and I both know we should never 　56 a person’s clothes for the real person within them. 　57 , there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for 　58 what is on the inside with what is on the outside.

For John, it is a time when it is as easy to try on different 　59 to life as it is to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast landscape 　60 all the doors are open. And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat.

One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue, 　 21　 I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. Why I wished to buy only one pair is 　 22　 . I turned into the first sock shop that 　 23　 my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old 　 24　 . “What can I do for you, sir?” “I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes were shining. There was a note of 　 25　 in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?” I had not been aware of that, as I entered the shop 　 26　 . “Come with me,” said the boy, excitedly. I followed him to the back part of the shop, and he began to take down from the shelves box after box, 　 27　 their contents for my enjoyment. “Hold on, young man, I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see 　28　 beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderful?”　 29　 was on his face an expression of pleasure, 　 30　 he were uncovering the mysteries of his religion. I became far 　 31　 interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in amazement. “My friend,” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not 　32　 the enthusiasm that comes from having a new job, if you can keep up this enthusiasm and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every 　 33　 in the United States.”

My amazement 　 34　 his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article. In many shops the 　 35　 has to wait for someone to serve him. And when 　 36　 some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him. Either he is 　 37　 in deep thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is chatting with a girl clerk and you feel like 　 38　 for “being too rude”.

He shows no interest either in you or in the goods he 　 39　 to sell. Yet possibly the very clerk who is now so indifferent(冷漠的) began his career with hope and 　 40　 . The daily work was too much for him; the newness disappears slowly; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours; and he saw younger clerks who had more enthusiasm in their work promoted over him. He became sour. That was the last stage. His usefulness was over.
