If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment, they would look at you as if you were crazy.

My first day as a waiter in a busy London restaurant is unforgettable. My cap had gone away, and my feet were  (1)  .  The piles of plates I carried   (2)   to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I wasn't 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   (8)   asked me how I'd like my first day, I said, "Fun!" Those few words of praise had   (9)   everything.  Praise is like   (10)   to the human spirit; we cannot grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too   (11)   to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are   (12)   to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why when one word of praise can bring such   (13)  ?

    It is strange how chary(吝啬的) we are about  (14)  . 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 beautiful 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.

   “Everything happens for the best”, my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you   (1)   on, something good will happen some day.”

   Mother was right, as I   (2)   after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a   (3)   announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was   (4)   every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that    (5)   stations wouldn’t employ a person without    (6)   since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.

   I returned to Dixon,    (7)   I had finished my high school education and had    (8)  in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to  (9)  its sports department. The job sounded just  (10)  for me, but I wasn’t employed.

   My disappointment had shown as if   (11)   “Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad   (12)    me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me   (13)   had already employed an announcer.   (14)   I left his office, I asked myself aloud, “  (15)   can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if   (16)   can’t get a job in a radio station?” Suddenly, I heard the director   (17)   , “Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to   (18)   an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was   (19)   and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   (20)   Sunday.

It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a New York restaurant. My cup had gone away, and my feet   (1)   . The   (2)  plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier.   (3)  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.

Standing on the top of a church tower not far from our home in Rome, Father said to me, “Look down, Elsa. Be brave.” I gathered all my   (1)   and looked down. I saw the crossing of twisting, turning streets   (2)   to the square in the center of the village. “See, my dear,” Father said gently.“There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try   (3)  ”

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged Mother to do something about the   (4)   lunches that were served at school. But she   (5)     

because she could not believe the lunches were so bad. When I turned to Father for help, he would not   (6)   . Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a(n)   (7)   .

At school the next day, I secretly   (8)   my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I talked the cook into serving it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked   (9)   . She swallowed one spoonful, “The cook must have gone mad!” Having known what I had done, Mother stated firmly that she would   (10)   the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered what Father told me. And on the way to my first small success I found the road   (11)   with his words in mind. As a fashion-design lover, I was busy getting ready to   (12)   my winter fashions. Then just 13 days before the presentation the sewing girls were called out on   (13)   . I felt so depressed that I was   (14)   that we would have to cancel the presentation   (15)   show the clothes unfinished. Then it   (16)   on me. Why not show the clothes unfinished?

We worked hurriedly and the showing took place as   (17)   . Some coats had no sleeves; others had only one. Many of our clothes were only   (18)   made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we pinned sketches and pieces of material. In this way we were able to show what colors and textures (结构) the clothes would have when they were finished. It was our   (19)   showing that caught the attention of the public, and   (20)   for the clothes poured in.

Father’s wise words had guided me again. There is always more than one way to the square.
