Question

One fine afternoon I was walking along the Fifth Avenue, when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks．I   36  the first sock shop that caught my eye, and   37 , not more than 17, came forward. "What can I do for you, sir?" "I wish to   38  a pair of socks."   39  glowed. "Did you know that you had come into   40  in the world to buy socks?" I had not been   41  that, as my entrance had been accidental．"Come with me,”"said the boy happily．He began to   42  down from the shelves box after box．

"  43 , boy, I'm going to buy only one pair!" "I know that, but I want you to see how beautiful these are．Aren't they wonderful?" There was   44  an expression of joy,   45  he were revealing(透露） to me the   46  of his religion．I became far more interested in him than in the socks．"My friend,"said I, "if this is   47  the enthusiasm from freshness, and you can keep it up   48 , in ten years you’ll own every sock in the United States．"

My amazement at his pride in   49  will be understood by all who read this article．In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to   50  him．When   51  some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him．  52  possibly that very clerk who is now so   53  began his career with enthusiasm．The freshness   54 ; He became a mechanical salesman．

I’ve observed such change in the lives of so many men in so many occupations that I've come to the   55  that the fastest road to failure is to do things mechanically．
