Nancy had just got a secretary's job in a big company to work in the sales department. Monday was the first day that she went to work, so she was very 　36　.She got up very early and arrived at the 　37　 at twenty to eight. She 　38　the door open and found nobody there. “I am the 　39　 to arrive.” She thought and came to her desk. She was surprised to 　40　 a large bunch of flowers on it. They were fresh.She 　41　 the flowers from the desk and smelled them. “Oh,how lovely!” Nancy 　42　 joyfully. She then looked round for a 　43　 to put them in. “Somebody has sent me flowers the 　44　 first day!” She thought happily. “But who could it be?” She began to wonder.
The day passed very 　45　 and Nancy did everything with great interest and 　46　.For the following days of the week, the first thing Nancy did was to change water for the flowers. And then she 　47　 herself in her work.
Then came another Monday. When she came near her desk she was overjoyed to see a(an) 　48　bunch of flowers there. She quickly put them in the vase, replacing the old ones.
The same thing happened again the next Monday, Nancy felt it 　49　 and this time she began to think of ways to find out the 　50　.
On Tuesday afternoon, she was sent to 　51　 a plan to the general manager's office. She had to stay for a while at his secretary's desk waiting for his 　52　.She happened to see on the desk a big note book 　53　“Records of managers' meetings”, and glanced at the 　54　 pages. Suddenly her eyes fell on these words:“In order to keep the secretaries 　55　,the company has decided that every Monday morning a bunch of fresh flowers should be sent to each secretary's desk.”
Later, she was told that their general manager was a business management psychologist.
