正确答案:(正确答案: The Importance of Compliments Mark Twain once said, "I can live for two months on a good compliment. " What he was trying to convey is the importance of compliments. In fact, all human beings have a need to be seen, acknowledged and encouraged, and a great compliment is certainly one of the best ways to meet that need. There are many positive effects of good genuine compliments. For one thing, exchanging compliments with strangers can keep you off guard and warm your heart. Saying things like " You look wonderful today" might seem ordinary, but these few words can turn a grey day into a sunny one. For another, to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort. It is such a small investment, and yet consider the results it may produce. Last but not the least, recognition and praise are positive ways of motivating people. Praising the good behavior and complimenting the person can bring out his best. In short, let's be alert to the small excellences around us and commend them. We will not only bring joy into other people's lives, but also, very often, add happiness into our own's.)
