One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of   36   students in the classroom on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the   37   thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It   38   the class some time to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one   39   the papers.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the   40   of each student on a separate sheet of paper and 41   what everyone else had said about that individual.
On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the whole class was   42   . “Really?” she heard whispered. “I never knew that I   43   anything to anyone!” and, “I didn’t know others liked me so much” were most of the comments.
