Question

[對(duì)點(diǎn)訓(xùn)練]

(2014 •南充中考) One day?I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student ,“You speak very good English. ” But the girl answered ,“No,no. My English is very poor”. The foreigner was quite 1 at the answer. Thinking he had not made 2 understood or the girl had not 3 him clearly,he said ,“Yes,indeed,you speak very well. ” 4 the girl still kept saying ,“No. ”In the end,the American boy could not understand and didn't know 5 to say.

What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 6 a 6ompliment (恭維) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She 7 understood what the American boy had said,but she thought she should be modest (謙虛 的) .In the 8,people will feel proud and 9 when they are praised (表揚(yáng)) . So if someone shys the 10 you have cooked are very delicious,you should say,uThank you. ”

In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美 德) and being proud is a bad thing. But in my opinion,being confident does not 11 being proud,so sometimes you should be confident 12 being modest.

13 you are modest and say,“No,I'm afraid I can't do it well” while working in a western country,the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”，you will certainly be looked down upon by 14 . When asking for a job,if one says something like^YesJ can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”，he or she will 15 to get it. So in the west,you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
