【題目】 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 surprised ________ the answer. Thinking he had not made ________ understood or the girl had not listened to him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” But the girl still kept saying: “No, no.” This time the American boy could not understand and didn’t know ________ to say.

What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t ________ a compliment (恭維) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ________ did understand what the American boy said, but she thought she should be modest (謙虛的). In the ________, people will feel proud (驕傲) and ________ when they are praised (表揚(yáng)). So if someone says the dishes you cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank 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 mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident ________ being modest.

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