一、完形填空。(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,填入空白处。
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 compliment(恭维) 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(谦虚的). In the 8, people will feel proud and 9 when they are praised. So if someone says the 10 you have cooked are 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(自信的) 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, others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. 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 14 get it. So in the west, you should be 15 to show your self-confidence.
