One day, I heard an American boy___36____to a Chinese student of English,“You speak very good English.” But the student answered,“No, no. My English is very ___37____” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the Chinese student had not heard him clearly, he said,“Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”But the Chinese student still___38____ saying,“No.”__39___ the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know what to say.

　　What's ___40____with the student's answer? He didn't __41___a compliment(赞美词)in the same way as the American people do. He should answer,“Thank you.”instead of“No”. He really understood what the American boy had said,___42___ he thought he should be modest(谦虚). In the west, people will feel pround and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes__43__you have cooked are very delicious, you should say“Thank you.”If someone says to a woman“You look so beautiful___44___the new clothes on.”She___45___ be very happy and answer“Thank you.”

　　In our country we think __46____modest is a virtue(美德) and being pround is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of being modest.

　　If you are modest and say,“No, I'm__47____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___48___down upon by__49____. If asking for a job, one says something like“Yes, I can certainly do it”instead of“Let me have a try”, he or she will expect to get it. So in the west, you should have__50____ to show your self-confidence!
