The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago, I got to know a ____ lady named Rose, she had no kids and lived alone. ____ I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she wanted to____ me to have lunch.

We walked ____ my workplace to a little restaurant on David Street. On the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to ____ the lunch, I was afraid I would hurt her.

There were many people in the ____, and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to ____ in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to ____ the delicious food together. She told ____ that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers ____ were working there were all volunteers.

I ____ remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. ____ we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose’s work. The weather was ____ and bright, and everyone’s smile was warm and bright too.

I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do ____ for our friends and neighbors. The world will be ____ if everybody would like to share happiness with others.

It will never be dark if there is a light in everyone’s heart.

“You speak very good English”

The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You  41  very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite

  42  at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself  43  or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still  44  saying  “No”.  45  the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.

What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people  46  . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look  47  beautiful with the new clothes  48  .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think  49  modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No,   50  I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you  51  can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by  52  . When  53  for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident.  54  self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great  55  to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)
