　　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．

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．In the 　　8　　, people will feel proud and 　　9　　 when they are praised．So if someone says the 　　10　　 you have cooked are very delicious , you should say , “ Thank you．”
