C完形填空。(30分)

   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 (表扬). So if someone says the 10 you have 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 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,the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 14 . 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 15 getting it. So in the west,you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
