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. 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.” 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 get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

短文属于议论文。作者通过对中西方文化的差异的描述，阐明自己的观点：有时候我们应该用自信代替谦虚。
小题1:由于文化背景不同，外国人对中国人的回答感到惊讶。
小题2:made oneself understood （使他人）明白，此处需要用he的反身代词。
小题3:这里是“没听清”的意思，强调听的结果，用hear；前面用了had，动词用过去分词，构成过去完成时。
小题4:男孩原以为女孩不明白，重复一篇后，仍旧未听到女孩符合常理的回答，这是出乎男孩意料的。前后意思有所转折，因此用but。
小题5:what to say“不知说什么”，其中what是say逻辑宾语；且say是及物动物，必须跟宾语，排除A、D选项；这里的说话内容没有选项，也排除which。
小题6:根据句意，“像美国人那样…”指的是“接受恭维”，排除C、D；accept“接受”，receive“接收”。
小题7:根据情节，她不是不明白男孩所说的话，因此使用肯定结构。
小题8:这里面的内容，属于西方文化。
小题9:通过第三段和最后一段可知，西方人想表现“自信”。
小题10:这里指饭菜。
小题11:这里是“意思是，意谓”。
小题12:这是作者的观点：用自信代替谦虚。
小题13:本段做了几个并排的假设，此处要跟下文一致，用If。
小题14:表示复数，泛指他人。
小题15:expect to do 期待去做；期望做某事。
