  One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl  41 , “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite  42  at the answer. Thinking maybe the girl had not   43  him clearly, he said, “Yes, I mean you speak very well.” 44  the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know  45  to say.

  What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t  46  a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She  47  understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest(谦虚的). In the  48 , people will feel proud(自豪的) and  49   when they are praised(被表扬). So if someone says the  50  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(自信的) does not  51  being proud, so sometimes you should be confident  52  being modest.

   53  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(被瞧不起) by  54 . 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 expect to get it. So in the west, you should be  55  to show your self-confidence.
