“You speak very good English.”

The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student. “You    1    very good English.” But the student answered, “No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite    2    at the answer, thinking he didn’t make himself    3    , or the student didn’t hear him clearly.

He said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still    4    saying “No”.   5    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 (赞扬) as the American people do. He should say “Thank you” but not “No”. He actually understood what the American said. But he thought he should be modest.

In our country we think    6    modest is a virtue (美德) and showing off is a bad behaviour. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “No,    7    I can’t do it well.” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然) that you   8    cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by    9    . So in the West, one should always be confident (自信的).   10    self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere.

(    )1. A. say B. talk C. speak D. tell

(    )2.A. surprising B. surprised C. laughed D. laughing

(    )3. A. understood B. understand C. to understand              D. understanding

(    )4.A. enjoyed B. spent C. stood D. kept

(    )6.A. being B. be C. having D. have

(    )7. A. I’m afraid B. I’m not sure C. I don’t mind D. I don’t know

(    )9.A. another B. other C. the other D. others

(    )10.A. With B. Without C. By D. Through

五、阅读理解

The first day of school, our professor introduced an old lady Rose to us.

"Why are you in college at such an age?" I asked her. She replied, "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" We become friends quickly.

At the end of the term I invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us.  She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy.  You have to laugh and find humor every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't need any talent or ability. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets. "
