1. （15分）完形填空

One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, "You speak very good English."1the girl answered, "No, no. My English is very poor. "The foreigner was quite2at the answer. Thinking he had not made3understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes, indeed, you speak very well."

But the girl4kept saying, "No." In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know5to say.

What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't6a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer "Thank you" instead of "No". She7understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel proud and8when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes you have9are very delicious, you should say, "Thank you."

In our country we think being modest is a virtue(美德) and being10is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not11being proud. So sometimes you should be confident12being modest.

If you are modest and say, "No, I'm afraid I13do 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 by14. 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 will15getting it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

Are you feeling sleepy in class? I remember that I used to get up at eight when I was young. And we usedn't to do homework. But now, everything has changed.

For 12-year-old Liu Xiangiian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5:50 am every school day.

"I don't want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid of being late, "the six grade Beijing primary school student said, "I want more sleep."
