My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite 16 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not 17 him clearly, he said, “ Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”18 the girl still kept saying, “ No.” In the end, the American boy could not understand and didn’t know 19 to say.What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t 20 a compliment ( 恭维)in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “ Thank you” instead of “ No”. She really understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel proud and 21 when they are praised. So if someone says the 22 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 23 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of being modest.24 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 25 . 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 .

In 1948, they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing up.”These were such good ideas that the McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly in less than a minute and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world ---even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in theworld.McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them.
