    　　The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student in English“You speak very good English”．But the student answered,“No, no．My English is very poor．”The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer．Thinking he had not made himself understand or the student had not heard him clearly, he said,“Yes, indeed, you speak very well．”But the Chinese student still kept saying“No”．In the end the foreigner gave up and didn't know what to say．

    　　What is wrong with the student's answer?It is because he didn't accept a compliment as the English people do．He should have said“Thank you”instead of“No”He actually understood what the American had said．But he thought he should be modest．If he said“Thank you”, that would mean he was too proud．According to the Western culture, if someone says the dishes, you have cooked are very delicious, you should say“Thank you”．If someone says to a woman“You look so beautiful with the new clothes on”, she should be very happy and answer“Thank you”．In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad thing．But in the West, if you are modest and say“No, I'm afraid I can't do it well”, then the others will take it for granted that you really can-not do it．If you often say“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by others．If asking for a job, one says something like“Yes, I can certainly do it”instead of“Let me have a try on the job”, he or she will expect to get it．So in the West, one should always be confident．Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere．Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competitions is quite keen．

    (1)

    Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English．

    B．

    Because he wouldn't like others to say“No”．

    C．

    Because he could hardly hear what the student had said．

    D．

    Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the Western countries．

    (2)

    As the student kept saying“No”, the American ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    became disappointed

    B．

    got angry

    C．

    lost interest

    D．

    could not continue the talk because he really didn't know what else he could say

    (3)

    According to the Western culture, if one is given a compliment he or she should say“________”．

    [　　]

    A．

    Pardon

    B．

    Excuse me

    C．

    Yes, thanks a lot

    D．

    Thank you

    (4)

    Why does a man in the West who asks for a job say something like“Yes, I can certainly do it”?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because he is not modest．

    B．

    Because he should give an impression that he's just fit for the job in order to get the job．

    C．

    Because he could do nothing but speak that way．

    D．

    Because he just wanted to have a try．

    (5)

    The Chinese people are modest while the Westerners are confident．

    B．

    Confidence is more important than modesty．

    C．

    How to accept compliments given by Westerners．

    D．

    About the Western culture．

    The phone rings. It’s a friend who wants to tell you his or her latest health problems. You hate to be impolite and cut your friend off, but what can you do? Stephanie Winston, author of Stephanie Winston’s Best Organizing Tips, offers his advice:
    Don’t ask questions like “What’s new?” They give the information that you have time to talk. After “hello”, get right to the heart of the matter.
    Time your calls wisely. If you make a call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the workday, people chat less.
    Set a time limit. Start with, “Hi, I’ve only got a few minutes, but I wanted to talk to you about….” Or, “Gee, I’d love to talk more, but I only have a couple of minutes before I have to leave.”
    Jump on a pause. Even the most talkative caller has to pause now and then. Quickly say, “It has been great talking with you.” Then end the conversation.
    Forget niceties. Some people just don’t take a hint. Cut your caller off and say, “I’d like to talk to you longer, but I’m afraid I have no enough time. Good bye.” Then hang up.
    Find “a partner in crime”. If nothing else works, ask someone in your home to help you. For example, one woman gives a sign to her husband, who shouts, “Jane, I think the roast chicken is burning.”
    Avoid the phone completely. Use an answering machine to screen calls. If you have an important message for a chatterbox, leave the message when he or she isn’t in.
    小题1:What’s the good time to make a call so that people can chat less?
    A．After lunch or dinner.
    B．In the middle of the workday.
    C．Before lunch or dinner.
    D．At the beginning of the workday.
    小题2:“Finding a partner in crime” means ______.
    A．finding someone to answer the call
    B．getting right to the heart of the matter
    C．telling the caller you are just cooking
    D．asking someone to help you end the call
    小题3:What’s Winston’s advice about?
    A．How to talk on the phone.
    B．How to make calls wisely.
    C．How to make a phone call.
    D．How to keep phone calls short.
