　　There are many kinds of friends．Some are always 　　1　　 you, but don't understand you．Some say only a few words to you, but understand you．Many people will step in your life, but only 　　2　　 friends leave footprints(脚印)．

　　I shall always think of the autumn and the girl with the 　　3　　．It was the golden season．I could see the yellow leaves 　　4　　 in the cool wind．Autumn is a harvest(丰收)season and life is uninteresting．The free days always let 　　5　　 down．But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears．I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was．A young girl, standing in the wind, was 　　6　　 in playing her violin．I had 　　7　　 seen her before．The music was so nice that I didn't know I had been 　　8　　 there for so long．

　　Every day I went to watch her performance．I was the only listener．The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 　　9　　．I thought we were already good friends, 　　10　　 we didn't know each other．

　　Autumn was nearly over．One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly

　　　　11　　．To my surprise, the girl came over to me．

　　“You must like violin．” she said．

“You speak very good English”

　　The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English．“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 had not made himself 　　3　　 or the student had not heard 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 as the American people 　　6　　．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 someone says to a woman, “ You look 　　7　　 beautiful with the new clothes 　　8　　．” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you．” In our country we think 　　9　　 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior．But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 　　10　　 I can't do it well, ” then the others will take it for granted(理所当然)that you 　　11　　 can not do it．If you often say, “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 　　12　　．When 　　13　　 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it．So in the West, one should always be confident．　　14　　 self-confidence, he can't go anywhere．Confidence is of great 　　15　　 to one in a country where competition is quite keen．(激烈)
