【題目】 One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “ You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “ No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made_____understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said , “ Yes , indeed, you speak very well.” ____the girl still kept saying , “ No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know_____to say.

What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t______a compliment ( 恭維)in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ______understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the_____, people will feel proud and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the _____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____ being proud, so sometimes you should be confident_____being modest. If 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 others. 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_______get it . So in the west , you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

【題目】 Like you,plants need good things like food,waterand minerals in order to grow. Usually they get these important nutrients(營養(yǎng)) from the rich soil(土壤) in which they're planted. But there's another way to grow plants that doesn't use soil. It's called hydrogenic gardening.

“Hydrogenic” means “working with water. ” In a hydrogenic garden,plants grow with their roots in water, not in dirt. The water is filled with special food for the plants that gardeners have carefully measured and prepared.

Hydrogenic plants grow quickly. In ordinary gardens,plants need time and energy to grow long roots that search the soil for food and water. In a hydrogenic gardenplants can use their energy to grow tall instead. And because there is no soil, there are no weeds and few insect pests(害蟲). Gardeners don't need to spray(噴灑) plants with dangerous chemicals. Both the plants and the environment stay healthy.

Scientists hope that,one dayhydrogenic gardens may be able to help hungry people all over the world grow enough food-even in countries that have bad soil,or weather that is too hot,too coldor too dry. And astronauts hope to take hydrogenic gardens with them to the spaceship they fly to Marsso that they will always have fresh vegetables,and the fun of growing a garden without dirt.
