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  41  at the answer. Thinking he had not made  42   understood or the girl had not    43  him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”   44  the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know    45   to say.

What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t   46   a compliment (恭維) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She   47   understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the  48  , people will feel proud and  49   when they are praised . So if someone says the     50    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  51   being proud, so sometimes you should be confident  52   being modest.

     53  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    54  . 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     55    get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

During his college years, Sherman Rogers spent a summer in logging(伐木) camp. When the boss had to leave for   41  days, he put Rogers in charge(掌管).

“What shall I do if the men   42  to follow my orders?” Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who complained all day, gave the other men a   43  time.

“Fire（解雇） them,” the boss said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, “I suppose you are going to fire Tony if you get the   44 . I’d feel badly about that. I have been logging for 40 years. Tony is one of the best workers I’ve ever had. I know he hates everybody and   45 . But he comes in first and leaves last. There has not been an   46  for eight years on the hill where he works.”

The next day, Rogers went to Tony, “Tony, do you know I’m in charge here today?” Tony said yes. “I was going to fire you the first time we quarreled,   47  I want you to know I’m not,” he told Tony, adding   48  the boss had said.

When he finished, Tony dropped the things in his hand and tears went down his   49 .

“Why didn’t he tell me that eight years   50  ?”

That day Tony worked   51  than ever before – and he smiled!

Rogers went back to   52  after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again who was now boss for one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to be so   53 .

Tony replied, “Were it not for the one minute you talk to me back that day, I would kill somebody some day. One minute   54  my whole life.”

Have you got one minute to thank someone? One minute to appreciate(欣賞) her or him? One minute. It can make a   55  for a lifetime.
