In an American classroom, a Chinese girl was ...

In an American classroom, a Chinese girl was asked to answer a question. She stood up and smiled, without making any sound. The American teacher looked at himself and didn’t see anything funny. So he asked her the question again. The girl just smiled but said nothing. The teacher was angry. He didn’t know that the girl smiled to cover her embarrassment（尴尬）because she wasn’t able to answer the question.

In a dining room in Beijing, an Englishman was careless and dropped a plate. The Chinese who had seen this began to laugh. The Englishman felt uncomfortable and even got angry. “They are laughing at me,” he thought. In fact the Chinese laughed not at the Englishman or his bad luck—whether he is a foreigner or a Chinese. The smile or laughter has several feelings: don’t take it so seriously; laugh it off, it’s nothing; such things can happen to any of us.

1.The Chinese girl smiled in an American classroom because ________________.

A. she was asked to answer a question     B. she was asked to stand up

2.Which feeling is NOT included in the laughter when the Englishman dropped a plate?

American Classroom Rules

1. If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you don’t know the answer, it’s all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

2. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you can not go to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility（责任）to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of missed homework.

3. You must not be absent(缺席) on a test day. If you are badly ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you to take a makeup, you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Bad illness is the only reason for missing a test.

4. Be on time! It’s not polite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books out of your bag before you come into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the US, it is not necessary to knock at the door before you come into the classroom.

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

One day, I heard an American boy said 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 himself understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said, " Yes, indeed, you speak very well. " But the girl still kept saying, "No. " In the end, the American boy could not understand and didn't know what to say.

What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't accept a compliment(夸奖) 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 confident when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes 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 mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of 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 expect to get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence。

1.Why did the Chinese girl say“No”when she was praised?

A. Because she thought she should be proud.

B. Because she thought she should be confident.

C. Because she thought she should be modest.

D. Because she thought she is a student.

2.If you say,“I can do it well.“when asking for a job in the west，the others may think that __________.

A. You can do it well.　　 　　　　　 B. You can't do it well.

C. You like doing it.　　　　　　　　 D. You don’t like doing it.

3.What does the underlined part“looked down upon”mean in Chinese?

A．瞧不起　　 B．瞧得起　　 C．表扬　　 D．批评

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The girl didn’t hear the boy clearly.

B. The American boy understood the girl’s answer.

C. In China, people think being modest is a virtue.

D. The writer thinks being modest means being proud.

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

A. We should be proud and selfish in the west.

B. We should be modest and confident in the West.

C. We should be modest and brave in the West.

D. We should be brave and confident in the West.
