黑龙江省牡丹江管理局北斗星协会2017届中考英语二模试卷
In our country we think being modest(谦虚的) is a virtue(美德) and being proud is a bad thing. One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese student, “you speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite 1at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not heard him 2 He said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”3 the girl still kept saying. “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know 4 to say.
What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 5a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer “Thank you” instead of “No.” She 6 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the 7 people will feel 8 and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the 9 you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you”.
If you are modest and say. “No, I'm 10 I can't do it well”, while working in a western country, people may think that you really can not do it. If you often say, “No”, you'll certainly be looked down upon by 11 When asking 12 a job, if one says something like, “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try”, he or she will13 get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence. In my opinion, being confident doesn't 14 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident15 being modest.

Jarek, Poland I don't know anybody from Poland here, but I'm lucky because the English boy next door is very friendly and kind. We are in the same class! I like teachers here. At home, the teachers seem a bit strict and serious. There are a lot of rules, too. Here, teachers are patient and don't give much homework. We students go out of school and buy pizza or burgers at lunchtime. We can't do that in Poland. | Daisy & Luck, the USA My sister and I like living here. It's cool! My sister loves the British accent (口音). Everybody here is very polite. But we don't understand all your strange words-we say "yard" not garden, and "apartment" not flat. The food is better here. There's Chinese, Indian and Thai. At home we eat too much fast food. |
| Zinah, India It's too cold here! I hate doing sports, especially outside in winter. The teacher here is very serious about sports. I prefer science and maths. I love the maths class because the teacher is really funny, just like my maths teacher in India. The school is so big and some students seem unfriendly. I'm from a small village school. I think it's hard to communicate with them. |
Look at the foods around you. From grapes and wainuts (核桃)to cucumbers and spinach(菠菜), they make our diets special. But did you know that none of the foods above are native to China？They came to China through the Silk Road hundreds of years ago. Are there any foods that are native to China？Of course there are. Rice, soy beans, chestnuts (栗子), Chinese cabbage and hawthorns(山植)were all grown in China first.
Where are these foods from？
