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 （1） at 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 （5） a 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 oftensay，"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 will （13） get it．So in the west，you should be brave to show your self﹣confidence．In my opinion，being confident does not （14） being proud，so sometimes you should be confident （15） being modest．

I have invented robots which improve the work of cars． My love of making things began（1） I was a kid． I really became excited about inventing after I learned about Thomas Edison．

My dad noticed my interest in inventing and（5） me． He showed me how to turn my ideas into plans and then into new things． Once， I surprised my dad（6） a model plane I made． Later， we found a（7） model plane in a store． I learned that different inventors often invent similar things． It is not unusual for this to happen． I also learned that not all great ideas（8） ． Failure is a common part of the inventing．

Salt has many（3） ． Our bodies need salt． If we don't have enough， our bodies can't work properly． We put salt on icy roads to make them（4） ． We also use salt to produce other products， like paper and glass． But for many years， salt's most important job was to（5） food． Like other living things， most bacteria（细菌） need water to live． Salt takes in plenty of water， so most bacteria（细菌） can not live（6） a salty environment． As a result， salt protects food and many other things． For much of human history， this ability has made salt（7） ．Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt． Even today， the hard﹣working ，useful people are（8） as "the salt of the earth"．

Many of us enjoy watching animals in the world．But do you know they can teach us？
Geese （雁），for example，teach a very good lesson about （1） ．In the fall，Canada geese fly to the warm south to （2） Canada's cold winter．They lift off in no order．Yet （3） they form a V shape，with one bird leading the group．
This V shape allows geese to （4） energy．When the front bird moves its wings up and down，the resulting force of the air lifts the next one．This continues down the line．The bird （5） has the hardest job．When it gets （6） ．it moves behind，and another bird moves into the lead．By sharing the role，the group can travel great distances．Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70percent farther without （7） than birds flying alone．
During the long flying journey，geese communicate with one another．They honk （鸣叫）to （8） the birds up front to keep up the speed．They also cheer each other up （9） working toward a common goal．
What have we learned from the lovely geese's experience and skills？
（10） together!Whether it is our personal lives or our jobs，we need other people．We need the spirit of teamwork!
