Driving in China
I have been driving cars since I reached the pedals(踏板). In Canada you 1 16 to get a driver’s license. I 2 myself to be a very good driver.
I visited China 20 years ago. I with my wife was in Shanghai to give a paper at a conference. We 3 the number of bicycles on the roads and the few cars. In Canada almost each family has one car, but it was 4 that most Chinese depended on bicycles.
I 5 Shanghai and to other Chinese cities many times since then and have watched the fast changes on the roads. There are far fewer bicycles now but 6 cars. The roads are crowded, the government has been forced to limit the number of days some cars can 7 and the traffic jams are almost constant (经常的). So are the accidents. On a recent visit I saw four or five
8 within a two-week period.
To get a driver’s license in Canada, you must drive, with an examiner, on real roads and in real traffic. However, in China you learn on a closed course, 9 real traffic, get a license and only then are able to drive under real roads.
Driving in Canada and driving in China 10 two different experiences. In Canada there are traffic jams but they aren’t so bad. We have more traffic lights; we obey them and drivers are usually
11 , allowing other cars to cut in front of them knowing it won’t make much difference. In China, if you stop 12 another car cut in front of you will probably be there for a long time because once one car gets in, dozens of 13 will follow.
I would rather 14 the bus than drive my car in downtown Shanghai and Beijing. Because it’s 15 and stronger than most things that might run into it.

“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You 1 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
2 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself 3 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still 4 saying “No”. 5 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people 6 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look 7 beautiful with the new clothes 8 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think 9 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 10 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you 11 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 12 . When 13 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident. 14 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great 15 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)
