It took me hours to get there and I drove round and round looking for a place to park my car. At last I found a place in a back street. As I was already half an hour late, I parked my car quickly and hurried off on foot. Making my way rapidly along the street, I could not help thinking that it was much easier to walk than to drive.At noon, I left my friend's office. It suddenly stuck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was greatlyrelaxed to see a small green car just behind an old truck. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was very much like my own, it belonged to someone else. Quite tired now, I was ready to give up the search when I turned the corner.

He is in good condition but he lost his hearing at the age of 65. Then it became difficult for me to communicate with him. My mother bought a hearing aid (助听器) for him, but he often forgot where he had put it. So my mother advised me to communicate with him by gesture. Good idea! And then I began to use gesture.When I wanted to have an apple, firstly, I pointed to my mouth; later I made my hands form a round shape. Then he gave me an apple. When I was hungry, I pointed to my stomach. He would go into the kitchen and cook for me. When I wanted to use, the computer, I pointed to it. If he nodded(点头), I could play computer games from 8 pm to 10 pm; if he disagreed,he always touched my head and pointed to the desk -- that meant that I should do my homework first. It was an easy way for us to communicate with each other!36. How long has Grandfather been deaf?A. For 70 years.B. For 65 years.C. For 10 years.D. For 5 years.37.

My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the Chinese student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” But the Chinese student sill kept saying “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know what to say.What’s wrong with the student’s answer? He didn’t accept a compliment（赞美词）in the same way as the American people do. He should answer “thank you”instead of “no”. He really understood what the American boy had said, but he thought he should be modest（谦虚的）.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”. If someone says to a woman “You look so beautiful with the new clothes on.” She must be very happy and answer “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. If asking for a job, 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!41. Why was the American boy surprised at the Chinese student’s answer? 6A. Because he was expecting the Chinese student to say “Thank you”.B. Because he wouldn’t like others to say “No”.C. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.D.

In the west, if you meet a friend who wears a really beautiful dress, you may say“________”.A. Where do you buy it?B. Could you give me your dress?C. How beautiful you are today!D. I want a dress like yours very much.44. Why does a man in the west who asks for a job say something like “Yes, I can certainly doit”?A. Because he is not modest.B. Because he is confident and he wants to get the job.C. Because he just wants to try.D. Because he can do nothing but speak in that way.45. We can learn that the writer wants us to ________ through his passage.A. be modestB. be confidentC. be cleverD. be beautiful四、补全对话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的方框中选出最佳选项，使对话完整。
