In the middle of a dark forest, there lives an owl(貓頭鷹). All the animals know that he is the wisest(聰明的) among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.
One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “what’s wrong with you?” asks the owl.
“I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to be a bird,” the bird says.
“Why don’t you want to be a bird?” asks the owl.
“I am so small, weak and useless,” she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not”
Then the owl whispers(耳語(yǔ)) something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away. One week later, the bird came back. “Oh, thank you very much. You are a very wise owl,” she says to the owl. “I am very happy now. Every day, I sit on top of the tallest tree and watch for(監(jiān)視) lions and tigers. When they come near, I shout at the top of my voice. Then my friend all run and hide. They are very thankful to me. I am useful and important now”
The wise owl smiles and says, “No one in this world is useless.”

Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his  holidays. He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper.
“Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at west hill farm. good food., fresh air, horse riding,Walking,fishing, cheap and interesting.”
“This sounds a good idea,” He thought. “I’ll spend a month at west hill farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.” He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for west hill farm.But four days later, he returned home.
“What was wrong with west hill farm?” His best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”
“Oh. what?”
“Well,” he said, “The first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”
“What's wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”
“Lucky you!”
“You don't understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “ And you are complaining!”
“Let me finish,” Henry said. “On the fourth day the farmer died, and i didn't dare (敢)  stay for dinner!”
【小題1】How did henry find out about the farm?

One day, I heard an American boy say 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   1  at the answer. Thinking he had not made   2   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   3   to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t   4   a compliment (恭維)in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She     5      understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel proud and   6  when they are praised(贊揚(yáng)). 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   7  being proud, so sometimes you should be confident    8   being modest.
  9    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 on 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  10  get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
