As everyone knows, there are many 　16　 of transportation in the world, like bicycles, buses, ships, trains and 　17　 .

If you are in big  18　like Shanghai or Beijing, maybe you get to school   19  a subway or you have to 　20　 to school because you live in a mountain village. Here I am just trying to say something about　21　 .

Ten years　22　, bicycles were very　23　in most villages.  24　 family had one or two of bicycles. Children got to school by bicycle; 　25　 rode bicycles to go shopping. Then motorcycles (摩托车)   26  to become popular. People no longer rode bicycles because motorcycles ran   27  faster.  But now, in some countries，bicycles are highly suggested

  28  the main means of transportation. They think buses, cars and motorcycles pollute(污染) the air but bicycles   29  . So, to live a low-carbon life,   30  a bike is a good way.

One day, I heard an American boy___36____to a Chinese student of English,“You speak very good English.” But the student answered,“No, no. My English is very ___37____” 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 still___38____ saying,“No.”__39___ the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know what to say.

　　What's ___40____with the student's answer? He didn't __41___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,___42___ he thought he should be modest(谦虚). In the west, people will feel pround and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes__43__you have cooked are very delicious, you should say“Thank you.”If someone says to a woman“You look so beautiful___44___the new clothes on.”She___45___ be very happy and answer“Thank you.”

　　In our country we think __46____modest is a virtue(美德) and being pround 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__47____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___48___down upon by__49____. 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 have__50____ to show your self-confidence!

　　　Body language is the quite, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that out body movements communicate(表达)about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only do 7%. So while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying…

     Arms. How you hold your arms show how open and receptive(接受) you are to people your meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people usually use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone makes you angry, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!

      Head. When you want to show your confidence, keep your head level (平直).If you are monitor in class, you can also take on this position(姿势)when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.

      Legs. Your will move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.

      Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips(撅起嘴).You might also use this position to hold back angry words you don’t wish to say. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.
