初中英语议论文试题

Choose the best answer to complete the passage．

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．

Dear children，

How time flies!As your teacher，I'd like to talk about"behaving like a grown﹣up"with you before you leave school．

During our lives，we need the strength of other people to achieve our goals．（16）　　of us can make it on our own．

In an（17）　　world，we would all have thoughtful，helpful people to guide us in life．Imagine having a （18）　　who is devoted to keeping you healthy．Or imagine having a boss who wants you to enjoy your job and make progress in your（19）　　．But many of us have difficulty dealing with（打交道）grown﹣ups who seem（20）　　in their changeable moods．If we have immature（不成熟的）adults（21）　　trustworthy adults around us，we will certainly get into real trouble．

What's more，if we are always（22）　　that we're right all the time，while others are wrong，then we are like those immature adults．Our own personalities could be the（23）　　．

A mature adult is someone who makes problems better，not worse．When this type of people face a bad（24）　　，they try to find ways to be calm and in control．They keep practicing solving problems（25）　　they become members of mature adults．

Maybe you're now too young to behave like a mature adult．When you run across a problem，try to stay calm and think more about before taking actions，then you're really on the way to be grown﹣up．

Yours faithfully，

Vivien

    Numbers in different countries may have different meanings． In China， some people think that some numbers bring them（1）　　． Take "8" for example， the Chinese pronunciation of the number "8" has almost the（2）　　sound as that of the Chinese character "发[fa：]"， which means making a fortune． So， many Chinese people spend a lot of（3）　__　to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number "8"． They believe without（4）　　doubt that the number will bring them money．

    （5）　　， others don't believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck． They think such an idea is only an ignorant（愚昧的） and superstitious（迷信的） belief． A number is one thing， and good luck is（6）　　． They will ask， "（7）　　can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers， even if you don't work hard， don't have good opportunities and don't get along well with the people around you？"

    As for me， I（8）　　with the latter（后者）． Clearly， lucky numbers are only a kind of superstition． Perhaps it holds true for some cases， but often it does not． Numbers can（9）　　bring good luck to a person at all and our fortune is in our own hands． So， everyone can have a good fortune only if he tries his best． Let's always remember "Opportunities are only for the（10）　　mind" and "No pains， no gains"．

    It is only when get（7）　　that we begin to realize that time is a precious treasure． （8）　　 we might find that we haven't invested（投资） our time well． We discover that we （9）　　 have enough time to do things we want． Just as adults need to spend their money on （10）　　 things like taxes（税款） and bills， they also have to spend their time（11）　　things that they might not really want to do﹣things that really make time boring．

    The only way to get the most of the time we have is to live for today， and never delay（拖延） till next day． As the idiom （12）　　， "Delay is the thief of time．" And you don't want anyone to steal your time， do you？
