听力原文：Woman: Hello, Executive Catering Services, Anna speaking. How can I help you？

Man: Hello Anna, this is Julian Russell from Family Holidays. I wondered if you could do some catering for us next week. We're having a small reception - it's to launch a new advertising campaign. Would you be free？

Woman: When exactly is it, Mr Russell？

Man: Next Thursday - that's May the second.

Woman: Oh yes, I can do that. Where will you be holding it？

Man: We thought we'd have it at Head Office and use the Boardroom because there's enough room for everyone there.

Woman: OK. What sort of things would you like？

Man: Just a light lunch, I think, so that people can eat while they move around and talk to each other. You did something similar for us last year - we'd be happy to have the same menu again.

Woman: Right, I'll look in my diary and see what you had. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask you, how many should I cater for？

Man: Well, I think most people will be able to come. Perhaps around 25. No, let's say 30 to be sure.

Woman: Right. Thank you for getting in much, Mr Russell, I'll send you confirmation of the arrangements by the end of the week and then I'll...

Passage Two

The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What's wrong with the student's answer？ It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. 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 he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, 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 should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I'm afraid I can't do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.

40. Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer？

A. Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.

B. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.

C. Because he wouldn't like others to say "No".

D. Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.
