Have you ever seen a horse with toes? Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were no bigger than the cats. These small horses lived in the forest. The toes helped the horses run on the soft, wet ground.
At first, it was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became very cold. Many trees could not live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open fields took the place of forests. The sun made the ground dry and hard.
Horses began to change, too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry, hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time, horses had only one hard toe on each foot. Now we call this hard toe a hoof(蹄子).

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 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not heard him . He said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer “Thank you” instead of “No”. She understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the , people will feel and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you”.
If you are modest and say, “No, I’m I can’t do it well”, while working in a western country, people may think that you really can not do it. If you often say, “No”, you’ll certainly be looked down upon by . When asking a job, if one says something like, “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence. In my opinion, being confident does not being proud, so sometimes you should be confident being modest.
