Some people have minds that shineonly in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. Butdon ’ t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himselfbetter than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up agood front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) makea favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near thebottom of the class.In a word, you can’ t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a personintelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. Themore situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take you r time.
