Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌躇的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力地).

Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.

It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察） how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your judgement is likely to be.
