M: And what do people do at parties?

　　W: Sometimes they just sit or stand around in groups and talk, ⑯but often parties involve music and dancing.

　　M: I can’t dance.

　　W: You don’t have to dance if you don’t want to, but you should try it a few times. Maybe you’ll like it.

　　M: If I stand around and talk to others all night, I’ll never get to this party.

　　W: OK. Have a good time.

　　M: Thanks.

　　(Text 10)

　　Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. ⑲A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He searches awkwardly for words and does not talk smoothly. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper he can express himself very well.

　　⑳Other people may fool you into overvaluing their intelligence by putting up a good appearance. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class 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.

　　⑱The main idea is you can’t judge someone by their appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. ⑱Don’t judge the book by its cover.
