　　One summer night, on nay way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn't face my 1 apartment.

　　Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the 2 between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep 3 the angle（角度）every time she leaned over to talk to him, 4 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans show such 5 in a public place?

　　I thought the movie would be good for my English, but it 6 that it was an Italian movie. 7 about half an hour I decided to give up the movie and 8 my attention on my popcorn（爆玉米花）. I've never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 9 . After a while I heard 10 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the 11 of the popcorn crunching（咀嚼）between my teeth. My thought started to 12 . I remembered that when I was in South Korea, I 13 to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean－I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me 14 I saw him again in New York speaking 15 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn't even have a Korean accent and I 16 as if I had been betrayed（背叛）.

　　When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 17 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 18 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 19 in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it 20 out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We've been speaking Korean at home ever since.

Speaking of what sort of smartness is most desirable in human conduct, a friend of mine has this to say: Real smartness must be something that can be practised repeatedly and infinitely. Then, he goes on to relate this event: In one European country there resided some Lebanese. Upon learning that ambulance rides there are provided free to patients in emergency cases, they rented an apartment near a hospital. Each time they wanted to go home, they just pretended to be sick, calling for an ambulance. On arrival at the hospital, they said now that they felt much better and had no need of any treatment. The next moment saw them leaving, safe and sound, to their apartment.

Their “being-clever” affords them only short-lived pleasure and joy; it could not be practised repeatedly, still less infinitely. Such smartness is based on “too clever to be wise”. Once seen through, they will lose the benefits they profited by playing dirty tricks. They will suffer the impairment of their own image and reputation as well as that of those who are tied with them by blood or by common interests.

When a person has done something to the discredit of one’s own image and reputation, it will surely involve others related to him in one way or another. Among those inflicted most by what folly (愚蠢) he may have done are those who, to him, have been close in relations and dear in sentiment.

Additionally, whether one’s act is wise or unwise, rather the summit of wisdom, depends on the result of the act; if　　　 , then the more often he does it, the better will he be believed. While repeating that act, he is not only earning himself an admirable image but also contributing to the fine impression and reputation of his relatives, his friends, his hometown and his motherland.
