阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

　　    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 (智力) of others. Some people have minds that shine　　 only 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. But don't make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody.

　　     Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their　　 intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens　　 attentively and takes notes in class is sure 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 appearance.　　 the only way to determine (决定) a person's intelligence is to get to　　 know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反应) to different　　 situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is　　 likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge the book by its cover.
