judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. a young man with an unusual gift in novel writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. but dont make the mistake of thinking he might not be that clever. with a pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well.other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front.a student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression on his teachers. but when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.we may conclude that: you cant judge someone by appearances. the only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing(观察) how he reacts to different situations. the more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. so take your time. dont judge the book by its cover.71 the best

the weekend. “were ready,” dad said as he came in from the porch. “ grab your rod.” alex turned away from the window and slowly picked up his fishing rod. “have fun!” mom said. “sure,” said alex, trying to make his voice bright. “we should have done this before.” dad said. “lets catch a big one!” dad picked up his tackle (钓具) box, rod, and bait can from the porch. he clicked on the flashlight. they walked down the hill toward the lake in the narrow beam of light. the only thing alex could see was the circle of weeds and rocks at their feet, lit by the flashlight. insect voices filled his ears-clicks, hums, buzzes, whines. hundreds of bugs waited in the darkness to attack. “ow!” he blurted as he felt a sting on his arm. “mosquitoes,” dad said. “i have brought some spray (喷雾) to keep them off.”when they reached the boat, alex stumbled as he climbed over the side. “i dont like this much,” he said. “its so dark.” dad squeezed his shoulder. “dont worry. its not as dark as you think. after a while your eyes will get used to the night.” suddenly something rushed past alexs head. he gasped. “what was that?” “probably a bat,” dad said. how could dad act as if it were nothing! “will bats be flying around our heads the whole time?” “this is their time to be out catching insects,” dad explained. “they wont hurt you. theyre too busy grabbing dinner.” he pushed the boat off the gravel (沙砾) and jumped in. alex gazed back at the cabin. a square of light from the window glowed in the darkness. dad rowed to the middle of the lake and stopped. “well just let the boat drift. keep the flashlight in the bottom of the boat. the fish wont bite if they see light flashing around. when weve done baiting our hooks(鱼钩), well turn the light off.” leaning down to get closer to the light,

to do more! buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. dont forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. dont comment about the books. simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. instead, you should take advantage of your childs love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so theres a
