Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively(注意地) and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression(印象) 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 judge a person's intelligence is to know him. Then you can see his reaction(反应) to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgement is likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge the egg by its shell.
The passage suggests that ______.
A.a good writer is always a good speaker
B.a good writer may not be a good speaker
C.a good writer will find himself speechless
D.a speechless person always writes well

Hi Reiko,
I heard the news this morning about your transfer. I was sad to learn that you will be moving to the Yokohama warehouse. It seems like half of the staff is leaving for one reason or another. I considered (144) , too, but my husband would never agree to it.
If you need any help packing or making arrangements in Yokohama, let me know. I have many relatives in Yokohama if you and your husband need anywhere to stay for a short time (145) you are looking for a new home. Of course, those arrangements may already have been made by the company.
I will miss our conversations in the staff room. You always tell the best stories about your family members, and I feel like I know them personally. I'm sure you will be busy this month, but I'd love to get together for lunch or dinner before you go if you can spare the (146) Tuesdays or Thursdays are the best days for me. If you can't make lunch or dinner, I hope we can at least make one last date for coffee.
Talk to you soon,
Junko

听力原文:W: I have heard that you are going to California next week. What for?
M: One of my cousins is getting married there; my family is invited.
W: Wow, that's big news. (22)What are you going to get for your cousin?
M: I've no idea, and that's what is troubling me these days. You know, Jasmine is hard to please.
W: No wonder you look worried. So, what about your study? You should know that the final exams are coming. Don't you worry about that?
M: Actually, I don't. (23) There are still four weeks to go, and I will have three weeks to review my lessons after I come back.
W: You are leaving for a whole week? That's a quite long time, especially in this period. I always get nervous while having exams, and I can't sleep well the nights before exams. I think I should go to the doctor's.
M: Well, we are quite different in that. I think it is just because you think of the exams too much and pay too much attention to the results. You should relax and take a little time off.
W: I wish I could. (24) You know, my parents have high expectations of me and they have done so much for me...
M: Oh, that all depends on how you think of it. Parents' love shouldn't be your burden. You tried your best, and that's what counts. Your parents will surely understand you. Take it easy. (25) Talk to your parents; it may help.

M: No. I haven't. But I don't like fish very much anyway.
W: Don't worry. Although it is made primarily from fish, it actually doesn't have a fishy taste. In fact, it can be flavored with tomato, cheese, or chocolate for instance.
M: That sounds good. I suppose this product will be low calorie and high protein, like, eh, health food.
W: Yes, you could call it that. And it has a long shelf life, so it won't spoil quickly. It is also easy to digest and can be made from types of fish that usually aren't eaten, or from high-grade fish byproduct.
M: Hm... Have you got any samples? I might be willing to try the cheese flavored variety.
W: No, none of this seems to be available yet. As I understand it,this fish food probably won't be in the stores for another couple of years, so you have a while to get used to the whole idea.
M: A couple of years, huh? It may just take me that long. But thanks for telling me about it.

A.He is very interested in it.
