我們聽某人之言，可以知其人之性，“言為心聲”，是之謂也。我們將這句話往深處一想，便不難悟出這樣的道理--以貌取人所反映的往往是一種膚淺。

　　7. If you judge a person by their appearances , this tells people more about yourself than it does about that person . If the only quality that you value in a person is how well he dresses or how attractive he looks , then we can see into yourself , and understand that the things that you really do value are those very superficial qualities .

　　待人接物如此，交友時亦是如此。擇友時若唯外表是取，你可能會與志趣相投者擦肩而過：

　　8. If you choose your friend based on who is well dressed or who is more attractive , or other superficial qualities , then you are going to have less likelihood to have a good friend . You are going to miss out on a friend you could have who is much more interesting and much more creative and yet is much less interested in appearances.

　　外表的改變用不了多少時間，而內在素質的養成卻遠非一朝一夕。不知讀者是否同意這個說法？

　　9. People can buy a very nice outfit in just a couple of minutes , and they can change their outward appearances in a few hours by going to a barbar"s shop or a hairdresser"s . And yet how long will it take to develop creativity , or to become very well educated , or to have interests in areas of knowledge ? You can"t gain these so easily and quickly . It takes years , not just a few minutes .

　　以上只是考生中比較普遍的一些想法和觀點。不能面面俱到。讀者在讀過本文之后可以思考一下，理出自己的思路，然后試著將自己的說法表達出來。這樣做既可以理清思路，又能提高口語表達時所述內容的精確性和用語的準確性。
