If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is not as easy as you might think. That's because the word "smart" has many meanings.
For example, someone could say you look smart. That means they like what you are wearing. For example, if you fall off your bike and hurt your leg, you might shout, "Ouch, that smarts!" But the most common meaning of "smart" is to be very clever. So when your friends get good grades at school, we can call them "smart".
Being smart, however, goes beyond (超出……的范围) the classroom.
Some people are book smart. They have attended school for many years and have many degrees. They are well-read. They often know the names of great thinkers, scientists and other famous people in history. They know facts and information that many other people don't.
Sometimes book-smart people are not so smart when it comes to life skills and social skills. They may not be able to deal with people or real-life problems as well as street-smart people. Street-smart people may not have read too many books, but they also have something attractive — the ability to use their experience in many different situations.
Whether you are book smart, street smart or both, being smart is a good thing.
A. People can be smart in different ways. B. It depends on how and when you use it. C. However, being book smart is not everything. D. They are good at dealing with practical problems. E. If something is smart, it can be hurtful or unkind. |
Do you want to be book smart, street smart or both? Why?(第二题用15词左右回答)

There is also a hopscotch(跳房子游戏) board painted bright blue. On a back fence, you can see a wall painting with words like"Love" and"Peace" and the students' handprints on it.
