Exercise 11, Judgments (page 78)
“Never judge a book by its cover.” This popular1 English proverb is so true2. We often get a false3
impression of a person. We see someone with old clothes and we think that person is poor4. We see
someone with trendy5 clothes and we think that person is rich. It is easy6 to forget that the trendy
person may have credit card debt. The person with old clothes could be extremely rich7. Some people
just like to feel comfortable8! Some people don’t smile a lot, so people think they are unfriendly9.
Maybe they are just shy10. Remember, it is what is inside that is important11!

Exercise 13, Amazing Art (page 79)
The people in the paintings looked very stiff and unrealistic1. There was no sense of perspective. Red,
gold, and black were the usual2 colours. After the Renaissance, exciting3 new colours and interesting4
subjects became normal5. Painters celebrated nature, history, and mythology. A wonderful6 sense of
perspective developed. People looked real7. Later, in Impressionist paintings, people did everyday
activities. Then modern art arrived and it transformed our perceptions. People had strange shapes—
cubic8 faces with only one eye, thin legs like sticks and triangular9 bodies. Even if you don’t like
modern art, you can never be bored10.
Exercise 14, Natural Deception (page 79)
A green butterfly will go to a leafy tree and a red butterfly will find a red flower. This dramatic
camouflage protects them from hungry animals. Tiny frogs change colour to look like venomous frogs.
Animals who like eating frogs won’t go near them. Some snakes look just like their poisonous cousins.
They look dangerous, but they are completely harmless. Even flowers are deceptive. One type of
exotic orchid makes itself attractive with its scent, so that at night, blind bats drink its nectar.
