Question

15．Unless you think you're the smartest，who doesn't want to be smarter？Of course I want to be smarter too，so I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from．（36）D．Here are the signs of smart people：
They don't talk as much as you，because they know they got smart by listening．
They probably do social media．Not always，but probably．（37）A They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise won't have come across．
^（38）F They never bother their head about the problem of"work-life balance"and somehow manage to seem 100% employed in what they're doing，even though you know they're taking proper steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced．
They know they are the smartest person in the room，but they don't spend their time talking about that．
（39）B That is，they challenge themselves to see if they can make everyone else the smartest person in the room，too．
They never，ever，under any circumstances，make you look stupid，even though it would be easy to do so．They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself．
If they are managers，they will make every effort to get their people smarter，more connected and more popular than them in their teams．They're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic （相互促进的）．（40）G

A．It is not only another chance to listen．
B．Instead，they take it as a personal challenge．
C．They know it is an advantage to them．
D．Now I have got an answer about whether someone's smart or not．
E．They'll be smiling even when things go very badly wrong．
F．They deal with home，work and personal interests perfectly．
G．They will also make sure their smart people look smarter than them for the same reason．
