there are so many charactors have more then just 1 pronounciations.

"熟"is one of them.

between the pronounciations of "shu"and "shou", when 熟 is used in a word it should be pronounced as"shu" e.g. 熟悉（shu2 xi1）,成熟（cheng2 shu2）; when it used alone, as the extent of sumthing, it should be prounced as"shou"e.g. 這個雞蛋熟shou不熟？/这个鸡蛋熟shou不熟？（zhe ge ji dan shou bu shou/ is this egg cooked or not?）.however there's no clear line between them when speaking nowadays in china, which is quit different from other multi-pronounced charators.
