“Cool”is a word with many
meanings．Its old meaning is used to express a
temperature that is a little bit cold．As the
world has changed，the word has had
many
different meaning．
“Cool”can
be used to express feelings of interest in almost
anything．
When you see a
famous car in the street，maybe you will say，“It's
cool．”You may
think，“He's so cool，”when you
see your favourite footballer．
We all maximize（扩大） the meaning of“cool”．You
can use it instead of many words
such as “new”
or “surprising”．Here's an interesting story we can
use to show
the way the word is used．A teacher
asked her students to write about the
waterfall
（瀑布）they had visited．On one student's
paper was Just the one sentence，“It's
so
cool．Maybe he thought it was the best way to show
what he saw and felt．
But the
story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words．Without
“cool”，some people
have no words to show the
same meaning．So it is quite important to keep some
credibility（可信性）．Can you think of many other
words that make your life as
colourful as the
word “cool”？ I can．And I think they are also very
cool．
1．We know that the word
A．only one meaning B．no
meanings
.. .
. .
C．many different meanings D．the same
meaning
2．In the passage，the
word“express”means“________”.
A．see B．show C．know D．feel
3．If you are _______ something，you may
say，“It’s cool.”
A．interested
in B．angry about
C．afraid of
D．unhappy with
4．The writer
takes an example to show he is ________ the way
the word is used．
A．pleased
with B．strange to
C．worried
about D．careful with
5．In the
passage，the writer suggests（暗示）that the word
“cool”________．
A．can be used
instead of many words
..
.
. .
B．usually means something interesting
C．can make your life colourful
D．may not be as cool as it

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive
car from his brother as a
Christmas present．On
Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a
street urchin
was walking around the shining
car．“Is this your car，Paul？”he asked．
Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me
for Christmas.” The boy was
surprised．“You
mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't
cost you nothing？
Boy，I wish…” He hesitated．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to
wish for．He was going to wish he had a
brother
like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul
greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on，“that
I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked
at the boy in surprise, then he said again,
“Would you like to take a ride in my
car？”
“Oh yes，I'd love that．”
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his
eyes shining，said，“Paul，would
you mind driving
in front of my house？”
Paul
smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy
wanted．He wanted to show his
neighbours that
he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was
wrong again. “Will
you stop where those two
steps are？” the boy asked．
..
.
. .
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while
Paul heard him coming back, but he
was not
coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled
brother. He sat him down
on the step and
pointed to the car.
“There she
is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His
brother gave it to him
for Christmas and it
didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to
give you one
just like it…then you can see for
yourself all the nice things in the Christmas
windows that I've been trying to tell you
about.”
Paul got out and
lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The
shining-eyed older
brother climbed in beside
him and the three of them began an unforgettable
holiday
ride.
