“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

story we can use to show the way the word

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

________ the way the word is used．
A．pleased with B．strange to
C．worried about
D．careful with

passage，the writer suggests（暗示）that the word
“cool”________．

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.
