"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.
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 favorite 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 how he felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
1 We know that the word "cool" has had________。( )
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. worried about D. unhappy with
4 The writer takes an example to show he is ______the way the words is useD.( )
A. pleased with B. strange to
C. worried about D. unhappy 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 important
C. can make your life colorful
D. may not be as cool as it seems

Australian colour consultant（顾问）Kylie Bartnicki is talking with a group of women in Pudong, Shanghai, who are interested in how colours affect people's confidence and help form（形成）people's first impressions（印象）．
Kylie tr
aces（追溯）back her interest in colours to when she went for her
first job interview at age 18. "My mother bought me a new red top to wear
