About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was working as a practice student at my University’s Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register (收银机) in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of set on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and main body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots.
As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen.
All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly(即刻) gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smiles, love and warmth.

For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.
Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.
Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise--he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
1.There are _____ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage.
A. 3 B. 4 C. 6 D. 7
2.When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”.
A. I give him the cold shoulder
B. I think he is a cold-blooded man
C. I think he is a cold fish
D. I’m likely to get cold feet
3.If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.
A. she is a cold-blooded killer
B. she gets cold feet
C. she is a cold fish
D. she is out in the cold
4.We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.
A. cold-blooded B. cold shoulder
C. cold feet D. cold-hearted
5.The topic of this passage is about _________.
A. the relationship between cold and our body
B. some expressions about friendship
C. some expressions connected with cold
D. how cold weather comes into being
