For centuries, the body’s blood has been connected closely with the feelings. People who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded.
Cold can affect other parts of the body. But 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 CEO of a company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned (辞职), and all the work of the company will be your responsibility (责任). You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO 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 the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise (遵守诺言) 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. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation.
“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.How many expressions about ―cold‖ are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Seven.
2.If you ―get cold feet‖, it means “ ______”
A. your feet are very cold
B. you offer much of yourself to anyone
C. you miss something that everybody else got
D. you are afraid to do something you have decided to do
3.You may think of an unfriendly person as “ ______”
A. a cold fish B. the cold feet
C. the cold shoulder D. being out in the cold
4.What’s the passage mainly about?

C. Expressions connected with ―cold‖.
D. Opinions about cold-hearted people.

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse(藉口): “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.
1.When a person in America asks “How are you?” he or she wants to hear “ ”
A. How are you? B. Hello. C. I don’t know. D. Fine.
2.When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say“ .”
A. You are wrong. I disagree
B. I’m not sure
C. I’m sure I disagree
D. No, I disagree
3.A polite way to finish talk is to say“ .”
A. You have to go now
B. I want to hang up
C. I have to go now
D. I don’t want to talk any more
4.When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone’s at the door.” the person may be________.
A. giving an excuse
B. hurting someone’s feeling
C. ill
D. asking you a question
5.The rule of the game of language is probably .
A. Always say what you mean
B. Don’t disagree with people
C. Never say exactly what you’re thinking
D. Be polite
