Question

阅读理解 　　“Cool” is a word with many meanings．Its basic meaning is used to express a temperature that is neither cold nor hot．As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings． 　　“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 favorite footballer． 　　We all maximize the meaning of “cool”．You 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 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 of words．Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning．So it is quite important to keep some credibility．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) In daily conversation the word “cool” is used to express ________． [　　] A． different feelings B． feelings of interest C． a little bit surprise D． feelings of cold (2) When we say the weather is cool, we mean that ________． [　　] A． we have a comfortable weather B． we feel a bit cold C． we feel a bit hot D． we are comfortable (3) The underlined word “scarcity” in the sentence may mean ________． [　　] A． seldom happening B． poor memory C． being not enough, shortage D． being not found easily
