My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle．It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week．And my first real job，when I was six years old，was  36  the diners’ shoes．My father had done it when he was young，so he taught me  37  to do it efficiently，telling me to  38  to reshine the shoes if the customer wasn’t  39  .

Working in the restaurant was a cause of great   40   because I was also working for the good of the family．But my father  41  that I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team．I  42  to be punctual，hard-working，and polite to the  43  ．

I was  44  paid for the work I did at the restaurant．One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he  45  give me $10 a week．He said，“OK．How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And  46  the times you bring in your friends for free soft drinks?” He  47  I owed him about $40 a week．

I remember returning to Seattle after being  48  in the US Army for about two years．I had just been promoted to Captain at that time．And full of pride，I walked into my parents’ restaurant，but the  49  thing Dad said was，“How about your  50  up tonight?” I couldn’t  51  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t   52 as far as Dad was concerned，I was just  53   member of the team．I reached for the mop(拖把)．Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a  54  is above all．It has nothing to do with  55  that team is involved in a family restaurant or the US Army．

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 rise—he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．
