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 organizations 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.
小题1: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 |
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 |
A.cold-blooded | B.cold shoulder | C.cold feet | D.cold-hearted |

Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as …”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
小题1:From the passage we can learnt that_______.
A. people spend too much money on sports
the development of sport is slower than any other activity
most people enjoy sport because they can earn money
nowadays sport is not merely a pastime for people
小题2:Nowadays, the word “sport” means “________” .
A.what people do in their spare time | B.hunting wild animals and birds |
C.organized games | D.something people are paid to do |
A.fun | B.different | C.money | D.keeping fit |
A.the stars get more money from advertising |
B.the word “sport” meant hunting animals |
C.professional sportsmen are paid for what they do |
D.only a few sportsmen can earn $500,000 a year |
And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.
In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.
Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
“We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.
The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.
The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.
小题1:The passage mainly tells us ______.
A.watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy |
B.the advantages of fuel made from watermelons |
C.Western countries aim at producing biofuels |
D.watermelons could be used to make fuel |
A.about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre |
B.sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year |
C.half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy |
D.five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain |
A.fresh | B.sweet | C.surface | D.inside |
A.it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons |
B.Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go |
C.watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel |
D.the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources |
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you"re very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it"s no one"s business but your own what your body is like-finally, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, find which aspects of your appearance you can change and which you can"t change and need to accept-like their height, for example, or their shoe size.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a pan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.
When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes.

A.most teens like to have a special body image |

His first fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted (收养) by the chief of his tribe (部族) and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination ( 种族歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law (种族隔离法), colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition (反对) to the system Mandela was arrested (被捕) and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and become the president of the country after the first elections were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer (拳击手) and fought in the ring when he was young.
“ Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat (撤退),” he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skilful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
小题1:Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _____.
A.winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa |
B.uniting South Africa |
C.organizing a government in South Africa |
D.controlling the spread of AIDS |
A.could easily have been the president of South Africa |
B.could still have lived a happy life |
C.could have been in a difficult situation |
D.would have been an excellent boxer |
A.continues to help the black people with the political struggle |
B.is taking a position in a music group |
C.is taking on the world’s greatest fight against AIDS |
D.is preparing for the next election of president |
A.Struggle is his life. |
B.Sports make his fame. |
C.Fight for equal rights. |
D.Great fighter against government. |
A fad diet is a diet that suddenly becomes popular, usually because it promises people that they will lose a lot of weight overnight. Although dieters may really show weight loss from a fad diet, they will almost certainly get back the weight if their usual eating habits (习惯) remain unchanged. Moreover, fad diets continuously call for special products of questionable value or for “health foods” that may cost twice as much as supermarket(超市) foods. Worse yet, certain fad diets don"t include nutrients(营养)good for health. People have been known to become very ill as a result of following medically unhealthy diets.
The worse fact of fad diets, though, is that they keep people who are over-weight or sick from receiving the medical care that they truly need.
小题1:The word “fad” in the first sentence means ______.
A.new | B.wonderful |
C.popular quickly | D.loved by people |
A.people refuse to accept fad diets |
B.fad diets can help people to lose weight |
C.a man can lose weight after eating a fad diet |
D.fad diets are now welcomed by people |
A.are very helpful |
B.are not healthy diet |
C.won"t cost much |
D.include lots of nutrients |
A.that fad dieters are often overweight |
B.fad dieters need medical care if they are overweight or sick |
C.how fad dieters get sick |
D.overweight or sick fad dieter can’t get medical care in time |
