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 favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can 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 (瀑布) 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 (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1. We know that the word “cool”has ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning2. In the passage, the word “express”means“________”.A. seeB. showC. knowD. feel3. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It's cool.”A. interested inB. angry aboutC. afraid ofD. unhappy with4. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used.A. pleased withB. strange toC. worried aboutD. careful with5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_________.A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seemsFootball is, I do think, the most favorite game in England: one has only to go to one of the important 1 tosee this.
