People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason,and no emo-tion,as if taking someones life as nothing.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 de-cided 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 youre re-sponsibility. 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,instesd 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, unemo-tional 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 abut 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.56.There are expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage. A.3 B.4 C.6 D.757.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 manC.I think he is a cold fish D.Im likely to get cold feet 58.If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa,you will say . 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 59.We can use the expression“ ”to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.A.cold-blooded B.cold shoulder C.cold feet D.cold-hearted 60.The topic of this passage is about .A.the relationship between cold and our bodyB.some expressions about friendshipC.some expressions connected with coldD.how cold weather comes into beingB From a very early age,some children exhibit better self-control than others.Now,a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a childs low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years. Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now .They observed the level of self-control the youngstrrs displayed. Parents,teachers, even the kids them-selves,scored the youngstrers on measures like“acting before thinking” and “Persistensce in resching goals.” The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand. “The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,” Moffitt said, “and they had the worst financial situation,They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a sin-gle parent on a very low income.” Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and werent just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.Moffitt said its still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other resesrchers have found that its mostly a learned behavior,with rela-tively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in families because chil-dren with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.61.From the first two paragraphs we learn that . A.the research has been carried out for five years B.self-control in kids tends to determine their future C.self-control was assessed by childrens intelligence D.childrens self-control is almost the same at early age62.Chidren with low self-control are more likely to .

A.only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future B.scientists know well why some children have better self-control C.self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity D.willpower as a child really influences peoples chances of adulthood64.What can be in ferred from the passage? A.Self-control cannot be taught in schools. B.The study is restricted within few participants. C.Its never too late to deal with self-control problems. D.Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.65.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.Childs self-control predicts future health,success B.Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age C.Childrens development cannot be changed by teachers D.How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schoolsD “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people undertand what it is to move.”said David Belle,the founder of parkour(跑酷）。 Do you love running?It is a good exercise,yet many people find it boring .But what if making your morning jog a creative one?Like jumping from walls and over gaps,and ground rolls?Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale?Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks ove obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes,thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to anoth-er as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body .Parkour is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city ,they may jump over fences,run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds ,but its participants see park-our much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念）behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must detemine your destination,go straight,jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully.A parkour lover said,“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”Another hilosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.66Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .
