Cold weather has a great effect, on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word "cold". For centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way. They may dobrutalthings to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion. Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to gel cold feet about being president when you understand the situation. Cold can also affect your shoulder. You "give someone the cold shoulder" when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression 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 if a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and show no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. "Out in the cold" is an expression often heard. It 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. |

For the past several decades, it seems there's been a general consensus on how to get ahead in America: Get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy your own home. But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable? The most recent National Journal poll asked respondents about the American dream, what it takes to achieve their goals, and whether or not they felt a significant amount of control over their ability to be successful. Overwhelmingly, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream—and what it takes to achieve it—looks quite different than it did in the late 20th century. By and large, people felt that their actions and hard work—not outside forces—were the deciding factor in how their lives turned out. But respondents had decidedly mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy. In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority—52 percent—think that young people do not need a four-year college education in order to be successful. Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master's degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of the degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new perspectives and life experiences. Sixty-year-old Will Fendley, who had a successful career in the military and never earned a college degree, thinks "personal drive" is far more important than just going to college. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as an effective high-school education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook, are the necessary ingredients for a successful life in America. 51.It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have _____. A.an advanced academic degree B.an ambition to get ahead C.a firm belief in their dream D.a sense of drive and purpose 52.What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning the American dream? A.More and more Americans are finding it hard to realize. B.It remains alive among the majority of American people. C.Americans' idea of it has changed over the past few decades. D.An increasing number of young Americans are abandoning it. 53.What do Americans now think of the role of college education in achieving success? A.It still remains open to debate. B.It has proved to be beyond doubt. C.It is no longer as important as it used to be. D.It is much better understood now than ever. 54.How do some people view college education these days? A.It promotes gender equality. B.It needs to be strengthened. C.It adds to cultural diversity. D.It helps broaden their minds. 55.What is one factor essential to success in America, according to Will Fendley? A.A desire to learn and to adapt. B.A strong sense of responsibility. C.A willingness to commit oneself. D.A clear aim and high motivation.
