        A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On
    Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shining car. "Is this
    your car, Paul?" he asked. 
        Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your
    brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…" He hesitated. 
        Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But
    what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. 
        "I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said
    again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" 
        "Oh yes,I'd love that." 
        After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of
    my house?" 
        Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he
    could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy
    asked.
        He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He
    was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car. 
        "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost
    him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things
    in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about." 
        Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside
    him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

        "Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold.
    As the world has changed, the word has had many different meaning. 
        "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 had ________.

    A. only one meaning

    [     ]
    A. interested in
    B. angry about
    C. afraid of
    D. unhappy with
    4. The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.
    [     ]
