There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy.The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers   36 a hostile eye.On one occasion, Neil, out taking a   37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own.The boy, not noticing he was no longer   38 , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows.Turning, he saw Neil.Instead of finding himself   39  at angrily as he expected, the boy was   40   to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window.The boy had to   41  to get the window repaired, so did Neil.  42  he thought this a small price to pay for   43   a bond between himself and the boy, whose   44 improved afterwards.
Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be   45  and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children.Not everyone is so   46 .Willie Russell, the   47 , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly   48  from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher.On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a(n)   49  experience for one so new to the job.Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window.When the boy saw that he had been   50   by a teacher, his face fell.  51  for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil.Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window.Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being   52  by flying stones.
Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his   53  and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone.It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to   54  playwriting.Most of his plays are very imaginative and  55 .A bit like this story, in fact.

For centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions.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 emotion, as if taking someone's 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 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.
