Hot is a simple, easily understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word hot. But not always, as we shall see.
[2]The words hot potato, for example, give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression, hot potato.
The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes. Imagine trying to carrv a hot potato in your
hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so. Some publicly argued problems are high1y emotional. The
problems must be treated carefully, or they will be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with
them. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes
are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut. And that also can make a politician very
unpopular. The questions must be dealt with carefully, the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
[3]Another expression is not so hot. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer "not so hot."
What she means is she does not feel well. Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like somethin.
You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means ______.
[4]A hot shot is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. He is very sure he can
succeed. But often he fails. The expression was born in the military forces. A hot shot was a soldier who fired
without aiming carefully.
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. A person who becornes angry easily is called a
hothead. An angry person's neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar.

| In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 1 a different life. It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 2 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 3 time I had let such moments pass. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, "What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 4 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 6 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 7 me. Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 8 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 9 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 10 to me. Or what he might 11 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything. What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 12 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 13 never hearing him put his 14 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15 to tell a son somethin from the heart? My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 17 of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed 18 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 20 . | ||||
