You never said “I’m leaving” In Life I loved you dearly

You never said “goodbye” In death I love you still

You were gone before I knew it In my heart you hold a place

And only God knew why That no one could ever fill

There are no words to tell you It broke my heart to lose you

Just what I feel inside But you didn’t go alone

The shock, the hurt, the anger For part of me went with you

Might gradually subside (平息) The day God took you home

Thousands of times I’ll need you Things will never be the same

Thousands of times I’ll cry And although it hurts so bad

If Love alone could have saved you I will smile whenever I hear your name

You never would have died And take pride you were my dad

In death I love you still

In my heart you hold a place,

That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you,

But you didn’t go alone

For part of me went with you,

The day God took you home.

Things will never be the same

And although it hurts so bad

I will smile whenever I hear your name

And take pride you were my dad.

For centuries, the body’s blood has been connected closely with the feelings. People who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded.

Cold can affect other parts of the body. But 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 CEO of a company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned (辞职), and all the work of the company will be your responsibility (责任). You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO 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 the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise (遵守诺言) 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. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation.

“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.

1.How many expressions about ―cold‖ are mentioned in the passage?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Seven.

2.If you ―get cold feet‖, it means “ ______”

A. your feet are very cold

B. you offer much of yourself to anyone

C. you miss something that everybody else got

D. you are afraid to do something you have decided to do

3.You may think of an unfriendly person as “ ______”

A. a cold fish B. the cold feet

C. the cold shoulder D. being out in the cold

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Ways of making friends.

B. Advice on keeping warm.

C. Expressions connected with ―cold‖.

D. Opinions about cold-hearted people.

Do you want to cure all the diseases in the world? It seems like an impossible job, but Priscilla Chan is trying really hard to achieve it.

Chan is a 32-year-old woman from the United States. Many people may know her as the wife of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. But Chan herself has done a lot to help people.

Chan and Zuckerberg said in September they would give out $3 billion(20 billion yuan) in the next 10 years to help deal with all of the world’s diseases. As a doctor, Chan was a big driver in this decision. “We hope that all of our children can live long and healthy lives in the future,” she said.

Besides health, Chan also cares about children’s education. Before becoming a doctor, Chan taught science to fourth and fifth graders at a school in California for a year. This year she started a project called The Primary School. It provides education for children from kindergarten to the twelfth grade.

Chan herself knows how important education is to a child. She has a Chinese father and a Vietnamese mother. Her parents didn’t receive much education. But they worked hard to make sure Chan and their other two daughters would have the best opportunities. Chan went to Harvard University in 2003 and now works as a doctor. “ I realized that I was so lucky to be what I was,” said Chan. “so now, I will try my best to help others. I hope they can also have their opportunities to reach their dreams and be what they would like to be.”
