Although there may be 1，000"Sweeping Old Ladies"in 1，000people's minds，it cannot prevent the"Sweeping Old Lady"from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet．

1．Indian's snake charmers （耍蛇者） are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．The charmers，who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子），used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins．
The government is now considering a plan to train the snake charmers，as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife．There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders （入侵者）．
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest，"said Behar Dutt，a professor behind the plans，"if a policeman doesn't catch them，animal rights activists report them．"
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hanging from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target （目标） for police．
The fate of Shisha Nath，56，from Badarpur，a village just outside of Delhi，is typical of practitioners （从业者） of the dying art．"I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，"he said．"Now it's hard to earn even for a day．My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．But it's become impossible．"
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune，western India，where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge．
More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers．
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，"said Prakash Nath，who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader．

20．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 do brutal things 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 1he 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．
