A
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 merciless ways. 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 for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the 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 get 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 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.
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, that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

Bargaining is an art at Xiu Shui Market in Beijing. The following tips can help you get good offers for most things you buy, especially for clothing.
Be aware that the starting price offered by the seller is at least 40% over the general price acceptable. It’s usually 80% over. It can be up to 150% over. So, always try to drop the seller’s offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
Have an idea of the value of what you want. You can consult your Chinese friends or the hotel staff about the price. You may not be able to get the lowest prices stated at Xiu Shui Market, especially on weekends or festival seasons when there are lots of tourists around.
Do walk away once you’ve offered your final price while the seller is not ready to accept. If you get called back, you know you are close. If you do not get called back, go to a similar stall(攤位) and try again with a slightly higher price. Note that if you’ve made a deal, you am then expected to buy the item.
You will help your chances at getting a good price by being confident, patient, and friendly. Treat it as a kind of game to get the most out of it—getting angry or rode will never help to bring the price down.
56. When can you get the lowest price at Xiu Shui Market according to the passage?
A. When the sellers are busy. B. On crowded weekends.
C. When there’re few buyers. D. On festival seasons.
57. The underlined part “a deal” (in Paragraph 4) most probably means .
A. an appointment with someone B. an agreement in business
C. a choice in shopping D. a delivery of goods
58. ff the seller accepts your final price, you should .
A. walk away and wait for the seller to call you back
B. go on bargaining for a lower price
C. go to a similar stall for a better price
D. pay the seller for what you want
59. From the tips we can learn that the seller’s offer may be affected by .
A. the buyer’s manners B. the seller’s position C. Chinese friends D. hotel staff

So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to
undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children
to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities
about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop
trying to do the impossible."
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function.
The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for
children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a
public activity: It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed
language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process
is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching
that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all
teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful,
enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and
learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is
eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children
are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.
