“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. It can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It's cool.” You may think, “He's so cool,”when you see your favorite football player. We all maximize the meaning of “cool”. You use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student's paper was just the sentence, “It's cool.”But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some creditability(可信性).

Social Customs

  The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. This is often true for women as well as for men. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman and so will most Americans.

  Neither the British nor the Americans object to (反对) standing in a queue, at the post office, the movies, the bank or anywhere. Promptness is important both in England and America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time or calls up to explain why he will be late or why he can't come. Of course, these two peoples have other customs that are different: the Americans have “coffee breaks”, the British more often have “tea breaks”, for example. But there is much more that they have in common.

Is it bad for your health? A short time ago, a test was given in the USA. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kind of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.

  The results show that if a person eats a fight breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
