Jim didn't like to be kissed. But people loved to kiss Jim! Both of his grandmothers and all of his aunts would kiss his face and say “You are just the cutest thing.”

Jim’s best friend, Ben, lived next door. Ben would always laugh at him. “Kissy Face! Kissy Face!”

Jim didn’t know what to do. He tried hiding when family came to visit. But his father always called him in to say hello. He tried wearing an old Halloween mask(面具), but his mother made him take it off so his grandmothers and aunts could see his “cute little face.” Jim even tried to make his face and hands sticky（黏糊的），but the grandmothers and aunts just wiped off the stickiness and kissed him even harder.

One day, Jim’s mother told him she had a wonderful surprise. There was going to be a new baby in the family. Jim was going to be a big brother. Jim listened but didn’t say anything. He wasn’t sure whether a baby was a wonderful surprise or not.

The big day finally came. Jim’s parents brought the new baby home. So the whole family held a big party but this time not for Jim. Soon the whole family arrived. Jim felt worried about being kissed. But the grandmothers and aunts didn’t look at Jim. They all went straight to the new baby and said, “Oh, you are just the cutest thing!” and kept kissing the baby’s face. Then one of the aunts came over to Jim. “Well, you’re a big brother now,” she said. Instead of kissing his face, she just patted his shoulder and smiled.

25、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.

28、   Parents often say, I don't understand why my child is acting this way. We've given him everything in the world, and he just wants more. He's n【1】 happy. He doesn't enjoy what he has."

For some reason, we often feel that if we give our child everything he wants to keep him happy, he should behave the way we want him to. An important part of m【2】. children's emotional(情感的) needs is to set limits often and firmly in a loving way. Parts who learn to set limits in a loving way set them more often because they don't have to wait until they've had it up to here to do so.

A therapeutic(治疗的) way of setting limits is called ACT: acknowledge(承认) the feeling.

Communicate the limit,and target(把……作为目标) the c【3】. Necessarily, you're saying to the child, "I understand h【4】 you feel. It's OK to feel that way, but you can act that way when you feel like that. You can act this way when you feel like that. "But it's also important to communicate this message in a loving way, not an a【5】way.

Using ACT limit setting teaches children to cope with their emotions and to find proper behavior expressions that don't hurt the children t【6】. It can also be used to teach children to delay gratification (满意). Here are some examples of how it works if your child wants a toy when you're at the store and you don't want to buy it, you can say, "(A) You love that toy and want it right now. (C) But we're not spending any money on toys today. (T) You can put it on your wish list for birthday or Christmas." Using this skill, you'll learn to set reasonable limits that work. If you set limits too s【7】, you're also more likely to give in. because you feel guilty. If you don't follow through with a result or you make one that's too strict, you teach your child not to believe you.
