“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to 1C a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has 2A , however, the word has expanded to 3B many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of 4B in almost anything.
“Cool”是一个有很多意思的单词。它通常是用来表达温度很低的意思。随着世界的发展，这个单词也有了越来越多的意义。“Cool”可以用来表达对于任何东西感兴趣的感受。
When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help 5D , “It’s cool.” You might think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your 6C footballer.
当你在路上看到一辆名车，也许你会忍不住就赞叹道：“太COOL了!”。或者当你看到最喜欢的足球巨星，你也会心里感叹道：“他真是太COOL了!”
We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it 7B many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here’s an interesting story we can see 8C illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 9C the
waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 10D , “It’s so cool.” 11D he thought it was 12D to describe 13B he saw and felt.
我们扩大了“COOL”这一单词的意思。你可以用它来代替诸如“NEW”(新的)或者“AMAZING”(奇妙的)这样的单词。我们可以用一个有趣的故事来看看这个单词的使用：一个老师叫他的学生描述刚刚游览过的瀑布。有一个学生的试卷上就写了一句话：“It’s so cool.”(“太冷了”或者“太酷了”)也许他认为这是可以用来形容他的所见所感的一句话了。
14D the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. 15A “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 16B to improve our word strength to maintain some 17C .
但是这个例子也证明了单词和表达的缺点所在。不用“COOL”这个词，很多人不知道用什么词或者句子来表达出同样的意思。因此我们有必要改进我们的文字内涵来保持一些意义。
As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special 18B that people can accept easily. Excepting “cool,” can you think of many words that 19D your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very 20A .

Promptness (迅速) and punctuality (准时) are major expectations in the American workplace. People who 1B appointments are considered to be dependable, and those who do not are seen as 2C . It is considered polite to 3A if one is going to be even a few minutes late. Arriving ten minutes late to a 4B business appointment (without having called ahead of time) is considered rude and conveys a 5C of organization. Some companies have been 6A to fine their executives 7B tardiness (缓慢;迟;拖拉) to meetings. This American cultural concern with every minute 8D with other cultures’ views about time. In many parts of Latin America, for example, 9B thirty to forty-five minutes late is not necessarily seen as 10D . Saying that one ran 11C an old friend could be a 12A excuse for tardiness but such an explanation would not be 13A in the American work-a-day world, 14B “time is money”.
在美国的工作环境中，迅速和准时的十分推崇的。守约的人被认为是可靠的，而那些失约的人则被认为是不可靠的。如果迟到，就算是几分钟，也必须电话告知，这是礼貌的做法。如果在一个预先定好的商务会议中迟到10分钟(而且没有提前打电话告知)，这会被认为是无礼的行为，而且是缺乏组织性的表现。有些公司会对那些开会迟到的主管采取罚款的惩罚，这是很多人都知道的。这个美国文化比其他文化更加注重时间概念。比如在拉丁美洲的一些地区，迟到30到40分
