A
I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by fierce strokes（猛力地划） to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. “Do you know what you have done?
” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, he has got his football honor.”
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small?
He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, “My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

A. looked like an animal B. was fond of games C. was of similar size D. was good at sports

Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and bodies work, maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. There is an expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold feeling on your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned 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 him. You treat him in a distant cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back towards 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（冷漠的） 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. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.

A. weather man B. a person from a cold area C. language expert D. Canadian

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun!
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use:
it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade
