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 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 raisehe 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 .

When their living place dries up, they live on the land, said Scott Taylor, a researcher in Florida.The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together and breathe air through their skin before they can find water again.The new scientific discovery came during a trip.We were travelling for fun. And one day I kicked over a log (圆木) and the fish came out. Taylor told reporters by telephone. He said he would make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish(肺鱼) found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in a not active(活跃的) way.
