A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car,Paul?”he asked．
Paul answered,“Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…” He hesitated．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise,then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes,I'd love that．”
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,“Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car.But Paul was wrong again.“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps.Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled brother.He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent.And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

“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 meaning．
“Cool”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 favourite footballer．
We all maximize（扩大） the meaning of“cool”．You can 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（瀑布）they had visited．On one student's paper was Just the one sentence,“It's so cool．Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt．
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 credibility（可信性）．Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”?I can．And I think they are also very cool．

我有一个叫paul的朋友,他收到了哥哥送他的圣诞礼物-——一辆昂贵的汽车.平安夜那天,paul从办公室走出来,一个男孩儿正绕着那辆闪闪发光的新车徘徊,“paul,这是你的车么?”他问.
Paul回答说,“是啊,我哥哥送我的圣诞节礼物.”男孩儿有些惊讶.“你是说你没花一分钱你哥哥就把它给你了么?天啊,我真希望……”他沉默了.
当然,Paul明白男孩儿希望的是什么,他是想有一个也像这样的哥哥.但男孩儿接下来的话让paul震撼了.
“我希望,”男孩儿说,“我能做一位这样的哥哥”paul惊讶的看着他,接着他说,“愿意让我载你一程么”
“哦,当然,当然啦!”
车开了一会儿,男孩儿转个头,眼睛里有些闪烁,他说,“能开到我家房子前面么”
Paul笑了笑,自以为明白男孩心思,他一定是想向他的邻居炫耀一下自己能坐车回家.然而paul又一次想错了.“能把车停到有两阶台阶的那个地方么?”男孩儿问道.
然后男孩跑上了梯子.过了一小会儿,paul听到男孩跑下来的声音,不过他跑的并不快,他背着自己残疾的小弟弟.然后把他放到台阶上,指着paul的车让弟弟看.
“看,她在那儿,弟弟,正如我刚才在楼上告诉你的,他的哥哥把她送给他作为圣诞礼物,而他一分钱都没有花.将来,哥哥也会送给你一辆这样的车……这样,你就可以自己坐在车上亲眼去看看圣诞橱窗里那些琳琅满目的商品了,我经常努力给你描述那些圣诞饰品呢不是么”
Paul走下车,把男孩的小弟弟抱到车的前座,已经是泪光闪闪的哥哥也上车,在他弟弟身旁坐下,然后三个人开始了一次令人难忘的节日兜风.
“Cool”这个词有很多种含义,它最初形容温度有一点冷.随着时间的推移这个词有了许多不同的含义.
“Cool”可以用来表达几乎所有事情对你的吸引.
当你在大街上看见一辆很潮流的车,也许你会说,“it’s cool.”当你看见一个著名的足球明星,你会想“他太酷啦!”我们所有人都扩大了“cool”的含义,它可以被用来取代很多词,例如“new（新的）”“surprising（让人惊讶的）”
关于cool这个词的使用有一个很有意思的故事.一位老师让他的学生写一篇作文描写他们先前参观的瀑布,一个学生的作文纸上只有一句话“它太酷了.”也许这个学生认为这是自己能真切表达感受的最佳方式.
但是这个故事也说明了我们词汇的匮乏,没有cool这个单词,有些人可能就无法找到其他有相同意思的词语.所以保持可信性是非常重要的.你能想出其他使你的生活像cool一样精彩的单词么?我能,而且我想那些词也是非常cool的.
