Dash of Hope
”Dash” is a symbol which represents every day we‘ve spent alive on earth. Therefore， how you spend your ”dash” is important.
Recently I36about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life， I couldn‘t help but feel it was not by37， nor happenstance（意外事件）， that she had been named ”Hope”. The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity38in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others.39I never had the opportunity to meet her， I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very， very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was40a ”wish” in early December 2010 by the ”Make-A-Wish” Foundation after being41that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However， when she found out that more than 15042in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved ， she unselfishly used her wish to43that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done44January 16， 2011. Unfortunately， however， the organization informed her that her45request could not be granted as the funds were simply46 . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one47dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish.48， but not discouraged， she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring49to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children， and eventually50as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51the story of this caring young girl who had52the hearts of so many and as word spread， the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools， corporations and various organizations assisted in53money to help make Hope‘s dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others， not only54， but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life， ”A Celebration of Hope” on January 16， 2011 ， the55was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!

第三部分 阅读理解（共30小题；每小题1.5分，满分45分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
For centuries， the body‘s blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings， are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example， the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason， and no emotion， as if taking someone‘s life as nothing．
Cold can affect other parts of the body．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 president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned， and all the work of the organizations will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president 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 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 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．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who， without feelings， broke the hearts of their lovers．
”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．
56．There are _____ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage．
A．3B．4C．6D．7
