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．

　　26．There are _________ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage．

　　A．3

　　B．4

　　C．6

　　D．7

　　27．When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”．

　　A．I give him the cold shoulder

　　B．I think he is a cold-blooded man

　　C．I think he is a cold fish
