People all over the world love to talk about the weather. Today, we talk about expressions that come from extreme winter weather.
Winters in the northern United States are cold and snowy. Sometimes, the snows come with extremely strong winds. These snowstorms are called blizzards. It is difficult to see through the fast blowing snow of a blizzard. So, they are often described as blinding.
The first such use was in 1870. An especially violent and heavy snowstorm struck the state of Iowa. This storm was the worst winter storm in a long time. A newspaper editor in a small Iowa town called the terrible storm a blizzard.
Even though blizzards can be dangerous, some people still enjoy the excitement caused by this extreme weather. But no one likes to be snowed.
Snow as a verb means to tell someone many pleasant but false statements. This action is also called a snow job. If someone tries to snow you, you could say they are being cold, meaning their actions are rough, mean or unfeeling.
5. Which word is used to describe the snow of a blizzard?
6. When does the first use of the word "blizzard" begin?
7. What does the phrase "snow job" mean in the passage ?
选项
A、To tell someone something true.
B、To tell someone something pleasant.
C、To tell someone some pleasant but false statements.
D、To tell someone some beautiful and happy things.
