But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.The expression to “be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used five-hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.“Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.Another common expression, “to hold water,” is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes.“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. It means to not like an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But your wife throws cold water on the idea because she says a new car costs too much.56. The origin of the expression “hot water” has something to do with _. A. housework B. war C. quarrel D. crime57. If someone is in hot water, he might _. A. get into troubleB. be in bath C. have a narrow escapeD. have good luck58. If a friend said sorry for having broken your glasses, you might use the expression “_”.A. to hold water B. be in hot water C. throwing cold waterD. water over the dam59. “Throw cold water” has the same meaning as _.A. encourage B. look down uponC. discourage D. ignore60. Whats the purpose of this text?A. To explain the history of water expressions.B. To introduce some water expressions.C. To tell the difference between water expressions.D. To discuss how water expressions came into being.BAre people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study in 2012. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty.Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age. In a study, people in their eighties reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.61. Whats the conclusion drawn by the study?A. The younger the happier.B. The older the happier.C. Women are happier than men.D. The old are happier than children.62. The happiest people are those who are _.A. in their late seventies or early eightiesB. early in adulthood or just over seventyC. between twenty-two and twenty-fiveD. in their childhood or in their fifties63. Compared to men, women at all ages _.A. have more happiness in their livesB. feel lower levels of happinessC. tend to feel more negative emotionsD. experience more challenges from changes64. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. The reason why happiness rises as growing old.B. People become more grateful while getting old.C. People can better control their moods with age.D. People refuse to recall their unpleasant experiences.65. The study was supposed to prove _.A. who are affected more seriously by growing oldB. the advantages of old ages and young agesC. how people treat happiness at their different agesD. the relationship between sleeplessness and old ageCWe are celebrating this week.
