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.

小题3: A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
Another common expression, “to hold water”, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. 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. 小题4:
“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. 小题5: 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.

核心考点
举一反三
Students go to colleges and universities to have valuable experiences and learn to live in their own. Go to colleges often means having the opportunity to meet with different peoples from different parts of the country. They learn to communicating and co-operate with each other. For most students, we guess, it is the first time that they had been away home. They are faced by many new situations and have to learn to solve them independently, making decisions on our own and dealing with various things themselves. So colleges and universities help with them grow up.
People communicate in words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face show you are happy but friendly. Tears in eyes tell the others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want say something. Other things should also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to carry. Signs on the door tell you if to go in or out. Have you ever seen that there are a lot of sign around you and that you receive messages from it all the time?
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you.I"m just looking.”? Both you and she know that if you aren"t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please”
小题2: If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that--nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”.
小题3: Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”.Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
小题4: At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to
yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.小题5: One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence, opinions are one’s own personalreactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A.Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting. |
B.It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study. |
C.You remember better when you know what you" re reading. |
D.In other words, a good reader is a critical reader. |
