26、 【小题 4】 B Watching television makes it easier for toddlers（学走路的孩子） to kick and scream, according to a U.S. study. Children under two should not watch any TV.

27、tching it, was also connected to troublemaking behavior although the relationship wasnt as strong, said the researchers. “Parents should be smart about TV use,” researcher Jennifer Manganello from the University at Albany, New York, said. “They should limit the time that children use TV, pay attenti

28、on to the content of TV programs, and consider how TV is used throughout the home.” The study looked at 3,128 women from 20 U.S. cities who had a child between 2005 and 2008.

The expression to be in hot water is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being

35、 in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. That no longer happens. But we still get in hot water.

36、 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.

37、colorful expression that means staying out of debt. 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. Water over the dam is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finis

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 th

39、e 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 suggestions. It means to not like an idea. For example, you want to bu

40、y 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. 【小题 1】 If Robert says he is in deep water, we may guess_.

43、ituations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no,” criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face.

44、tart a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum. Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a squabble with

45、 his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too.

47、new that anything could happenand it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey. He successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining-room floor. The boy stood rooted: guests stared at

48、 their plates. Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son,” No harm, Daniel,” she said. “Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen” she enunciated clear ly so he would think about what she was saying “and bring in the other one.” A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a conspiracy of fun. 【小题 1】 What is the main idea of the passage A Humor is the key to success
