noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.“ dad, dad!” i cried. “this wine is too old to drink.”“ son, hold on,” he said.“ no, you cant drink this tonight! this bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”“ wait, let me tell you”“ would you like me to throw it away fro you?” i asked.“ son, wait a second,” he said. “son, some wines get better over time. the longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. although this may seem strange, it is true.”when i was young, i didnt have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as i went through my teenage years.in our society, we forget this simple rule: the longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. but we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. when we do this, we lose something of great importance.we all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we dont get ready enough to get there. this has a negative effect on our society. when trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. we need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.56. why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?a. because it smelt terrible. b. because it had been kept for years.c. because it was mixed with something else.d. because his father drank too much that night.57. what the authors father said _.a. made the author puzzled when he was a little child.b. was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.c. threw the author into deep thought then.d. was an excuse to drink the wine.58. in the authors opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will _.a. do it better b. save much timec. graduate from college more quickly d. miss something useful to us in life59. which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?a. well begun is half done.b. more haste, less speed.c. failure is the mother of success.d. nothing is impossible to a willing heart.bexpressions about water are almost as common as water itself. 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 500 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.that no longer happens. but we still get in “hot water”when we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. it can be any kind of troubleserious 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. being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. when you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. you are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. the problem is too deep. you can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.“to keep your head above water” is a 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 finished. it cannot be changed. the expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again. 60. which of the following two expressions have almost the same meaning?a. to be in hot water；to be in deep water.b. to be in hot water；to keep your head above water.c. to be in deep water；water over the dam.d. water over the dam；to be in hot water.61. if a person tries to keep his head out of water，we can say that .a. he is in danger of
