Smiles and tears are part of life. But do you find enough time for laughing? I’m not asking if you experience lots of good times. Of course, we should laugh during the happy times. 小题1: . 小题2: But she wrote one about a more serious subject--cancer in children. The book is titled I WANT TO GROW HAIR, I WANT TO GROW UP. Erma talks with many children who have cancer and learns important lessons from them. She learns, for example, that cancer survivors（幸存者）know how they should smile at life, though they are receivingchemotherapy（化疗）.
小题3: .Jessica’s leg was cut off at the knee because of cancer. She was learning to wear a prosthesis（假肢）. Jessica told about playing soccer. She hit the ball hard with her foot. The ball flew off in one direction while her man-made leg flew another way. Then the brave girl lay on the floor, laughing happily.
As the saying goes, “ 小题4: ” Do you find plenty of time to laugh?
You can, if you find reasons to laugh during the difficult times. Survivors know how to laugh. If you can laugh even when you’re in trouble, you will make it. Remember, laugh and the whole world laughs with you. 小题5: .| A．We just laugh about it. | | B．Cry and you cry alone! | | C．There’s a time to cry and a time to laugh. | | D．Erma Bombeck is known for her funny books. |

Expressions about water are almost as common as water. 小题1:
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 extremely throwing hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. 小题2: A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he comes into the house with dirty shoes.
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.| A．It means disliking an idea. | | B．You are in a difficult situation. | | C．A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. | | D．If it does not hold water, then it is weak and not worth debating. |
E. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
F. A man who has long been jobless will find it hard to make both ends meet.
G. “To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. |

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.

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? |
It makes no difference what you read or study if you can"t remember it. You just waste your valuable time．小题1: One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．
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． |
E. It’s quite the same with your studying．
F. Reading is not one single activity．
G. This is the way it works． |
