  Many of the expressions using water haven't enjoyable meanings in English.

  Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got the meaning from throwing hot water down on enemies(敌人)attacking a town. That happens no longer, but we still get into hot water.

  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 rule can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes.

  Water over the dam(水坝)” is another expression about a past event. It's something that finishes and it cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea--water has run over a dam and it cannot be brought back again. When a friends is troubled by a mistake he has made, you might tell him to forget about it. You can say It's water over the dam.

  Throwing cold water means not to like an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but your parents throw cold water on the idea, because they think a new car costs too much.

   Plants are very important  1    things. Life could not go  2    if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. But animals and man cannot  3    so. Animals get their food by eating plants and  4    animals. Man gets its food by eating plants and animals too.  5    animals and man  6    plants in order to  7    .

Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds  14    .  15    example of a fruit  16    seeds is banana fruit.

We may say that spores are quite different from seeds. When these spores  20    on wet and shady(阴凉的)places, they usually grow into plants.
