2．Expressions 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 500years 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 trouble---serious 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．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．
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 the 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．If it does not hold water，then it is weak and not worth debating．
"Throwing cold water"also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals．It means that one doesn't like an idea．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．

20．A few years ago，I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D．C．I saw many of our nation's treasures，and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets．
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center，I heard a voice say，"Can you help me？"When I turned around，I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended（伸出）．In a natural reaction，I reached into my pocket，pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand．I didn't even look at her．I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar．
But the blind woman smiled and said，"I don't want your money．I just need help finding the post office．"
Immediately，I realized what I had done．I acted with prejudice（偏见）-I judged another person simply for what I thought she was．
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15．Through the years，I have been a dishwasher，cashier，mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs，and finally I became a network engineer．
In my own life，I have experienced many open acts of prejudice．I remember a time，at age 17-I was a busboy，and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school，he would end up like me．
But now，living in my American middle-class lifestyle，it is too easy to forget my past，to forget who I am and where I have been，and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the street of Washington D．C．cured me of my blindness．She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open．

18．It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work．Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic，making her a few minutes late for her very first job．She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day．
Once inside the lobby，she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor．When she finally reached the office marked"Smith Enterprises"，she knocked at the door nervously and waited．There was no reply．She tapped on the door again，but still there was no answer．From inside the next office，she could hear the sound of voices，so she opened the door and went in．
Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr．Smith，it looked quite different now．In fact，it hardly looked like an office at all．The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking．In the front of the room，somebody must have just told a good joke，she thought，because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in．For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her．
Then one of the men looked at his watch，clapped his hands and said something to the others．Quickly they all went to their desks and，in a matter of seconds，everyone was hard at work．No one paid any attention to Marie．Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office．Hardly looking up from his work，he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr．Smith，who would arrive at any moment．Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr．Smith arrived．Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning，arriving in the office at 9：35，so that his staff knew exactly when to start working．
