When your father scoulds you, you musn't answer back.

Things should start to look up for heavy industry this year.

What do 'scould' and 'look up for' mean?

Thanks a lot..

The spelling is 'scold'. If you are scolded you are told off/remonstrated with. (or, in older usage, nagged constantly)

If things start to look up / for something or someone, they start to get better.
