It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that, and why you did not do this or that. Sour music, indeed, but it has to be faced.The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?The first information comes from the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said in 1851 that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Its time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they didface the orchestra (交响乐团) which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection (检阅) by their leader. The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment (装备) cleanshiny enough to pass inspection? Still, the men had to go out, and face the music of the band, as well as the inspection. What else could they do?36. According to the passage, the word “music” means _. A. your bosss criticism (批评) B. your leaders inspection C. something unpleasant to be experienced D. sour pop music37. The phrase “to face the music” was the first used by _.A. all the Americans B. the American writer James Fennimore CooperC. some American actors D. the American orchestra38. An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage. One of the reasons is that _. A. his performance might not satisfy most of the audienceB. he might not remember what he should say on stageC. he had to face the unfriendly audience D. most of the audience might be his friends39. “To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing _.A. to be examined about their equipment B. to be found weakC. to show themselves up in public D. to be inspected by their leader40. The passage is mainly about _.A. the meaning of the phrase “to face the music” B. how to deal with something unpleasantC. the phrase “to face the music” in America D. how to go through difficultyBWhen American meet with another person, they like to have a kind of conversation they call “small” talk. The most common topic of small talk is the weather. Other common topics are the room or building they are in, the street where they are standing, or their past experiences, such as watching a particular(特别的) TV program, going to New York, or eating at a particular restaurant.There are some topics Americans usually avoid(避免) because they are too personal. For example, youd better not ask such a question. “How much money do you have each month? ” But what is a personal matter in one country may not be so in another. For example, Americans may ask, “Where do you work? How many children do you have? How large is your house? Have you had a holiday yet?” Such question are not thought by Americans to be too personal. They often ask such questions to learn what youre both interested in or to begin a conversation.

One who watches such TV programs often feels terrified. Such programs should be for adults only. Once I watched a program of violence. I was terrified. One night I was on my way home from my friends, walking to the station. I took a train back to the center of the city. There were a lot of people traveling with me, and I felt safe. On the train, a man was sitting opposite me and I thought nothing of it until I saw him staring at me. “He seemed to be a murderer.” I remembered the film and felt very uncomfortable. Then I got off the train, and went to the bus stop. When the man got on the same bus I found that he was following me. Luckily, I was together with other people on the bus, so I wasnt afraid. But when I got off the bus, the streets were almost empty. I walked as quickly as I could. I could hear the footsteps following me, but I didnt dare to look back. After what seemed to have been hours, I reached the front door of my house. I felt my keys, but I was too frightened to find them. The footsteps stopped behind me. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Instead of feeling hands around my neck, I heard a pleasant voice, “Im sorry if I frightened you. Im your new neighbor. I thought I recognized you on the train, but I wasnt sure.”51.
