Our expression today is to face the music.When someonesays, well, I guess Ill have to face the music, it does not mean hes planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did thisand did that, and why you didnt do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometimeor another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry voice, I want to talk to you. and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase to face the music is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist,James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting inthe wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, Well, its time to facethe music.And that was exactly what they did - facing the orchestra which was just below them. Andan actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhapshostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not,therewould be no play.So the expression to face the music come to mean having to go through something,no matter how unpleasant the experience might be,because you knew you had no choice. Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean,shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as wellas the inspection. What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As, for example, when a man is forced outof the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drumstap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.26. How many ways does the phrase to face the music comes from? A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 427. Whats the meaning of to face the music? A. To face something far less pleasant. B. To face the stage. C. To face the back of ones horse. D. To face ones leader.28. Which of the following is a situation of facing the music? A. When we are playing basketball. B. When we are making a speech. C. When we are having a party. D. When we are talking with somebody.29. The underlined word hostile means _. A. unfriendly B. useless C. unkind D. unnecessary30.What is the article about? A.The history of English idioms B.Different explanations of an English expression C.An English idiom only used in the army D.What can people do when they “face the music”第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡相应的位置将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Mum, my old bike has gone wrong again.
