It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that.At some time or another, every one of us has to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry words “I want to talk to you.” And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If you got a D in the exam, that means parents cold faces and the contempt(轻视) of the classmates.“To face the music is well-known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you have no choice.（1）“To face the music means to .A . do something that we dont like toB . go to the theatreC . go to the music showD . do something we want to（2）After the exam, well have to “face the music”.

Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon cant give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are further away from the earth.There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9:00 a.m. on October 15th，2003, Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up to space.
