It is something far less pleasant, like being called by your boss to explain why you did this or did that, and why you did not do this or do that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, everyone of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can 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 “face the music” is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from? The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings(舞台两侧) to go on stage. After they got their clue to go on, they often said, “Its time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they didface the orchestra (乐队) 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 (观众) that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So “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.50. The underlined phrase “face the music” means _. A. plan to go to a concert B. get ones clue to do something C. have to go through something far less pleasant D. disobey what ones father says51. The passage tells us that the expression was first used by _. A. children B. novelists C. actors D. audience52. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The expression came from James Fenimore Cooper, an American novelist. B. The expression has a history of more than100 years. C. If someone doesnt obey his boss, he will have to “face the music”. D. Almost everyone has an unpleasant experience that he has had to face the music.CPeople sometimes like to read stories about dogs very much. They think that dogs are much cleverer than cats, sheep, cows or other animals in their homes. One of my close friends, Bob, has a very large polite dog named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, Bob and Jack have a walk in the park nearby. Jack likes these walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, I paid a visit to my friend. I stayed there for a long time and my friend and I had much more talk with each other than ever before. Soon it was time for them to take a walk in the park. We forgot that. Jack became worried about it. He walked around the room several times and then sat down in front of me and looked at me. But I still paid no attention to him. I went on talking with my friend. At last, Jack could not wait any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down in front of me again. But this time, he held my hat in his mouth. Suddenly, I understood what Jack meant and so did my friend. 53. How many people are there in this story?A. One. B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.54. Jack _.

They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Li Ping, a middle school student in Hunan. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their childrens eyes?One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on yourself? Its easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what youre doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents dont call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children. 58.

What Are Parents Worrying about.EPeople with simple names enjoy quicker career advancement（晋升） because hard-to-pronounce names inspire（激起） negative reactions from superiors（上级）, a study has found.Researchers found that a “name pronunciation effect” played a major role in how people were perceived by colleagues and friends.The team of American and Australian scientists concluded that the easier a persons name was to say, the better their success was in the workplace and the quicker they were promoted（提升）.Their study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, also found a simple name improved peoples ability to make new friends.Dr Simon Laham, from Melbourne University, who led the study, said people with simple names were generally judged more positively.“The effect is not due merely to the length of a name or how foreign-sounding or unusual it is, but rather how easy it is to pronounce, he said.Dr Adam Alter, a co-author from New York Universitys Stern School of Business, added: “People simply arent aware of the subtle impact that names can have on their judgments.”In their study, mainly conducted in the field, the team investigated（调查） the way names can influence a persons impressions and decision making.They looked at dozens of surnames from different nationalities of about 500 university student volunteers from Anglo, Asian, and European backgrounds and a field of 500 lawyers in America.The team found that people with more “pronounceable” names were more likely to win political office. Meanwhile, they found that American lawyers with easier sounding names were promoted faster within their law firms.The findings add weight to previous research which suggested that company stocks（股票） with simpler names outperformed more complex business names immediately after they appear on the market.61. The first paragraph severs as a(n) _.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background62. People with hard-to-pronounce names get promoted slowly because _. A. they are not as clever as others B. their names are hard to remember C. they are not good at working with others D. their n
