28、someone says, "well, I guess Pll have to face the music," it does not mean he's planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn't do this or that. Sour music indeed, but i

29、t has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father's 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&q

30、uot; is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least100 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 in the wings to go on t

31、he stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, "Well, ifs time to face the music., And that was exactly what they did facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be frien

32、dly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would 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.&

33、quot;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

34、 well as 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, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is

35、 dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.56. How many ways does the phrase "to face the music, comes from?A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four57. What's the meaning of "t

36、o face the music?"A. lb face the stageB. lb face the back of one's horseC. lb face one's leaderD. lb face something far less pleasant58. Which of the following is a situation of facing the music?A. When we are playing basketball in the school fieldB. When we are making a speech before m

37、asses of peopleC. When we are having a party at ease with our teachersD. When we are talking with somebody in secret59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not True?A. When a man forced to leave the army fbr something terrible he did, he is dishonoredB. At sometime or anot

56、me time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly recep

57、tion. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The 2nd shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and so were the 3rd and the 4th, therefore I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the 5th shop with a plan in my mind.
