Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life to the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music”.

When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll 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, any why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time 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” 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 Cooper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that is 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 the audience that might be friendly 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” came 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 inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about hw well they looked. Was their equipment clean, whinny 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?

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 out of the army because he did something terrible, he is 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.

According to the passage, how many ways does the phrase “to face the music” come from?

  A. One.           B. Two.         C. Three.           D. Four.

What’s 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 one’s horse.            D. To face one’s leader.

The underlined word “hostile” in Paragraph 3 means “       ”.

  A. unfriendly         B. dislike          C. unimportant          D. unnecessary

If you like bicycling as much as you like playing ball and can’t seem to decide between the two sports, you may want to consider cycle ball—a fun sport that adopts the key attributes from both activities and transforms it into a totally new game..

Also known as red ball, the game was invented in 1893 by German laborers who wished to play polo(馬球), but could not afford horses. While the sport has not caught on in North America, it is very fashionable in Europe and even Japan.

Played in an indoor court, cycle ball is similar to soccer in many ways—the aim is to score as many goals as possible, and only the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball.

The one big difference? Use of legs is forbidden. Instead, players have to guide the ball across the court, using the front wheels of their bicycles or with their heads. In fact, if a player even touches the floor with his feet during the 14-minute game, it is considered a foul(犯規(guī)) and the opposing team gets a free kick.

While the game was initially(最初) played with normal bikes, things are a little different now. The seats of these specialized bikes are positioned over the back tire and they sport a single fixed gear, making it easier for the rider to control the constant back and forth movement required for the game. The handlebars(車把) also point straight up so that the competitors can sit upright while playing and they are about twice the weight of normal bikes, which helps with the stability.

While cycle ball may sound a little strange, it is a fast-paced sport that requires much training, skill, and, is also really fun to watch.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The origin and development of soccer

B．The differences between cycle ball and soccer.

A．turned up         B．hung up           C．come about        D．become popular

3.What can we know about cycle ball?

A．It is a fast-paced game played in an indoor court

B．It was invented in 1893 by poor British people.

C．It is another name of soccer played by many people.

D．It is a strange game played with normal bikes.

4.It can be known from the passage that __________.

A．every player who is playing cycle ball is allowed to touch the ball.

B．the aim of playing cycle ball is to score as many goals as possible.

C．if a player touches the floor with his feet, the opposing team will win

D．heads are not allowed to be used to guide the ball across the court.

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A．Cycle ball is popular both in Japan and other Asian countries.

B．The cycle ball game is popular all over the world.

C．A cycle ball game takes 14 minutes.

D．Cycle ball has to be played with heads, legs or the front wheels.

[2] The good news is there are many ways to listen and many things to listen to.

[3] Listening to English songs can be fun. But be careful! Most ____________ use the language in a special way that you don’t hear every day.

[6] Choose one character (人物) that interests you and pay attention to what they say and how they say it. If you can, repeat a line out loud after they have said it. Teach yourself one or more sayings, phrases or ways of talking that you will use after watching the movie.
