When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music”, it doesn’t mean that he is going to hear a singer. 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 father’s 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(輕視) 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.
【小題1】“To face the music” means “to ”.
| A．do something that we don’t like to |
| B．go to the theatre |
| C．go to the music show |
| D．do something we want to |
| A．we like to take the exam |
| B．we are afraid of taking the exam |
| C．the exam is very important |
| D．we are afraid of passing the exam |
| A．“To face the music” is well-known in the US. |
| B．“To face the music” has a history of more than 100 years. |
| C．The young Americans know the meaning of “to face the music”. |
| D．Only the old in the US know the meaning of “to face the music” |

Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch ( 橫桿 ) in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.
