V.词源探索:
To Face the Music
When someone says, “Well, I guess I'll have to go to face the music”, it does not mean that he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that, and why you did not do this or that. Sour(刺耳) music, indeed, but it has to be faced.
The phrase “to face the music”is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?
The first information comes from the American writer James Fenimore Cooper. He said – in 1851 – that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings(侧) to go on stage. After they got their clue(暗示) to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did – face the orchestra(管弦乐队) 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 that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.
So, “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.
The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection by their leader. The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean – shiny 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?
Choose the best answer according to the passage.
1、According to the passage, the word “music” probably means _____.
A.your boss’ criticism(批评) B.your leader’s inspection
C.something unpleasant to be experienced D.sour pop music
2、The phrase “to face the music” was first used by _____.
A.all the Americans B.the American writer James Fenimore Cooper
C.American actors D.the American orchestra
3、An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage. One of the reasons is that _____.
A.his performance might not satisfy most of the audience
B.he might not remember what he should say on stage
C.he had to face the unfriendly audience
D.the audience might be mostly his friends
4、”To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing ____.
A.to be examined about their equipment B.to be found weak
C.to show themselves in public D.to be inspected by their leader
5、This passage is mainly about _____.
A.the meaning of the phrase “to face the music” B.how to deal with something unpleasant
C.the origin of the phrase D.how to go through difficulty

II.Reading
Have you ever wanted to be a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of being in front of thousands of people at a concert, with everyone clapping and enjoying your singing? Do you sing karaoke and close your eyes and pretend you are Coco Li or Liu Huan? If we are honest with ourselves, most of us have dreamed of being famous. But just how do people get to form a band?
Most musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play music. Many times in America, bands are formed by high school students who practise their music in someone’s home. They may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money. This also gives a group a chance to dream of becoming famous.
However, there was one band that started in a different way. It began as a TV show. The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as played music. Their music and jokes were based loosely on the band called “The Beatles”. The TV organizers had looked for four musicians who were lively and who could make good music. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one that was good enough. They had to use actors for the other members of the band. Actors may not be able to sing so at first other musicians sang the songs for the programme while the band pretended to sing them.
Their attractive performances were copied by other groups and their fans supported them fiercely. Each week the group that was called “The Monkees” would play a song or two written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, “The Monkees” started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music. They became even more popular than “The Beatles” in the USA and sold even more records. However, the band broke up in about 1970, but reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, which was a celebration of their time as a real band.
