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
【小題2】After the exam, we’ll have to “face the music”. That’s why          .
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
【小題3】Which of the following is wrong?
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”

【小題3】D

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect(尊重) and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.
Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it's OK just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.
It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
【小題1】No one wants to listen to_________ from others’ MP3 player.
A．a(chǎn) loud soundB．sad stories
C．a(chǎn) long movieD．the words of a song
【小題2】We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_______.
A．is not enjoyableB．makes us tired
C．is bad for MP3 playersD．hurts our ears

A．the teacher won’t allow it
B．the actors will get angry
C．others won’t hear the play well
D．we will miss part of the play

When you cough or sneeze(打噴嚏), please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I noticed adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.

One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(細菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit.” That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said—just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put advice to use more often.

1.The writer of this article must be _________.

A. a reporter        B. a teacher        C. a doctor          D. an officer

2.What does the underlined word “this” mean?

A. Don’t cough or sneeze in front of people.

B. Don’t stand beside someone who coughs or sneezes.

C. Many people cough or sneeze on the underground train.

D. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and say sorry.

3.After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to _________.

A. say “God bless you” immediately

B. wash their hands as soon as possible

C. go to see a doctor as soon as possible

D. go home and have a good rest

4.According to the article, the writer would like the kids _________.

A. to be polite to adults                B. to be in better health

C. to have good manners               D. to do well in exams
