25、When someone says, “I guess I′ll have to face the music”, it doesn′t mean he is going to a concert. It is something unhappy. For example, a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn′t finish his homework.

 Every American, young or old, knows the phrase “to face the music” well. It′s at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?

 One explanation (解释) is about the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said the expression was first used by actors. When they were asked to perform, they would say, “It′s time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage (舞台).

 An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of the audience (观众). But he had to go out. So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be, because you had no choice.

 The other explanation comes from the army. The soldiers had to face their leader′s check. They were worried about how well they looked. Were their guns clean enough to pass the check? Still, the men had to go out to face the check. What else could they do?

【1】What does the expression “to face the music” exactly mean?

A. To go to a concert.

B. To become interested in music.

C. To join the army.

D. To go through something unhappy.

【2】In which of the following places won′t the expression “to face the music” be

 used?

A. The stage. B. The school. C. The city library.  D. The army.

【3】What′s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A. Worries of an actor on the stage.

B. Different kinds of audience.

C. Why an actor is nervous on the stage.

D. The true meaning of “to face the music”.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Here are two explanations about the expression “to face the music”.

B. The music in “to face the music” is a kind of terrible music.

C. When you face the music, it means that you must go through it.

D. When someone says he has to face the music, he will have no choice.

26、   At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, US, there is a little red barn (畜舍). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations(世代),have moved to a different place in northern Fayette County.

But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm.

They're members of the Fayette County Livestock Club. In this club, children learn many skills, such as cutting wool and taking care of animals.

"A lot of Lexington kids don't know anything about farm life," said Adria Meier,17, who has looked after goats(山羊)and sheep for three years. "There is so much to learn. "

Children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a six-hour class before they get an animal of their own. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs for free, such as one that provides animal care.

Mahan lets the group use the barn for free. The kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.

There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don't cut the wool off your goats and sheep when there is wind. Sheep are social animals and they will cry loudly when they are separated.

"Looking after animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to swim or play soccer, caring for an animal isn't something you can simply abandon(遗弃),"said Carly Playforth.

【1】What do we know about Jim Mahan?

A.He is a member of the livestock club. B.He is the organizer of the livestock

C.He is the owner of the farm. D.He is a soccer coach.

【2】What can children learn in the Fayette County Livestock Club?

【4】According to the last paragraph, what does Carly Playforth mean?

A.It's not necessary to learn to swim or play soccer.

B.Children learn to be responsible by looking after animals.

C.People can give up swimming or soccer easily.

D.Caring for animals is more important than playing sports.

【5】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Kids' life on a sold farm B.A little red barn

C.Ways to look after animals D.A club activity of caring for animals

27、It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. It had not rained in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If it did not rain soon, we would lose everything. On this day, I witnessed(目睹) a wonder.

I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year-old son, Billy, walking very slowly toward the woods. Minutes later he came running out again, toward the house. Soon after, I saw him walking toward the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.

Billy cupped both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Leaves slapped his face but he kept walking into the woods. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy’s hands.

When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy opened it and a small trickle(细流) came out. He knelt down, letting the drops slowly fill up his "cup".

Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears, “I’m not wasting,” he said. I joined him with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood at the edge of the woods. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... as if the sky itself was crying.
