24、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.

25、Every year thousands of people get hurt or lose their lives when they are crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children. Old people often get hurt because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.

How can we reduce (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. You must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, and then look left again. When you make sure that it is safe, you can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. We should try to help children, old people, and blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.

26、“My dear Mr Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let (出租) at last?”

Mr Bennet replied that he had not.

“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”

Mr Bennet made no answer.

“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection (反对) to hearing it.”

This was invitation enough.

“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune (财富) from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”

“What is his name?”

“Bingley.”

“Is he married or single?”

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; 4 or 5,000 a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”

“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which

perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr Bingley might like you the best of all.”

“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”

“It is more than I can be sure, I assure (向……保证) you.”

“But consider your daughters. Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”

But in fact Mr Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always assuring his wife that he should not go.

【1】How did Mrs Bennet feel when she heard that Bingley would move there?

A. Excited and hopeful.   B. Nervous and curious.

C. Surprised and crazy.   D. Pleased and proud.

【2】Why did Mr Bennet show no interest in Mr Bingley’s moving there when his wife talked about it?

A. Because his daughters were not pretty enough.

B. Because his wife was prettier than his daughters.

C. Because he didn’t care about his daughters’ happiness.

D. Because he didn’t want to show his true feelings to others.

【3】What does the underlined word “that” mean?

A. Mr Bingley had decided to live there.

B. Mr Bennet himself would visit Mr Bingley.

C. Mr Bingley would like Mrs Bennet best.

D. Mr Bingley would fall in love with one of their daughters.

【4】Why did Mrs Bennet mention “Sir William and Lady Lucas”?

A. To show Mr Bingley was well worth visiting.

27、I had hidden the long black bag in the garage(车库) for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.

It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed-time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbors might hear me and call the police.

It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer(铁锤).

After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
