　　A

　　I once knew an old man whose bad memory made him famous. John Smith was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes — even his meals. Once he forgot he ate breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, just very, very absent-minded. One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.

　　The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon. “Oh, my dear, I forgot the name of the town.” “What? You forgot the name? May be one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”

　　Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.

　　“What is the matter now?”

　　“As you told me, I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town, but I forgot where I left our children!”

　　59. He kept the name of the town a secret because_______.

　　When someone says , “Well , I guess I’ll have to go to face the music,” It doesn’t mean 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 (側(cè))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(管弦樂隊(duì))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(檢閱)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 ?

　　60.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

　　61.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

　　62. “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 by their leader D.to be inspected by their leader

　　63.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(起源)of the phrase

　　D.how to go through difficulty
