There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are
not. "Face the music" is a good (16).When someone says they have to "face
the music," it does not mean they are going to a musical performance or
concert. "Facing the music' means to accept the (17) results of an action.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She
gives you the keys and says, "Thanks so much for watching my car (18) I'm away.
But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely(非常)fast car and you are
not on the insurance(保险). "But you do not listen. You want to show off
to some friends and pretend(假装)the car is(19). So, you drive it around
town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and
drive it (20) a stop sign. The damage is severe(严重).
When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and "face the
music." The "music" here is the (21) of your actions. It could he losing
her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. (22) the
music is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the (23) thing as "face the music".
To "take your medicine" means to accept the results from (24) bad you have done.

Horses are strong and beautiful animals. There are more than 250different
kinds of horses. Some are large and others are small. Horses are able to
travel long distances while carrying a rider. They can also pull heavy
loads(重载).Before cars, people used to use horses for travel and work.
Today, you don't see horses nearly as often. But some people still keep
horses and ride them.
Not everyone is comfortable around horses. They are pretty big! You don't
have to be afraid of horses, but you should be careful around them. First,
approach(靠近)a horse at the shoulder(肩膀)so it can see you. A horse's
eyes are on the sides of its head. Don't approach a horse from behind. Also,
never stand behind a horse. The horse can't see you and may kick because
it's scared.
When you want to ride a horse, a trainer can help you. First, he or she
will clean the horse's feet and shoes to remove any rocks. Next, the
trainer brushes the horse so it isn't dirty. Dirt under a saddle(马鞍)can
make the horse uncomfortable. Next the trainer puts a blanket or pad on the
horse's back. Then he puts on the saddle, and the horse is ready to ride!
28. Which of the following actions is dangerous? ______
A. Approach a horse at the shoulder.
B. Approach a horse from behind.
C. Never stand behind a horse.
D. Never make horses scared.
29. According to the article, why should you be careful around horses? ______
A. Because they are strong and pull heavy loads.
B. Because they are large and travel long distances.
C. Because they can kick or hurt you if they are scared.
D. Because they make people around them scared.
30. According to the article, what can a trainer do to help you? ______
A. Help you learn how to ride.
B. Help the horse get to know you well.

We all have habits that we want to give up. These are habits which are not good
for us in some way or another. A habit is an activity that we have got used
to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and
it has become convenient(方便的).
We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize
that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step
that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good
for you.
Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that
will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that
act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give
it up.
Find out how bad habits have spoiled(糟蹋)things around you. For example,
a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the schedule(时间表)of your
whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many
days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it
up.
An alarm(闹钟)is something that will prevent you from performing your bad
habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide
that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off.
Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you
from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you've made
to yourself.
Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit.
This will keep you encouraged to break the bad habit and at the same time make
you happy.
There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely
take some time to give them up. However, breaking a bad habit is a better choice
than letting it grow into an addiction(瘾). Try giving up a bad habit,
and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I
will certainly congratulate you on it.
31. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ______ .
A. people find it difficult to break a bad habit
B. we must change all the habits we have
C. a habit is a terrible thing we can never change
D. we can easily change a bad habit
32. According to the passage, if you want to give up your bad habit, you have
to ______ .
A. talk to your family or friends
B. find out the reason behind it
C. finish your homework first
D. spend less time on the Internet
33. Which of the following is NOT a proper way to break a bad habit? ______
A. Know the bad effects that bad habits have brought you.
B. Face the fact you have a bad habit and it's bad for you.
C. Reward yourself when succeeding in stopping yourself from performing the
bad habit.
D. Wait until someone reminds you of the promise you've made to yourself.
34. After reading the passage, you'll know ______ .
A. how to find out your habits B. how to change your habits
C. how to break a bad habit D. how to develop a good habit

of you may say Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.

utiful emotion. It helps kids understand the real world when it
is expressed properly." Cao once said.
When Cao creates a story,
he does not write specifically for someone. Adults can find be
auty in his stories. "I tell real Chinese stories,

" he said.
