6.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 100years 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 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 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(检阅)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?

25.The phrase"to face the music"was first used byA.
A.American actors      
B.the American writer James Fenimore Cooper
C.all the Americans     
D.the American orchestra
26.An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage.One of the reasons is
thatB.
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
27."To face the music"is also used to mean that soldiers were not willingB.
A.to be examined about their equipment    
B.to be inspected by their leader
C.to show themselves by their leader       
D.to be found weak
28.This passage is mainly aboutD.
A.how to go through difficulty    
B.how to deal with something unpleasant
C.the origin of the phrase        
D.the meaning of the phrase"to face the music"

8.Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive,both in good times and bad,is a great way to improve your quality of life.Try these four methods on a daily basis.
1.Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course.Staying positive 24 hours a day,seven days a week is a bit difficult.Letting things get to you is normal,and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.
It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.(36)F However,don't give that sadness another second in your day.
2.(37)A
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside.Fill yourself with good,healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking.Exercise is equally of great importance.Take a few days out of your week for at least a half a hour of activity,and try to stick to a routine.(38)G 
3.Be kind to others.
(39)EMaking someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face.but also yours as well.Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect.Good deeds are contagious (传染的),and your positive attitude may spread among others.
4.Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn't an instant thing.It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day.(40)C Instead,focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.

A.Eat healthy and stay fit.
B.Take your lunch breaks outside.
C.Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D.Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.
