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）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 ?

At Harton College—an English boarding school for boys —there are many rules . 15-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them .

The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class . But they must return to the school at six o’clock . One afternoon Bob walked to the town . He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema . After the film , he looked at his watch . It was after eight o’clock . He was a little worried . He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible .

When he arrived , he ran quickly to the main entrance . It was locked . He went round the school building to another door , which was locked too . He looked up at the window of his dormitory on the third floor . The window was open . But it was quite dark , and he could not climb up the wall easily . Then he saw another open window on the ground floor . It was the window of the headmaster’s study .

Then he opened a book and began to read .

Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible . He couldn’t move . The floor was cold and uncomfortable . He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour .

“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed ?” Bob thought .

The report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship Bismarck , the most powerful warship in the world , was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean . Her task : to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England .

The British had feared such a task . No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower . The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns . She could move at 30 nautical miles （海里）an hour . She was believed to be unsinkable .

However , the British had to sink her . They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck . On May 24 , the Hood found the Bismarck .

It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see . His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies , but to stay away from a fight with British warships .

The battle didn’t last long . The Bismarck’s first torpedo （魚雷）hit the Hood , which went down taking all but three of her 1419 men with her .

But in the fight , the Bismarck was slightly damaged . Her commander decided to run for repairs to France , which had at that time been taken by the Germans . The British force followed her . However , because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog , they lost sight of her .

For two days , every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck , but with no success . Finally , she was sighted by a plane from Ireland , Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her , the British fired at her from the air . The Bismarck was hit .

On the morning of May 27 , the last battle was fought . Four British ships fired on the Bismarck , and she was finally sunk .

For years , many people would not believe that smoke could attack so many parts of the body in so many ways . Study shows , however , that tobacco isn’t one single thing .  At least 60% of it is gas—20 different kinds of gas . And one of these is the deadly carbon monoxide (CO) （一氧化碳）.

In factories , the amount of this gas in the air is measured , and it must be kept under fixed , safe level . But there is 640 times this safe amount in cigarette smoke .

Oxygen is carried through your body by the red blood cells . But this poison gas , CO, will get to the blood cells before the oxygen can . So , if you smoke your blood carries five to ten times more of this deadly gas than is normal . To make up for this , your body must make more red cells .

The oxygen in your blood passes into your tissues（組織）. But here again CO makes trouble . It keeps the oxygen from passing into your tissues as fast as it should . Because of this , cigarette country is always about 8000 feet above sea level . Someone who smokes and lives at sea level gets as little oxygen as a nonsmoker at an altitude（高度）of nearly two miles .This happens to everyone who smokes , no matter how old or how young . Anyone who competes in sports can tell you that those who smoke run out of breath more quickly than those who do not .

1．The gas amount in cigarette smoke is______________.

A．640 times higher than the gas safe levels in factories

B．640 times lower than the gas safe levels in factories

C．640 times as much as that in factories

D．a(chǎn)s dangerous as that in factories

2．If you smoke , ______________ .

A．your blood carries more oxygen than is normal

B．your blood carries much more CO than is normal

C．you can have five to ten times of blood than usual

D．your blood will be poisonous

3．Those who smoke______________.

A．a(chǎn)ll live at sea level

B．don’t live at an altitude of two miles

C．breathe as much oxygen as non-smokers

D．only get the same amount of oxygen at the sea level as non-smokers at an altitude of nearly 2 miles

4．Smokers are______________.

A．easily hurt                  B．easily excited      C．easily tired            D．healthy
