7、Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or a concert. To “face the music” means accepting the bad results of a behaviour.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you t
8、he keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while Im away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险).” But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend (假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad
9、luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The “music” here is the result of your behaviour. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her
10、sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”“Take your medicine” means accepting the results of something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad
11、situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.1Whats t

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to f
15、ind accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didnt stay at bed and b
16、reakfast houses，” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was odd. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”， because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did
17、 not go to the house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”， which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”， because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses w
18、ere all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the wor
19、d “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some mo

30、can English that sound good but actually are not.”可知，文章主要介绍了美式英语中许多听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此的表达。故本文主要介绍了一些表达。2答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据第五段中“Take your medicine means accepting the results of something bad you have done.”可知，“take your medicine”的意思是接受你所做的坏事的结果。四个选项所给的例子 AYou broke the traffic rules and caused an acciden
31、t. (你违反了交通规则，造成了事故。)和“take your medicine”的意思相符； BYou worked hard but failed in the exam. (你努力学习但考试不及格。); CYou caught a cold and took some medicine. (你感冒了，吃了些药。); DYou moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends. (你搬到了新城市，失去了跟老朋友的联系。)。都不能说是做的坏事，都和“take your medicine”的意思不符。3答案与解析：C细节理解题。文

Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it！可知，“make your be
33、d”的意思是制造了一个糟糕的局面，所以“make your bed”与其他几个短语意思不同。4答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段主要叙述的是“pay the piper”这个短语有一个很有意思的开端并根据最后一句“We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.”可知，下一个节目要讲的是“pay the piper”的开端。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了由于语言的差异而导致误解的故事。5答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第一段中“Before they left, they asked me for advic

35、e the sign outside said “VACANCIES”， which in English means there are free rooms. 可知，在英语中“VACANCIES”意思是“有空的房间”，因此“NO VACANCIES”在英语中意思是“没有空的房间”。8答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more.”可知，作者想再要些咖啡。.

38、 to have to study the language every day. 此处表示强调， “让我们弄清楚一件事”。4答案与解析：CC项中的one指代上文“Carrying a dictionary with you will serve you a lot of time.”中的a dictionary。5答案与解析：G根据本段小标题Watch, listen, read and write in your chosen language. 可知学习语言需要看、听、读和写。上文“Possibly the easiest thing you can do is watch television shows or movies in the language you are trying to learn.”提到了“看”， 从下文“Besides, download podcasts or tunes into radio stations in your new language.”中的podcasts 和 radio stations可以看出是“听”， 所以空格处应该是谈论“读和写”。
