Duane, Rodney, Horace, Sandra 和 Rachel 正计划选一个景点去过周末。阅读下面六个景点的介绍，选出符合个人个性特长的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Now Obama has been President of the USA. Rodney is very excited because his grandfather used to be a friend of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and devoted himself to the struggle of civil rights for black people in the USA. He wants very much to find a museum where he can learn more about their struggle.

Noticing Sandra has been very tired from weeks of hard work at her lessons, her father decides to take her for a relaxation visit to an entertainment place. Now Sandra is asked to pick out an attraction where her father can see some wonderful exhibits, while she herself can enjoy some splendid music.

As a hard-working student who will head for the major that has a lot to do with botany after he graduates from high school, Rachel hopes to find an attraction which offers him the knowledge of plants and the connection between plants and nature.

As an active and energetic student, Duane has a special interest in the great athletes, great champions and their achievements of his state. Therefore, he has a strong desire that he should find a wonderful place where he can feast his eyes by using the coming weekend.

Maybe greatly affected by his father who is a well-known scientist, Horace has shown a great gift for science. Now he has come up with an idea: Why not try to find a science center where he himself can do some real scientific actions?

Set up in 1967, this Sports Hall of Fame is devoted to preserving and honoring this

state’s sports heritage （遗产）. It has collected the athletic achievements of the state’s greatest champions who have made their mark in American sports history.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute takes its visitors on one of this nation’s most

significant journeys by winning the spirit and courage of countless individuals who, during the 1950’s and 1960’s, dared to face racial discrimination of American society.

The museum “ The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame” honors great jazz artists with ties to the

state of Alabama. Exhibits convey the achievements of the likes of Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton and Erskine Hawkins and the music that made them famous.

Science-Quest is a hands-on science center that features 150 interactive exhibits that will attract children and adults alike. The 3D presentation in the Immersive Reality Theater is a popular attraction at this science center.

The Von Braun Center is a multi-purpose entertainment place that hosts a number of exhibitions, concerts and sporting events throughout the year. The place holds up to 10,000 people, while the Concert Hall holds up to 2,153 and the Playhouse Theatre has an ability of 502 guests.

Located near the US Space and Rocket Center, this botanical garden offers woodland paths, splendid made-of-flower collections and exhibits to delight visitors of all ages. The garden provides a variety of opportunities for individuals and groups to expand their knowledge of plants and nature.

Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.

Our expression today is “to face the music”. When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Awful music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!

The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting to go on the stage. When they got their cue(提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did—facing the orchestra(管弦乐队) which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “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.”

Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection(视察) by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shiny enough to pass the 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?

Another army explanation is more closely linked to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. For example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.

1.How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from?

A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.

2.What’s the meaning of “to face the music”?

A．To face something far less pleasant. B．To face the stage.

C．To face the back of one’s horse. D．To face one’s leader.

3.The underlined word “hostile” means ________.

A．unfriendly B．dislike C．unkind D．unnecessary
