It is something far sadder than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that. At some time or another, every one of us has to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember Fathers angry words I want to talk to you. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to face the music. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If.that means parents cold faces and contempt (轻蔑) of the teachers and classmates. The American novelist James Fennimore Cooper said in 1851 that the expression face the music was first used by actors while waiting aside to go on stage. When it was their turn to go on the stage, they often said, Its time to face the music. An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved onto the stage in front of the audience because they might be friendly, or perhaps they are hostile, especially if he forgot what he would say. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. He would lose his job. To face the music is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.（1）To face the music means to _. A . do something that we dont like toB . go to the theatreC . go to the music showD . do something that we want to（2）In the third paragraph, Ifreally means If _ A . we dont do a good jobB . we get an A in the examC . the exam is easyD . the exam is difficult（3）The underlined word hostile means _. A . unfriendlyB . unhappyC . unhelpfulD . unnecessary（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A . To face the music is well known in the United States.B . To face the music has a history of more than 100 years.C . The young Americans know what to face the music means.D . Only the old in the United States know the meaning of to face the music.19. （10分）阅读理解 Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. This forces the brain to think in a different waythe brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点), the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.（1）Backward walking can_ according to the passage. A . improve the memory in the long termB . improve the memory in the short termC . cause much more pain in our kneesD . force the brain to think in the same way（2）Which one is the correct order of the following according to the passage? The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.The volunteers watched a video in which a womans bag was stolen.A . B . C . D . （3）What does the underlines word It in Paragraph 5 refer to_? A . Short-term memoryB . Physical healthC . Forward walkingD . Backward walking（4）In which part of the newspaper can we read this passage? A . Youth VoiceB . Star StoriesC . Our WorldD .
