There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but are not.

“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 concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of an action.

Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m 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 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 actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her 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”.

To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. 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!

“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.

1.What’s the main idea of this text?

A.To invite a friend to go to a musical performance.

B.To tell people how to deal with a bad situation.

C.To give people a lesson on an action.

D.To introduce some expressions.

2.Which action belongs to “take your medicine”?

A.You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.

B.You worked hard but failed in the exam.

C.You caught a cold and took some medicine.

D.You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.

3.What may the next programme talk about?

A.Other words and their stories.

B.The beginning of “pay the piper”.

C.The wider use of “face the music”.

D.An example of “take your medicine”.

There are many special hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.

Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.

In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs and the beds.

The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. So the rooms stay warm at night, though it’s cold outside in the desert. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs $40 a night, and a double room $60.

A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “Please don’t lick (舔) the walls.”

1.Where did the salt for the hotel come from?

A．A cave.           B．The lake.          C．The salt desert.     D．A salt field.

2.What keeps the rooms in the Salt Palace Hotel warm at night?

A．The water in the lake.                    B．The sand in the desert.

C．The furniture in the rooms.                D．The heat from the walls and roof.

3.What is the passage mainly about?

A．A large lake.       B．A special hotel.     C．A beautiful wall.     D．A famous desert.
