Ⅵ. 阅读表达。
There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not. “Face the music” is a good example. When people say they have to “face the music”, it means that they have to accept and deal with the bad result of an action.
Imagine that a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the key and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely(极其) fast car.” But you drive it around the town one night. As a result, you lose control of the car and crash it into a stop sign.

When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The“music” here refers to the result of your actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.
There are other expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music”. To “take your medicine” means to accept 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 situation and you will experience the results!
