单选题Lucky is the man who has no "skeleton in his closet". When
a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to
hide, he is said to have a "skeleton in his closet". Some people may have more
than one skeleton. As we have noted many times, it is
hard to find out how these expressions begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts.
But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase,
which came from England. Before 1932, English law did not
permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless
it was the corpse (尸体) of an executed (处决) criminal. But when
it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific
study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand
had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors
at high prices. We are told that a doctor would usually buy
just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work.
But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a
thing. As a rule, the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where
it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet. After a time,
people began to suspect (怀疑) every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet.
From this suspicion, the phrase "a skeleton in the closet" took on a broader,
more general meaning to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from
discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less
serious. Well, that is one theory. One writer, however,
believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It
is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have
turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well,
one man’s guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great
French novelist, Balzac. Baizac tells us of a man who suspected
his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears
him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room
and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to
the closet if she promises him there is no one there; He will believe her. She
answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet. The
husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife
watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not
change her story and admit her guilt.Which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase
"skeleton in the closet"A
You have stolen something precious and don’t want it discovered.B
You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research.C
If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you
should keep the skeleton secret.D
You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep
other from discovering it.

单选题To face the music 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. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime
or another, every one of us has had 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 in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they
often said, "Well, it’s time to face the music." And that was exactly what they
did-facing the orchestra 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 "come 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 by their leader, the soldiers would be
worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny 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 related to the idea of facing the results and
accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As,
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.Which of the following is a situation of facing the musicA
When we are playing basketball.B
When we are making a speech.C
When we are having a party.D
When we are talking with somebody.
