When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music”, it doesn’t mean that he is going to listen to music. It shows he has to do what he might not be willing to.
Sometimes, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially (尤其) children. We can all remember father’s angry words “Why did not you do what you should do...”. 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(结果) of the exam will tell whether（是否）we will face the music or not. If...that means parents cold faces and contempt (轻视) of the teachers and classmates.
“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 (无论) how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you can’t choose any other things to do.
49.. “To face the music” means “to__________ ”.
A. do something that we don’t like to B. go to the theatre
C. go to the music show D. do something that we want to 50.. In the third paragraph, “If...”really means “If____ .”
A. we don't do a good job B. we get an “A” in the exam C. the exam is easy D. the exam is difficult 51. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person” How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people Yes, of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang（杨振宁）. He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
53. “ABC” in this passage means .
A.. an English song B. three English letters C. Chinese born in America D. Americans born in China
54.Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because .
A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outside B. they think like Westerners but look like Chinese C. they were born in China but go to study in America D. they like to eat bananas
