In Western society, especially in the English-speaking world, the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important. Many young people, when they finish school at the age of 18, take a gap year before they go to university.
Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school. Although they are worried about their safety, many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries. Children are encouraged to be brave, independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.
Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life. For example, if they have a rich life, they may want to see how people in poor areas live.
A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives. A little
bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions, especially when they are unsure about what they want to study.
Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university. So anywhere you travel in the world, you will meet young European people exploring the world.
So much of the world has been travelled and explored. The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences. Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting. Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand, helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井) in a village in Africa.
These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of. Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.

When someone says "Well, I guess I'll have to go to face the music", it does not mean he is planning to go to a concert or hear a singer. It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that.
At sometime or another, every one of us has to “ face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry words “I want to talk to you” and only because we did not listen to him. What a terrible 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 the laugh of the classmates.
The expression "face the music" is well-known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did it come from?
James Fennimore Cooper, an American writer, said in 1851 that the expression was first used by actors while waiting to go on stage. After they got their clue(暗示) to go on , they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra (管弦乐队) which was just below the stage. An actor might be worried or nervous as he moved to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.
So, “face the music”came to mean that you have to go through something, no matter how unpleasant that the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice. Sour music, indeed, but it has to be faced.
41. If you didn’t listen to your father, he would____
A. do something to please you B. do something interesting instead
C. be angry with you D. be pleased with you
42. In the third paragraph, “If…”really means “If______”
A. we are not the best B. we are an “A” in the exam
C. the exam is easy D. the exam is difficult
43. The phrase "to face the music" was the first used by _ _
A. all the Americans B.An American writer
C. some American actors D. the American orchestra
44. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. “face the music”is well-known in the United States
B. “face the music”has a history of more than 100 years.
C. “face the music” means “do something we don’t like to”
D. When your leader is pleased with you, you will “face the music”
45. The passage is mainly about ____.
A. how to enjoy music
B. how to go through difficulty
C. how to deal with something unpleasant
D. the phrase“face the music”in America
