　　　There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.(1)______ When someone says they have to“face the music"，it does not mean they are going to a concert.“Facing the music”means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.
　　　(2)______ For example，“I can't face another night of camping!It's cold and rainy.” Or “In life，you must face your fears.” “Face”used in this way is very common.
　　　But now，let's go back to“facing the music".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 an extremely(极其)fast car."(3)______ You want to show off to some friends. So，you drive it around the town one night. As bad luck would have it，you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
　　　When your friend returns，you must tell her what you have done and“face the music".(4)______ It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is，you must face it.
　　　(5)______ “Taking your medicine”means accepting the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says，“You made your bed. Now lie in it.”，they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!
