Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass 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.

　　59. How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in the passage?

　　A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

　　60. What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean?

　　A. To face the stage.

　　B. To face the back of the horse.

　　C. To face one’s leader or father.

　　D. To face something far less pleasant.

　　61. Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?

　　B. When we are making a speech before a lot of people.

　　C. When we are having a party at ease with our teachers.
