18、easant, like being called in your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, every one of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can remember fathers angry voice: “I
19、want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase “face the music” is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from The first explanation came from the American novelist James
20、Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings (舞台的两侧 ) to go on stage. After they got their clue(暗示 ) to go on , they often said, “Its time to go to face the music. ” And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra (乐队 ) which was just be
21、low the stage. An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience(观众 ) that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So “face the music” came to mean: having to
22、go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice. 【小题 1】 The expression “face the music” means _. A plan to go to a concert B get ones clue to do something C have to go through something far less pleasant D disobey what ones father says 【小题 2

24、x Point is a very new 47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the citys poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前 ) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy
25、 for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放 )while also cutting costs. Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy people. Palladia received support from Enterprise Communi
26、ty Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面 ) clever and affordable homes which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy sav
27、ing and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy. Michael Bloomberg, New Yorks mayor, plans t
28、o create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York Citys greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused by housing. So he recently announced that the citys Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is
29、to develop and keep the citys supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECPs green standards. Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New Yorks DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country. 【小题 1】 W
