　　一、阅读理解
　　If you are travelling in Britain, besides so many world-class things to see and do in London, planning a day trip away from it can also be good.
　　Stonehenge
　　Stonehenge consists of a group of large standing stones. The 5,000-year-old stones are one of the world’s biggest mysteries(谜) that no one has understood yet. While travelling Stonehenge, you can imagine wildly and decide for yourself how the stones came to be there and why. Although you can’t touch the stones, you can walk among them and feel the changes of seasons.
　　Windsor
　　Most people visit Windsor to see Windsor Castle, where the Queen spends most of her time. The castle(城堡) itself could busy for days. The best way to appreciate Windsor Castle is to approach via the Long Walk, a straight road where there are no cars, but you might see some deer.
　　Oxford
　　Oxford is best known for its world-famous university. The large student population keeps the university young and fresh, though there’s no shortage of history if you want it. 30 colleges map the university itself. A tour of the colleges is a must—Harry Potter fans will find many places used in the movies.
　　Bath
　　Founded by the Romans, who used the area’s springs to create a spa retreat（水疗中心）, Bath’s now the best tourist attraction of Southwest England. Visitors never miss the Roman Bath Complex, which is divided into four main parts—the Bath House, the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple and the museum, which displays fascinating finds from the historical ruins of the city.

　　There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but are not.
　　“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of an action.
　　Imagine a friend as to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanch for watching my car while I’m away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险).”
　　But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend(假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad lucld have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”.
　　The “music” here is the result of your actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
　　There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”.
　　To “tar medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
　　“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own
