This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment :'an interesting week of poetry. 'This class was part of a study to answer the questions:Why is science difficult for many non science students?What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?
The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing--the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard.But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn´t write anything on the board.
The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects,students need to find layers(层次 of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface;other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn´t happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school.And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).
Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions (定义) when he explains a poem. He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First ,humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, 'We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students. '
But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this:All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.
The experiment was designed to find out __
Ahow to teach the students in the science class
Bwhether poetry is difficult for science students
Cwhat to be taught in the humanities class
Dwhy many humanities students find science hard
参考答案：D

Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.Our expression today is“to face the music”.
When someone says, “well, I guess I'll have to face the music,” it does not mean he's planning to go to the concert.It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn't do this or that.Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children.We can all remember father's angry voice,“I want to talk to you.”and only because we did not obey him.What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old,It is at least 100 years old
And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper.He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage.When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it's time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them.And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines.But he had to go out.If he did not, there would be no play.So the expression“to face the music”come to mean“having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”
Other explanations about the expression go back to the army.When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked
Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the 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.
What's the meaning of “to face the music?”
ATo face something far less pleasant
BTo face the stage
CTo face the back of one's hor
DTo face one's leader
参考答案：A
