Today we have some expressions offered by Francisco Carlos, a listener in Brazil.The first is face the music. One story says the expression began in the theater. New actors, shaking with fear, were told that their only way out was to go out and face the music. The music was played by the musicians seated in front of the stage.A similar expression is face up to. It means to accept something difficult or painful. For example, a man must face up to the fact that he lied about a business deal and will lose his job.A child was told off by his mother at home because of his bad grades in study, but he put a good face on it before his friends.Meeting someone face-to-face can be exciting, especially if the other person is famous. It is an expression one might use after visiting the White House and meeting the president face to face. Or a teacher might ask for a face to-face meeting with the parents of a student in trouble.Almost 500 years ago, William Shakespeare also used some words about music in his play Two Gentlemen of Verona. Valentine secretly loves Lady Sylvia. His servant jokes that Valentines love for her is as hard to see as the nose on a mans face, thus creating another expression: as plain as the nose on your face. Of course, a mans nose cant be hidden.（1）When you have done something wrong, dont .A . face the musicB . face up to itC . put a good face on itD . do it face-to face（2）The underlined phrase as plain as the nose on your face in the last paragraph means something that .A . is hard to seeB . can be coveredC . is very dearD . can be funny（3）The passage is probably taken from a .
