The main attractions were flowers, fountains, dancing, fireworks, games, stage shows and some simple amusement rides. These pleasure gardens were early amusement parks, from which theme parks developed.In the late 1880s，with the decline(衰退) of pleasure gardens in Europe, amusement parks spread to North America, mostly to solve the money problem of railway companies. People used railway services a lot during the week to go to work, but much less on weekends and other holidays. Therefore, amusement parks were built at the end of railway lines so that people would use the railways every day. In 1894, Paul Boyton, an Irish American, built the worlds first modern amusement park called Paul Boytons Water Chutes in Chicago, USA. Since then, amusement parks have grown in number and size.Today, there are still many amusement parks around the world. For example, Bakken Amusement Park in Denmark, which was opened in the 1580s, is the oldest amusement park in the world.Modern theme parks grew out of amusement parks. Different from amusement parks, theme parks place more importance on showing themes or ideas in some related(相关的 ) areas. These theme areas recreated a special time and place for visitors to enjoy themselves. Common themes are culture, fantasy, history and religion.The most important theme park began with a mouse and a man, Walter Elias Disney, better known as Walt Disney.1.

When someone says they have to “face the music“, it does not mean they are going to a musical performance or concert. To “face the music“ means to accept the unpleasant results of an action.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while Im away. But please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car and you are not on the insurance.“But you do not listen. You want to show off to some friends and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is severe. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music“.The “music“ here is the consequence or 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 “take your 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 very interesting beginning. We will talk about that on another Words and Their Stories.5. Which of the following expressions doesnt have the same meaning with the others?A. Face the music. B. Take your medicine.C. Make your bed. D. Pay the piper.6. What may be talked about in the next programme?A. Other words and their stories. B. The beginning of “pay the piper“.C. The wider use of “face the music“.D. An example of “take your medicine“.7. What does “face the music“ mean?A. Going to a musical performance.B. Accepting the unpleasant results of an action.C. Dealing with the situation you have caused.D. Apologizing to the person you have hurt.8. Which action belongs to a “take your medicine“?A. You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.B. You worked hard but failed in the exam.C. You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.D. You caught a cold and took some medicine.【答案】【语篇解读】本文介绍了美国的一些习语，它们都听起来很好，但实际却指不好的结果。7. B 【解析】细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知，B 选项切题。8. A 【 解析】推理判断题。由倒数第二段第一句可知，take your medicine指的是要接受你的不好的行为产生的后果，故 A 选项切题。CGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle.

Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together.
