I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere , because this is where the weather forms . They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps , they may forecast the weather for a week or more ahead Question: The main idea of this passage is that satellite is now used in _ . Options: A: taking pictures of the atmosphere B: receiving pictures of the atmosphere C: doing other work in many ways D: weather forecasting

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When someone says, "I guess I'll have to face the music", it doesn't mean he is going to a concert. It is something unhappy. For example, a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn't finish his homework. Every American, young or old, knows the phrase "to face the music" well. It's at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from? One explanation is about the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said the expression was first used by actors. When they were asked to perform, they would say, "It's time to face the music." And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage . An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of the audience . But he had to go out. So, "to face the music" came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be, because you had no choice. The other explanation comes from the army. The soldiers had to face their leader's check. They were worried about how well they looked. Were their guns clean enough to pass the check? Still, the men had to go out to face the check. What else could they do? Question: What does the expression "to face the music" exactly mean? Options: A: To go to a concert. B: To become interested in music. C: To join the army. D: To go through something unhappy.
