When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music”, it doesn’t mean that he is going to hear a singer. It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that.

Old Cremona Violins
Most musicians(音樂家) agree that the best violins(小提琴) were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(樂器) like the Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special(特殊的). So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape(形狀). The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.
Size and shape may not be the answer, either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.
【小題1】The passage is about          .

A．making violinsB．musical instruments
C．scientific ideasD．the old Italian violins
【小題2】Other people think the Italian violin makers          .
A．did not know much about violinsB．were lucky
C．used many kinds of woodD．knew something special
【小題3】Violins made today          .
A．have the same size and shape as the old ones
B．sound the same as the old ones
C．a(chǎn)re better than the old ones
D．have the same varnish as the old ones
【小題4】Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violins was          .
A．their soundB．their colourC．their varnishD．the music
