Once Napoleon stayed in a small inn. The next morning, he went to thank the innkeeper.
“You have served me well, innkeeper,” said Napoleon. “I wish to reward you. Tell me what you want.”
“Sir, we want nothing,” said the innkeeper. “But will you tell us something?”
“What is it?” Napoleon asked.
“We have heard a story,” said the innkeeper, “that once during the war, a small village was taken by the Russians. You happened to be in the village. You hid while they looked for you. Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you?” Napoleon looked very angry. He called in two of his soldiers. Then he pointed to the door. The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard.
At the end of the yard was a wall. The innkeeper and his wife were led to the wall. The soldiers tied the hands of the innkeeper and his wife. Napoleon watched, saying nothing.
“Please, sir.” begged the innkeeper, “Don’t kill us! We meant nothing!” The soldiers moved back. The innkeeper saw them raising their guns. Then Napoleon called: “Ready! Aim!” The wife screamed. “Stop!” said Napoleon. He went to the innkeeper, “Now, you know the answer to the question you asked me just now, don’t you?”

[2017·云南师范大学附属中学高三高考适应性考试(四)]
“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to accomplish so much?” Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller.
Ms Keller answered, “If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”
In fact, “Little Annie”, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” and was locked in the basement of a mental institution. On occasion, Little Annie would even violently attack anyone who came near.
An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. She still continued to visit for she believed Little Annie could recover, if she was shown love.
Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they witnessed anger and coldness they noted gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.
Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her,played with her and worked with her until the weak candle became a beacon of light to the world. She worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.
“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.” But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. And how far forward will it lead?
1.When she was young, Little Annie________.
A.enjoyed being locked in the basement of a mental institution
B.complained about her loneliness
C.showed her friendly attitude to others
D.suffered from mental illness
2.Why did the “hopeless” Little Annie change into a helpful one?
A.Because an efficient way was found by doctors to cure her illness.
B.Because a nurse who was concerned about her helped her constantly.
C.Because she was taken good care of by her relative.
D.Because the illness was defeated by her own strong will.
3.How did Anne Sullivan help Helen Keller?
A.She devoted all her time to dealing with everything for Helen Keller.
B.She promised Helen Keller never to leave her.
C.She trained Helen Keller to control her behaviour.
D.She encouraged Helen Keller to make friends with others.
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A.A caring nurse
B.Chain of love
C.Without respect, without success
D.God helps those who help themselves

With the summer holiday just around the comer, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. Here are some lips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists. 1.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new? 2. During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
3.
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to 8tay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Choose local transportation
4. Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.
Don’t hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything. Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc. are very expensive at these places. 5. Bargain hard to get the best price.
A. Save on hotels.
B. Surf the Internet while traveling.
C. So it’s best to find out when the off-season starts.
D. Therefore, avoid buying anything there.
E. Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F. For this reason, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G. As a tourist, avoid taking taxis whenever possible, since they are expensive.
