                                   Once Napoleon stayed in a small inn(小旅馆). 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?”

66. Why did the innkeeper ask Napoleon to tell him how Napoleon felt when he was being looked for?

A. He wanted to know the difference between a general (将军)and an ordinary person.

B. He looked down upon Napoleon, for he thought a great man shouldn’t be defeated.

C. He showed his mercy to Napoleon in time of danger.

D. He was interested in others’ failure, especially Napoleon’s.

67. Why did Napoleon ordered his men to tie the couple?

A. because he wanted to teach the innkeeper a good lesson for bothering him.

B. because he wanted to kill the couple to get rid of his anger.

C. because he wanted to show that he was so admiring a general that nobody could upset him.

D. because he wanted to made the innkeeper know that a general like him had the same feeling as the ordinary people in face of danger.

68. Which is the best title of the text?

       Whether you're heading into the wild or down the road, it's hard to find a better electronic sidekick than a GPS. (Well, you know, other than a cell phone.)

       Because a GPS has to receive a signal from space, physical impediments(遮挡) like skyscrapers, cliff faces, and even trees can stump(阻断) it. Reception is less of an issue with the ultrasensitive(超灵敏) chipsets in newer models, but if the walls are closing in on you, take a tip from a time when navigation systems weren't the streamlined panels they are today: Hooking up an antenna(天线) will make use of even the most tenuous celestial connection. There's a port on the back of most GPS devices for jacking in.

       You'll also want to remember that a GPS is not a compass: It runs on software. Like your PC, it needs to communicate with the mother ship periodically. Vendors(供应商) refresh firmware and maps on a regular basis, sometimes even daily. These updates deliver new bits of data that significantly affect your gadget's accuracy. But if you live in the boonies(郊区) on a road named after your sister-wife, don't expect NavTeq to come a-knocking with its survey equipment. Fortunately, most companies make it easy to update your own maps. Usually it's as simple as plugging into your home computer, dropping a couple of pins in Google Maps, and clicking Save.

       If you own a new Tom Tom, it's even easier. You can edit maps on the unit itself, though you might not have to: Some of the company's navigation updates themselves. Tom Tom's IQ Routes software takes data from every person who uses the company' gadgets and readjusts its assumptions about which roads you should use and how long a given route will take. It will even change its own maps.

       See, it's not that hard: Your GPS may use NASA technology, but getting the most out of it isn't rocket science.

46. The writer thinks the useful electronic partner is ______besides a cell phone when driving outdoors.

       A. a GPS             B. Tom Tom's IQ Routes              C. a PC        D. NASA

47. Which statement is NOT true about a GPS according to the passage?

       A. It receives a signal from space.

       B. It is not a compass.

       C. It needs to refresh its information.

       D. It has no port to connect other equipment.

48. You may learn from the passage that Tom Tom (Para 4) is _______.

       A. a GPS receiver

       B. a device that can be used to edit maps

       C. a device that can be used to update software

       D. a person who readjusts GPS assumptions

49. The main idea of the last paragraph is _______.

       A. that we should make the most of GPS in rocket science

       B. that getting the most out of GPS is too difficult

       C. getting the most out of GPS is very easy

       D. GPS owns NASA technology

50. Which is not mentioned about a GPS according to the passage?

       A. Its usage.          B. Its price and shape.   C. Its technology.      D. Its benefit.

pecans for us to enjoy later.

Pecan picking was really  22  work and my little basket

was only half full. I wasn’t about to  23  Grandpa down. Just

then something caught my  24  . A large brown squirrel was

a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   25  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel  26  out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.

Not so  27  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   28  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my  29  . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so  30  of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   31  , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d   32  the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that  33  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently  34  my shoulders.

 “That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter  35  of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will  36  the cold winter? ”

“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.

“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take  37  of someone else’s hard work.”

Suddenly felt a bit  38  . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t   39  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filing—the  40  of knowing I had done just the right thing.
