Louis invited his friends to lunch one day. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 【1】 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Louis called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much 【2】 too little.”

His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 【3】 not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very 【4】 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Louis said.

Louis’s guests, 【5】 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy sale more cheaply if they could. Louis replied, “The only reason why a man would sell sale 【6】 a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect for the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce 【7】 .”

“But such a small thing couldn’t 【8】 (possible) destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only 【9】 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 【10】 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”

【解析】

本文通过Louis叫儿子去买盐要给合理价格的故事说明，一定要公平对待他人，尊重努力工作的人的汗水和努力。

【1】found 考察时态语态。在主格人称代词he后应为谓语动词，“invited”用一般过去时。由语境由Suddenly可知，用一般过去时。

【2】nor 考察固定搭配，表示“既不…也不…”，构成并列连词故用“neither…nor…”。

【3】why 考察句意理解。因why not do sth （何不做某事）？是固定句式。

【4】reasonable 考察词性转化。在名词前作定语要用形容词。“thing”需一个形容词修饰，very也只能修饰形容词，故用reasonable。

【5】who 考察定语从句关系代词，并在从句中作主语，指代前面先行词“guests”。 指人，故用who。

【6】at 考察固定介词短语与price搭配，表示“以更低价格”用 at a lower price，故用at。

【7】it 考察代词。it 指代salt.

【8】possibly 考察词性转化。提示词修饰动词“destroy”，用副词，故用possibly。

【9】a 考察冠词。amount为单数可数名词，第一次出现，表示一个很小的数量。a small amount of（少量的）是固定搭配。

【10】thinking 考察非谓语做伴随状语。因everyone与think是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作added的伴随状语。
