About one hundred and seventy years ago there 1 a great general 2 name was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was leader of the French army, and France was 3 with nearly all the countries around. He wanted very much to take his soldiers into 4 , but between France and Italy there are high mountains called the Alps, 5 are covered with snow.

“Is it possible to cross the Alps?”said Napoleon.

The men who had been sent to look at the 6 over the mountains shook their heads.

Then one of them said,“It may be possible, but…”

“Let me hear 7 ,” said Napoleon. “ 8 to Italy.”

People 9 the thought of an army of sixty thousand men 10 the Alps when there was 11 road. 12 Napoleon waited only to see that everything was in good order, and then he gave the 13 to march.

The long line of soldiers and horses and cannons 14 for twenty miles. When they came to a 15 place where there seemed to be no way to go further, the trumpets(小号) sounded “ 16 !” Then every man 17 , and the whole army moved right forward.

Soon they were 18 over the Alps. In the next four days they were marching 19 the plain of Italy. “The man who has made up his mind to win,”said Napoleon,“will never say: 20 .”

Known as the Animal Lady in this area which I lived in, I was always asked to lend a hand in animal 36 . One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up　 37 my door, saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk. I quickly　 38 　the kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth. I 　39　 and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for　 40 . It seemed fine. I figured the mother must have been killed, leaving it an orphan(孤儿).

I was about to carry it into my 42　 when I found several other babies 　43　 to run down the tree from where their nest was.

The poor starving things went　 48 　as they swallowed the meal.

I phoned a lady in the next town who 49 　a small squirrel shelter. She had a big back yard with large　 50 　surrounded by a tall wooden fence. She assured me she was well　 51 　to care for the babies and provide a natural home for them when they were grown.

　 I am a sales representative 　 and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I 36　 my car,bundled my scarf around me and 　37 up the street towards his shop front.

　　　　 The Street where his store was 38 was partially blocked by two　 large,ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the 39 cat calls(起哄).I was up early,out in the cold,and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even 40　 .

　　　　 Then　 I stopped　 and 4l　 my　 own father. Both he and　 my grandfather　 had 　42 much　 of their early　 careers working outside　 in　　 similar　 jobs before　 they 　43　　 and　 became　 engineers.　　 I recalled how hard Dad worked,in all kinds of 　 44　 -;how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(冻伤）. I realized that if was cold then these　 two　 guys were　 probably 　 45 ，given that it looked as though they'd already been　　　　　 46　 for hours.

　　　　 My customer's　 shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 47 .I Went to　 a coffee sh、op　 around the　 comer, 　 48　 　　　　　myself a hot chocolate,then two　 more　 with whipped cream .I made my　 49　 　　　　 down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with　 a wide smile and 　50 me　 with　 a joking　 "Oh　 lovey，you　 shouldn't have!"　 To his　　 51　 ，I passed him the　 tray with　 the　 two 　 52 　chocolates.I　 replied,"Maybe　 not. 　53 it's　 too　 cold　 to　 be　 working　 outside today。"　　　　

　　　 I got two　 looks　 of genuine　 (真诚的） 54　 ，and　 a　 timely　 reminder　 that it's as easy to be 　55 　as it is to pre-judge—but the former is so much nicer!
