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】

本文通過(guò)Louis叫兒子去買(mǎi)鹽要給合理價(jià)格的故事說(shuō)明，一定要公平對(duì)待他人，尊重努力工作的人的汗水和努力。

【1】found 考察時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)。在主格人稱代詞he后應(yīng)為謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，“invited”用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。由語(yǔ)境由Suddenly可知，用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。

【2】nor 考察固定搭配，表示“既不…也不…”，構(gòu)成并列連詞故用“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 考察詞性轉(zhuǎn)化。在名詞前作定語(yǔ)要用形容詞。“thing”需一個(gè)形容詞修飾，very也只能修飾形容詞，故用reasonable。

【5】who 考察定語(yǔ)從句關(guān)系代詞，并在從句中作主語(yǔ)，指代前面先行詞“guests”。 指人，故用who。

【6】at 考察固定介詞短語(yǔ)與price搭配，表示“以更低價(jià)格”用 at a lower price，故用at。

【7】it 考察代詞。it 指代salt.

【8】possibly 考察詞性轉(zhuǎn)化。提示詞修飾動(dòng)詞“destroy”，用副詞，故用possibly。

【9】a 考察冠詞。amount為單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞，第一次出現(xiàn)，表示一個(gè)很小的數(shù)量。a small amount of（少量的）是固定搭配。

【10】thinking 考察非謂語(yǔ)做伴隨狀語(yǔ)。因everyone與think是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作added的伴隨狀語(yǔ)。
