Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy¡¯s War and Peace, is more than once described as having ¡°fat little hands.¡¯¡¯ Nor does he ¡°sit well or firmly on the horse.¡¯¡¯ He is said to be ¡°undersized.¡¯¡¯ with¡°short legs¡¯¡¯ and a ¡°round stomach¡±. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy¡¯s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts£ºother things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy¡¯s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose¡ªand that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(ɳ»Ê), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry£ºdoesn¡¯t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. ¡°That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!¡± he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon ¡°walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.¡¯¡¯
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. ¡°He raised his hand to the Russian¡¯s¡face,¡± Tolstoy writes, and ¡°taking him by the ear pulled it gently¡.¡± To have one¡¯s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. ¡°Well, well, why don¡¯t you say anything?¡¯¡¯ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.

Jodie Foster was born on Nobember 19,1962,in Los Angeles, Carlif., US. She is an American film actress who began her career as a mature(³ÉÊìµÄ) child actress.
Jodie began her performing career as a very young child in television, appearing first in commercials(ÉÌÒµ¹ã¸æ). She starred in her own short-lived series, Paper Moon (1974), based on the 1973 film of the same name. She appeared in a number of Disney films, beginning with Napoleon and Samantha (1972).
Director Martin Scorsese cast Jodie in a bit part in Alice Doesn¡¯t live Here Anymore (1974) before giving her the role of Iris in Taxi Driver (1976). Her mature performance in Taxi Driver earned her an Academy Award nomination(ÌáÃû) as best supporting actress. Her later films as child actress were less impressive, but her performances were always admired. Jodie graduated from Yale University in 1985.

In The Silence of the Lames (1991), she tracks a killer as FBI agent Clarice Starling. Both performances won her Academy Awards as best actress.
In 1990s, Jodie went into other areas of filmmaking. She directed her best film, Little Man Tate, in 1991,in which she also co-starred. In 1994, she co-produced Nell, for which she also received an Oscar nomination for best actress. In 1997, Foster starred in Contact.

An ancient philosopher¡¯s wisdom can be compared in value to gold. Now ¡°The Art of War¡± by the great thinker Sun Tzu has actually been printed on pure gold. There are 5,000 of these bookstores across China, costing 19,600 yuan each.
Known as the world¡¯s oldest book on military strategy(¾üʲßÂÔ), it was originally written on bamboo strips(Öñ¼ò). Sun Tzu lived in about 500 BC in the late Spring and Autumn Period. There is little information about Sun Tzu¡¯s real life.
But according to one story, the king asked Sun Tzu to gibe a demonstration of his way of training the army. Two groups of the king¡¯s concubines(åú×Ó) played the soldiers and two of the king¡¯s favourites acted as commanders. Sun Tzu gave them orders, but they thought it was just a game and couldn¡¯t stop laughing. Sun Tzu said, ¡°if the order is not clear it¡¯s my fault, but if the order is and soldiers don¡¯t obey, it¡¯s the commanders¡¯ fault.¡± He then killed the two commanders, despite the king¡¯s protest. When Sun Tzu gave new orders, the concubines performed perfectly.
Sun Tzu¡¯s book became popular with leaders in Asia and later in the West. In 1782 a Frenchman named Amiot took the book to Europe. It is said that Napoleon used its principles while conquering Europe.
¡°The Art of War¡± is today used in business, sport, diplomacy(Íâ½») and even relationships. Sun Tzu is possibly the most quoted(ÒýÓÃ) Chinese in the world. One saying is, ¡°If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.¡±

Why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there¡¯s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence. The French had used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand rivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic traveled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (ºóÃæµÄ) left horse in order to wave his whip with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they traveled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908; the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially¡ if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the western world¡¯s few remaining holdouts. Several Asian countries, including Japan, use the left as well ¡ª thought many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?
| A£®They had used the right-hand since the 18th century. |
| B£®Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right. |
| C£®Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country. |
| D£®Hitler ordered them to go to against their left-hand tradition. |
| A£®Austria | B£®England | C£®Japan | D£®Australia |
| A£®in order to change traffic directions in the U.S. |
| B£®so that passengers could get off conveniently |
| C£®because rules at that time weren¡¯t perfect |
| D£®though many countries were strongly against that |
| A£®Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right. |
| B£®People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays. |
| C£®The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970. |
| D£®All the Asian nations use the left at present. |
| A£®Who made the great contributions to the shift of traffic directions? |
| B£®How cars have become a popular means of transportation? |
| C£®How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left? |
| D£®Why don¡¯t people all drive on the same side of the road? |
