新航道雅思培训团队党老师范文：
I’d like to share with you an interesting historical e(历史的)vent that happened in Xia Dynasty. It’s a story in our history textbook about a stupid king whose name I couldn’t remember exactly. Anyway, this king married a queen who was drop-dead gorge(极其引人注目的)ous, howe(华丽的)ver, there’s one thing that really bugged him, and that is, his queen hardly ever smiled, and that’s how she got the nickname “Ice Quee(绰号)n”. The King racked his brains tr(变形)ying to find a way to make her smile, but failed every time. He even promised that anyone who could put a smile on the queen’s face would get a thousand boxes of gold. One day, someone at the court suggested that the king could light the warning beacons that are normal(灯塔)ly used to summon armies from sur(召唤)rounding states in times of danger. He explained, the queen must find it hilarious when the nobles(欢闹的) arrived and realized they got played. The king thought he had a point, so he took the advice. And the guy was right. The queen did burst out laughing when she saw the nobles hurry to the court only to find that it was a false alarm. If you ask me, the king was so out of line, and the worst part is, he did the same thing several times to please his queen, and finally lost the trust of the nobles. When he was actually in danger, no one came to his rescue.
So you see, it’s kind of a funny and sad history story, and somehow it’s usually told as a cautionary tal(警告的)e of how one beauty can topple a c(推翻)ountry.
