Question

The sun went down when an old man came to a small mountain village with a heavy bag. He found an inn(小旅館) and wanted to stay there for the night.
After he had gone to his room, the owner of the inn said to his wife, “Look at his heavy bag, dear! I’m sure there’re a lot of valuable(貴重的) things. I want to steal it when he’s asleep tonight.” “No, no,” said his wife. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you to the police station.”
They thought hard and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman. “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he’ll forget to take his bag away tomorrow morning.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “don’t forget it when you cook supper for him.”
The old man had the food with forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left. He looked for the bag for a long time, but he didn’t find it. He hurried to wake his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all!”
“No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so. He must forget something.”
“Oh, I’ve remembered!” the owner called out suddenly, “He forgot to pay us the bill!”

1.由本文的第一句可知，老人在太陽落山的時候提著重包來到了一個小山村，然后發現了一家旅館想在此住一夜，所以我們可以說老人到達旅館時手上拿著重包，故本題選B。
2.本文的第五行有一句是 I want to steal it when he’s asleep tonight.意思為當老人今天晚上睡覺的時候，我想偷掉他的包，所以可以判斷旅館的主人想偷老人的包，故本題選C。
3.本文第二段第一，二行有兩句是We have forgetful grass,Why not put some into his food? 意思為我們有健忘草，我什么不把它放到事物里讓老人吃，所以可知旅館的那個老婦人把健忘草放到老人的食物里，故本題選D。
4.根據本文最后一段第二，三行可知店主醒來，發現門開著，老人已經走了，然后尋找老人的包，找不到，所以時候第二天早老人帶著重包走了，故本題選D。
5.本文的最后一句是He forgot to pay us the bill!意思為老人忘記付錢了，故本題選A。
