A poor traveller stopped under a tree to eat the rice and vegetables which he had brought with him. A few metres away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying fish and selling it to travellers who were able to afford it. This woman watched the poor traveller carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You have not paid me for the fried fish!”
“But I have not had your fried fish!”said the traveller.
“But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and vegetables,” argued the woman. “If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been eaten so pleasantly!”
Soon a crowd collected. Although they supported the poor traveller, they had to agree that the wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he had eaten, and that it had carried the smell of the fried fish to him.
Finally, the woman took the poor traveller to a judge(法官), who said, “The woman says that the traveller ate his meal with the smell of her fish. The traveller agrees that the wind was blowing from the woman's shop to the place where he ate his rice and vegetables and that it carried the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it. What does your fried fish cost?”
“Twentyfive cents a plate,” the woman answered happily.
“Then go outside together,”said the judge.“There the traveller must hold up a 25cent piece so that its shadow(影子) falls on the woman's hand.The price of the smell of a plate of fried fish is the shadow of 25 cents.”
( B )4.According to Paragraph 1, the woman shouted because ________.
A.she wanted to sell her fried fish
B.she wanted the traveller to pay
C.she didn't want the traveller to stand there
D.she wanted to give some food to the traveller
( C )5.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The judge did a wrong thing.
B.The traveller ate a plate of fish.
C.The woman got nothing at last.
D.The traveller gave the woman 25 cents.

A.angry—bored—hopeful
B.rude—angry—pleased
C.angry—rude—pleased
D.rude—pleased—disappointed
