    A poor traveller stopped under the tree to eat the boiled 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 （油炸） fish and selling it to travellers. The woman watched the poor traveller carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You haven't paid me for the fried fish!”

　　“But I have not had any fried fish!” he said.

　　“But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and vegetables ,” said the woman , “If you had not smelled the fish , your meal would not have been so pleasant!”

　　Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveller, they had to admit that 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 , who said , “The woman says that the traveller ate his meal with the smell of her fried 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” he asked the woman.

　　“Twenty-five cents a plate ,” she answered , delighted.

　　“Then go outside together,” said the judge. “There the traveller must hold up a twenty-five cent 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 twenty-five cents.”

On August 27, 1783, the people of the village of Gomesse, in France, looked up into the sky and saw a strange and terrible animal. It was huge and round, flying down from the sky. It landed in the field just outside the village. It was clear to the people of Gomesse that they had to defend themselves. The animal was clearly some kind of terrible “spirit”. They were afraid of the spirit but they were also very brave. They rushed out into the field and fought the animal with knives and sticks and farming tools. The “spirit” made terrible noises, like an animal that can breathe only with great difficulty.

But that was not the worst thing. When the villagers cut into the spirit's skin, it gave off a horrible smell, and even after the villagers had cut the thing open, it still moved. Finally the villagers tied it to a horse. The horse ran through the fields and the “Spirit” was torn to pieces. What was the terrible spirit? The answer is that it was one of the first “hot air balloons气球”. Its skin was made of silk and a kind of rubber. The terrible smell was the hot air inside the balloon. When the air got out through the cuts in the skin, it also caused the horrible noises.?

1. The terrible noises were made because        .?

A. the spirit could hardly breathe

     If you know how to study wine, it can tell you about its history and qualities. Many wine experts can
even identify the kind of wine without ever seeing the label on the bottle. Studying a wine involves using
several senses, not just taste.
     First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it. It might help to put a piece of white paper behind the
glass so you can see the color clearly. Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes, where the wine is from
and its age. A white wine might be almost colorless. White wines to darker with age. White wines made
from grapes grown in a cool climate are often paler, with a higher amount of acid. White wines from grapes
grown in a warmer climate are often yellower, with less acid. The color of red wines can be purplish red
to brick red. Red wines often become paler with age. Red wines grown in warmer climates often have deeper
color than those grown in cooler climates.
     Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside. This brings air into the wine, so that it gives
off its smell. Smell the wine deeply. A wine's smell is actually telling more than its taste. To use a wine term,
what can you learn about the wine from its "nose"? Is the wine fruity? Does it smell like oak (橡树)? Do you
smell grass or maybe honey? Maybe the smell is like butter or a mineral.
     Now it is time to taste the wine. Move it around in your mouth. You may recognize some tastes because
you identified them while smelling the wine. You can also consider the wine's sweetness and its acidity (酸性).
You may note the taste of tannin. Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes. Tannins
taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth. To make a good wine requires a balance between sugar, acidity,
tannin and alcohol.
     Professional wine tasters have many special words to describe wines. Some adjectives might be surprising.
For example, a wine that feels smooth might be described as "velvety" or "silky". A wine that does not have
enough acidity is "flabby" or "fat". A wine with a strong tannin taste could be "chewy".

1. The wine taster often puts a piece of white paper behind the wine glass with the purpose of ____.
A. seeing the color clearly
B. blocking the strong sunlight
C. gathering the smell
D. spotting the grapes
2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The paler red wines are, the younger they are.
B. The paler red wines are, the older they are.
C. The darker white wines are, the younger they are.
D. The older red wines are, the sweeter they are.
3. In which order should we use our senses when we study wine?
A. Taste→sight→smell.
B. Smell→taste→sight.
C. Smell→sight→taste.
D. Sight→smell→taste.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How can we study a wine?
B. How can we introduce a wine?
C. How can we taste a wine?
D. How can we make a wine?
