文章大意：本文讲了中国古代有个叫周勇的人从父亲那里继承了很多金元宝。有一天，他要远行，担心金元宝被人家偷走，于是他把装元宝的坛子交给了朋友王武保管，告诉他里面是红枣。王武的妻子偷偷打开了坛子发现了金元宝，并告诉了丈夫。他们把坛子里的金元宝拿了出来，换成了红枣。等周勇回来后把装了红枣的坛子还给了他。一番争执后，他们一起去找县官评理。县官仔细检查了坛子和红枣后要求王武把金元宝还给周勇。

【1】细节理解题。根据原文Before his father died， he left Zhou Yong a great number of gold ingots（元宝）．在他父亲去世之前，他留给周勇很多金元宝；可知周勇是从他父亲那里得到的金元宝，故答案选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据原文they were too heavy for him to bring along with him，它们太重了以至于他不能随身携带着；可知，周勇把罐子给了王武是因为他不能把它带在身边，故答案选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据原文She was shocked when she saw so many ingots inside．当看到里面有许多金元宝的时候她惊呆了；可知，王武的妻子看到那么多的元宝感到非常震惊，故答案选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据原文The magistrate examined the jar and the fresh red dates in it carefully．Then he said："Bring the ingots back，Wang Wu!" 这个县官仔细地检查了这个坛子和新鲜的红枣，然后说：把金元宝拿出来，王五。"因此可知这个县官非常聪明，故答案选C。

【5】推理判断题。根据原文But after the magistrate explained what he knew，但是后来县官解释了他所知道的事情；也就是新鲜的红枣在罐子里面放一年的话，是会坏掉的，而这个罐子里的红枣却是新鲜的；故答案选D。
