四、阅读理解
There is a scholar (学者) in Yunnan. He studies hard day and night on an island. His wife (妻子) is very kind. She crosses a bridge (桥) to take meals to him every day. It is far from their home to the island so the food gets cold and tastes bad when she gets there. As time goes by, the scholar is becoming thin and not in good health, so his wife is worried (担心的) about his health.
One day, the scholar's wife cooks chicken soup in an earthen pot (砂锅). She puts some rice noodles, some pieces of meat and vegetables into it. When she crosses the bridge on the way to the island, she falls (摔倒) and can't stand up for a long time. When she arrives, she is surprised that the earthen pot is still hot. Her husband is surprised, too. They find two secrets: there is thick chicken oil (油) on the surface (表面) of the soup and the earthen pot can keep the heat in. As a result, the soup is hot and delicious.
After that, the scholar eats well and becomes healthy. Finally (最终), he succeeds (成功) in the exams. Then crossing-over bridge rice noodles become famous and popular.
