Jiang Sheng is the owner of a fish farm in Changsha. He feeds the fish about 4,000 jin of chillies (辣椒) every day. Many people think it is 1. Someone jokes, “Not only do people in Hunan love spicy (辣的) food, but also the fish in Hunan love the spicy food.”

Jiang said, “Fish can’t taste spiciness, 2 they can smell it and they like it very much. These chillies are from a nearby market for free. They are 3 for fish. Eating chillies keeps fish healthy and makes their meat taste good. *And feeding the fish chillies can help me 4 about 2,000 yuan every day. So I can make more money.”
A researcher says, “Chilli pulp (浆) has been used in fish food 5 a long time. It can make fish eat more and can also make them 6 healthy. The fish meat will not become spicy at all.”
This is really a great way to feed fish!

难句分析
＞ And feeding the fish chillies can help me save about 2,000 yuan every day. 而且用辣椒喂鱼，每天能帮我节省大约2000元。
feeding the fish chillies 意为“喂鱼辣椒”，是句子的主语。help sb (to) do sth 意为“帮助某人做某事”。save 意为“节省”。about 2,000 yuan 意为“大约2000元”。

Friday 选词填空
湖南长沙一养鱼场每天用大量辣椒喂鱼，此举既对鱼的健康有益、又能让鱼肉鲜美，同时还能节约成本。
1. C 由下文Someone jokes, “Not only do people in Hunan love spicy food, but also the fish in Hunan love the spicy food.”可知，大家觉得这件事很有趣，故开玩笑这样说，填fun，故选C。
2. F 上半句“鱼儿品尝不出辣味”和后半句“它们能闻出辣味，而且喜欢这种味道”之间是转折关系，用but连接，故选F。
3. D 由下文Eating chillies keeps fish healthy and makes their meat taste good.可知，吃辣椒能让鱼变得健康，让鱼肉鲜美，说明辣椒对鱼有好处。be good for意为“对……有好处”，是固定搭配，故选D。
4. B 由上文提到的“这些辣椒是从附近市场免费得到的”以及下文So I can make more money.可知，用免费的辣椒喂鱼可以省钱，填save，
意为“节省”，故选B。
5. A 该句意为“……辣椒浆已被用于鱼食很久了”。for a long time表示“很长时间”，是固定搭配，故选A。
6. E 由上文keeps fish healthy可知，此处指这种辣椒浆能让鱼吃得更多，并能让它们保持健康。stay healthy意为“保持健康”，故选E。
