Ⅳ.阅读短文,完成下列各题
Once upon a time, there was a salt seller. He used to carry the salt bag on his donkey(驴) to the market. Along the way, they had to cross a river.
One day, when they crossed the riv- er, the donkey slipped(滑倒) and the salt bag fell into the water. The salt seller helped the donkey get out of the water. The donkey noticed that the bag became lighter—some of the salt dissolved(溶解) in water. The donkey was so happy.
The next day, as they crossed the river, the donkey slipped into the water on purpose(故意地). Like the day be- fore, his bag soon became lighter. The excited donkey decided to keep using this trick.
However, the salt seller came to un- derstand the trick and decided to teach the donkey a lesson. On the third day, he put a cotton(棉花) bag on the don- key. As they reached the river, the don- key once again played the same trick. What happened this time? When the don- key came out of the water, he noticed how heavy his bag was. He could hardly walk, but the salt seller made him carry on until they arrived at the market.
1. Where did the salt seller do business(生意)?
2. Why was the donkey happy on the first day?
3. What do the underlined words "this trick" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
4. How was the cotton bag after the don- key got out of water?
5. How do you like the salt seller?
