An old woman came into her doctor's office and told him her trouble.
"Dr. Johnson, I don't feel like eating now. It's been like this for long. In fact, since I caught a cold last month, I haven't had a delicious meal. What should I do?"
"Here is some medicine, Mrs. Harris. Take
three pills(药片)three times a day, and come to see me after seven days. Remember you can't eat anything but drink water during the week."
A week later, an upset Mrs. Harris came into Dr. Johnson's office. "Doctor! I did as you told me, but delicious food is still tasteless(无味的)for me. I don't know what is in these pills, but the problem is worse! What have you got to say for yourself?" "But when and how did you take these pills?" asked Dr. Johnson.
"At first, I took these pills three times a day before dinner," continued the woman. "But these pills are too bitter(苦的),so I had to take these pills after three meals."
" Calm down, Mrs. Harris, " said Dr. Johnson .
"Now that we've fixed your sense of taste, we'll work on your hearing!"

(   )5. We can infer that at last____________.
A. nothing was wrong with Mrs. Harris's sense of taste or hearing
B. something was wrong with Mrs. Harris's sense of taste
C. something was wrong with Mrs. Harris's hearing
D. something was wrong with Mrs. Harris's sense of taste and hearing

Hmmmm this one is tricky, my best guess is D. though, given she didn't follow directions, but given she heard him well enough to know to take it three times a day, it might be B., genuinely unsure.

It’s actually A. The joke is she CAN taste (hence why she knows the pills are bitter) and CAN hear but didn’t follow directions.
