1. (2017七下·广州期末) 根据材料内容，选择正确答案。

    It was a very hot day. Two farmers, Jack and Jim, sat in the shade of a large tree. Both of them were eating chapattis (印度薄饼) for lunch. Jack had three pieces of the flat, round Indian bread while Jim had five. As they were about to begin their meal, a young nobleman (贵族) went by.

    "Good day! Good sirs!" said the nobleman. The nobleman looked very hungry and tired, so Jack and Jim invited the man to eat with them.

    "How can we divide these eight chapattis into three equal parts among the three of us?" asked Jack.

    "Let us stack(叠起来) them up and cut the chapattis into three equal parts," suggested Jack.

    After cutting the chapattis, they shared the parts equally, and no one ate more or less than anyone else.

    After they finished the meal, the nobleman insisted on(坚持)paying for his meal. He put six coins in Jack's hand and ten coins into Jim's hand. And the two men were both very glad!
