B. 根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
Once upon a time, the king of Qin wanted to make new rules for the state(国家). He thought it would help the state progress. He asked an official, Shang Yang, to tell the new rules to the public (公众).
Shang Yang got the order from the king. But he didn't do it right away. He knew it would be hard for the public to believe and follow the new rules. So he thought of an idea. He put a notice in the market. The notice said he would give away much money to a person in the market. But there was a rule — the person must carry a heavy piece of wood(木头) to the north of the market. At first, no one believed Shang Yang. They talked to each other and all agreed that Shang Yang lied to them. Shang Yang waited and waited. Still, no one came. Then he said, “I will give the person more money!” Finally, a man said he could try. So Shang Yang let him carry the wood and go. As the man went to the north of the market, Shang Yang followed him to make sure no people helped him and he didn't use any tools(工具). At the same time, many people also followed the two, hoping to see if Shang Yang could keep his promise.
In the end, the man finished the work. And Shang Yang gave him the money. Seeing this, the public believed Shang Yang's words and started to follow the new rules.
