Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Michael Stadtlander set Toronto's restaurant world on fire in the 1980s with his original food, and established a national and international fame. In 1994,however,he decided to leave the city restaurant scene and seek a quiet life in the country, where he has been preparing meals on his farm two hours north of Toronto and asks guests to bring their own wine.
Not long ago, Stadlander was charged with selling liquor without a licence. He said when a guest asked for wine at a dinner in December, he provided two bottles from his private stock.But the customer turned out to be an undercover Ontario Provincial Police(OPP) officer who returned a few days later along with four armed officers to seize 83 bottles of wine,and to search the farmhouse for records. The punishment could run as high as $100,000 in fines and a year in jail.
When Mr and Mrs Smith arrived at the farm on a weekend before Christmas, they said that it was their annual celebration and asked if they could get some wine. Nobuyo, Stadtlander's wife,told them the policy was that guests provide their own.
Given the occasion, though, Stadtlander agreed to provide a bottle of white wine from own cellar,at cost,as a favor, Later, Mr Smith asked for a second bottle and a detailed receipt that included the price of the wine. He turned out to be OPP Detective Paul Smith and "his wife,"an assistant who went as a witness.
"I was shocked,"Nobuyo Stadtlander recalls."How could thy do this to us when we did them a favor?We sold them our wine at our cost." But Mr.Smith say," No.they made $1.20."Stadtlander is determined to prove his innocence and continue the business.
