【3】came

【4】so

【5】remember

【解析】

店主看到来住店的客人的包，认为里面有很多钱，于是便想占为己有。他们夫妻二人想出一个办法，把健忘草拌在客人的饭里，想让他第二天起来时忘记去寻找自己的包。可是客人却在第二天一早就离开了，连住宿费都忘了付。店主夫妻害人不成反害了自己。

【1】根据文中句子：Look at his bag, there must be much money in it. Let's take it away when he is asleep, shall we?知店主人想趁这个老人睡着的时候，偷走老人的袋子。want to do想要做某事。故填steal

【2】根据文中句子：No, no.” said the woman知他妻子不同意他的想法，disagree不同意，用于复述故事，采用一般过去时态。所以答案是disagreed

【3】本句的意思是“她有一个主意把健忘草放进老人的食物里，老人就能忘记他的袋子”。come up with a good idea有个好主意；用于复述故事，采用过去时态故答案是came。

【4】本句的意思是：他们把健忘草放进老人的食物里，以便老人忘记他的袋子。So that以便，以致于。结合原文的故事情节及本句的意思，答案填so.

【5】本句的意思是：这个老人真的忘记了什么事情——他没记得付住宿的钱。结合原文He forgot to pay for the night.。forgot（忘记）就是didn’t remember（不记得）。故答案填remember。
