How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.

Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.

The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without banging their heads. They ate mash(a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden hose-pipe(软管). Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.’’

Finally it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great for me to be able to stand up.’’he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone.

1.The underlined word “catch”(in Paragraph 1) probably means _______.

A.unsolved problem B.surprising wonder C.unbelievable condition D.hidden difficulty

2.What made it the most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?

A.That they had nothing for amusement. B.That they couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.

C.That they didn’t have meat to eat. D.That they had to do almost everything in public.

3.Rob Thompson offered the job in order to ________.

A.make a film about humans and animals B.advertise for his experiment about animals

C.show how terribly some animals are treated D.experiment on how long a human can live in a cage

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Pam left without saying anything because she lost the ability after staying with chickens.

B.They were visited all the time except going to the washroom.

C.Rob Thompson raised money for the project.

D.They couldn’t stand up because their heads were bandaged.

5.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.An Easy Way to Earn $2,500. B.Do Not Feed Humans.

C.Living Like a Chicken. D.Getting Along Well Anyway.

请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,完成下面的信息卡。

We often dine out with others, but do you know some basic etiquette(礼节)? If you behave well at the table, it will make your partners happy. But if you don't know how to behave yourself, you will feel embarrassed. Here are some tips for the table etiquette.

When helping a woman pull her chair to the table, hold it and guide it. Don't shove(碰撞)it against the back of her legs. If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests, wait for everyone to be served and for the hostess(女主人)to begin eating before you dig in. At a long banquet table, it's OK to start when several people are seated and served.

If you prefer not to have wine while dining out, don't turn your glass upside down, and don't make a big deal of saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim(边缘)of the glass and say “Not today, thanks.”

When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom, just say “Please excuse me.”

When out with friends or family—even at a fancy restaurant—it's OK to ask for your leftovers(吃剩的饭菜)to be wrapped. But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.
