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 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 interviewed and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Para, a 24-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 experiences, 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 hanging their heads. They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe. 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 Para and Eric appeared from their 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 to be able to stand up,” he said. Para just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she

didn't want to talk to anyone.

What kind of person is Rob Thompson?

A. He is curious about people's personal life.

B. He is kind-hearted to animals.

C. He hates people around.

D. He likes to help poor people.

The underlined word “catch” probably means _____.

A. unsolved problem B. surprising wonder

C. unbelievable fact D. hidden difficulty

Rob offered the money because he wanted _____ .

A. to see if there were any people who would like to live in a cage

B. to show the public how terrible animals' life could be

C. to make more money by publishing the recorded videotapes

D. to improve housing conditions of working people like Eric

Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

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

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