There was a $1,000 reward, a toll-free ( 免费的 ) tip line and a news conference ― all for a lost little bike. The foot-high, 6-inch-wide strange-looking bike belongs to Bello Nock, the breathtaking clown star of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus appearing at Madison Square Garden.

The little bike was taken from a Manhattan street Friday, while Bello clowned around. He and two fellow clowns had put on an unprepared show for a passing camera crew ( 摄制组 ), when Bello rested his bike against a street sign and forgetfully walked away.

 “Can I please have my bike back?” he said a day after the disappearance, adding that he was “very upset.”

The orange-haired, Florida-born clown said he can’t replace his trademark bike, which was built in Mexico City and has been in his family of circus performers for a dozen years.

Without it, the 38-year-old performer once named “America’s Best Clown” by Time magazine will have to change the show named for him ― “Bellobration.”

The bike, which is about as high as his foot, “is not something I can go to buy in a store,” he said. “I’d have to find someone willing and able to make it.”

Anyone with information about the bike is urged ( 强烈要求 ) to call the toll-free number 1-877-606-3052.

 

51. In order to have his bike back Bello took the following measures EXCEPT ______________.

A. to give a $1,000 reward

B. to open a free line

C. to hold a news conference

D. to put up a Missing Things notice

52. Where was the little bike put before it was lost?

A. At the entrance to a cinema.

B. Against a street sign.

C. Under a tree.

D. Beside a shop.

53. As a result of losing the little bike, Bello Nock will have to __________.

A. change the show named “Bellobration”

B. give up the whole show

C. look for another job

D. use a common bike to replace it

54. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?

A. If Bello hadn’t forgotten about the bike, he wouldn’t have lost it.

B. Such a bike can not be bought in an ordinary store.

C. Whoever calls 1-877-606-3052 will cost no money.

D. Bello appeared at Madison Square Garden to attend a show.

55. The passage is probably taken from a ____________
