摘要: Which of the following is NOT true about Tokyo? A.Tokyo people are friendly. B.There are more trains than cars. C.Fire-engines are very busy in the city. D.The streets become more crowded at 11:30 at night. B A 26-year-old Montreal man appears to have succeeded in his quest to barter a single. red paper clip all the way up to a house. It took almost a year and 14 trades. but Kyle MacDonald has been offered a two-storey farmhouse in Kipling. Sask.. for a paid role in a movie. MacDonald began his quest last summer when he decided he wanted to live in a house. He didn’t have a job. so instead of posting a resumé. he looked at a red paper clip on his desk and decided to trade it on an Internet website. The response was immediate -a fish pen was offered for exchange. MacDonald then bartered the fish pen for a handmade doorknob from a potter in Seattle. In Massachusetts. MacDonald traded the doorknob for a camp stove. He traded the stove to a U.S. soldier in California for a generator. Then he exchanged the generator for an “instant party kit - an empty keg and an illuminated Budweiser beer sign. MacDonald then traded the keg and sign for a snowmobile. He bartered all the way up to an afternoon with rock star Alice Cooper. a KISS snow globe and finally a paid role in a Corbin Bernsen movie. “Now. I’m sure the first question on your mind is. `Why would Corbin Bernsen trade a role in a film for a snow globe? A KISS snow globe.’ MacDonald said on his website. Well. Corbin happens to be arguably one of the biggest snow globe collectors on the planet. Now. the town of Kipling. Sask.. Canada. with a population of 1,100. has offered MacDonald a farmhouse in exchange for the role in the movie. The town is going to hold a competition for the movie role. MacDonald said: “There’re people all over the world that are saying that they have paper clips clipped to the top of their computer. or on their desk or on their shirt. and it proves that anything is possible and I think to a certain degree it’s true. MacDonald. who has attracted international media attention in his quest. said the journey has turned out to be more exciting than the goal. “This is not the end. This may be the end of this part of the story. but this story will go on.

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.

In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.

At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.

The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.

During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.

In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.
