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 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. 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. 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
3. 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
四、阅读填句
Growth is painful. It’s like clearing out your drawers by pulling out every little thing inside of you, examining it, and deciding whether to throw it out or not. It can be scary. Therefore, if you have the following feelings, that’s the beginning of growing.
Uncertainty
During the process of growth, you should feel uncertain. 1 . Let it run its course and enjoy the aimlessness as much as you can.
Self-doubt
2 . Everything you’ve come to know about yourself and your life is now being examined. If you’re not feeling self-doubt, you’re not going deep enough. Keep digging. The moment that you feel self-doubt is the dark night before the dawn.
Insecurity(不安全感)
Many people believe that insecurity is shameful. However, it means that you are moving from one stage to the next. You are stepping into a completely unknown part of yourself. 3 .
Fear
Do you know why you’ve been kept away from your chances to grow 4 . Keep moving forward and pushing beyond it.
Anxiety
Where there is insecurity, fear, and uncertainty, there is surely anxiety. Anxiety is part of growth. You have very little control over what happens to you. However, you can control how you react to it. You can choose to stick your head in the sand and stay the same, or you can grow and be free. 5 .
A. The choice is yours
B. You don’t know where to go yet
C. Be grateful for these scary feelings
D. You’re growing into a whole new stage

(你必须和一个陌生人在一个鸡笼里待上整整一个星期。)”及however“然而”可知, 画线词所在句与上文构成转折关系, 说明挣钱不是那么容易, 含有“隐藏的困难”。另外, 第四段中的“The week was long and difficult. ”也是提示。故选D。
