There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You cant leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.Two people act

22、ually took the jobThe idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treatedHis goal was to raise peoples awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for foodHe decided to pay $ 5000 out of his own savings to two people who were will

23、ing to lie like chicken for a week.To Robs 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 th

24、ree 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 couldnt stand up without having their heads hit. They ate vegetarian mash（土豆泥）and drank water from a garden tap. Their only privacy

25、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 food the humans.”Finally it was over, Pam and Eric came out from their

26、 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. “Its great to be able to stand up,” he saidPam just changed her clothes and left.

30、 passage?AEasy Way to Earn $ 2,500.BDo Not Food the Humans.CLiving Like a Chicken.DGetting Along Well Anyway.CThe English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes from the verb to “cop”, meaning to “take” or “capture”, and the second

31、 comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, the nineteenth-century politician, who was the founder of the police force as we know it today. An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this one has died out.Whatever we may call them, the general opinion about the police seems to be a goo

32、d one except, of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more bad nicknames which came from America, such as “fuzz” or “pig”. Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. It has, in fact, become a standing joke that the visi

33、tor to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character. A music-hall song of some years ago was called, “If You Want To Know T

34、he Time, Ask A Policeman”. Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!Two things are

35、noticeable to the stranger, when he sees an English policeman for the first time. The first is that he does not carry a gun and the second is that he wears a very special type of helmet(頭盔). His helmet, together with his height, enables an English policeman to be seen from a long distance, a fact th

36、at is not without its usefulness. From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a gun and that his helmet should be taken from him, but both these suggestions are not accepted by the majority of the public and the police themselves.51The nickname that is not used now is _. Api

CThe British bobby is friendly but not helpful. DThe English police enjoy having guns.53If you see an English police

38、man for the first time, you will probably notice at once that _. Ahe often tells people timeBhe is usually trying to tell others the time Che has a helmet on his headDhe wears special clothes54In London, what do the policemen often do during their work-time nowadays? ADirect anyone in the cityBTell

Athey are armed with modern equipmentBthey wear special helmets Cthey are often given thanks by peopleDthey are polite and helpfulDSince the beginning of history, man has been attracted by

40、 the idea of living forever, of wining the fight against death and disease. So far, this has only remained a dream, though a very powerful one. Many people have wondered whether it would be possible to find a way to preserve(保存) human bodies, and what would be the best way to preserve human bodies.I

41、t has long been known that meat or fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by freezing; in ancient China, for example, food was stored with ice to keep it fresh. This method could also be useful for preserving humans, and in fact many people have explored this possibility.However, most living being

42、s that exist under warm conditions die when frozen. This is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals（晶體）, which form sharp cutting shapes that harm the cells.In the 1940s, Dr BJ. Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on the problem of freezing cells without damaging

43、them. Since the harm caused by ice crystals was the main cause of the damage, Luyet suggested removing some or all of the water from the cells before freezing them.Using living cells from chicken, Luyet and his assistants discovered that they could partly dry the chicken cells, using a mixture of th

44、e white part of an egg and glycerin(甘油). Some success was achieveDThe chicken cells were dried, frozen for a period of time, and then carefully unfrozen. Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal temperatures.Since then, the cooling of whole animals to a temperature very much below fre

45、ezing point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility, and the glycerin method would probably be used to do this. When this can be done completely and successfully, science will have moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing incurable patients until the day they can be cured.5

46、6The passage is mainly about _. Athe possibility of preserving human bodies by freezing Bthe practice of preserving food by freezing Cthe harmful effects of freezing Dhow to remove water from living cells57The idea of freezing human bodies to preserve them _. Acomes from that of keeping meat and fru
