    A 26-year-old Montreal man appears to have succeeded in his quest to barter a single， red paper clip(夹子) 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(小桶) 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.”

    The best title for this passage is “　　　　”.

    A.A lucky paper clip    B. From poor to rich

    C.A lucky young man   D. From paper clip to house

    The underlined word in line 1 means 　　　　.

    A. to get something for free    B. to sell something at a price

    C. to sell goods on the Internet  D. to exchange goods for other goods

    Which shows the correct order of the trades？

    A. Paper clip?snow globe?snowmobile?house

    B. Paper clip?keg of beer?doorknob?snowmobile

    C. Paper clip?camp stove?snowmobile?movie role

    D. Paper clip?keg of beer?camp stove?snowmobile

    Which statement about MacDonald’s trades is TRUE？

    A. All of his trades were done in his country.

    B.A film role was offered due to Bernsen’s hobby.

    C. They took over a year and some of them were really unbelievable.

    D. The house in Kipling has been offered to MacDonald to attract media.

    What can we learn about MacDonald？

    A. He wanted to gain fame through his quest.

    B .His success largely depended on the Internet.

    C. He never expected his aim could be achieved.

    D. He intends to begin another quest on the Web.

    The Writers' Strike：Making the Best of the Worst
    By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working. With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.
    Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.
    For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock. Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.
    If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking. If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .
    If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV. Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.
    【小题1】If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch      .

    A．Friday Night Lights B．30 Rock
    C．the Amazing RaceD．Saturday Night Live
    【小题2】From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that　　　.
    A．two teams won the amazing race
    B．football fans enjoy the Amazing Race
    C．the Bluths care about their family though selfish
    D．30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common
    【小题3】The author writes the passage to tell us that       .
    A．the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great
    B．the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation
    C．watching DVD is a good choice during the strike
    D．we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes
    【小题4】The passage is most probably taken from      .
    A．a book reviewB．a newspaperC．a film posterD．a DVD menu
