阅读理解 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. There are no books or television or radio 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 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 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 pipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain, which was the most unbearable. There were no sinks, mirrors or toothbrushes in the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.” Finally, it was over, and 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） What's Rob Thompson's intention of offering the job? A . Making some animals' terrible living conditions seen. B . Conducting an experiment about humans and animals. C . Making a film about humans and animals. D . Showing how terribly a human being is treated in a cage. （2） For the two staying in the cage, which of the following things is the most challenging one? A . That they ate the food for animals B .

Living in the Cage Like a Chicken C . An Easy Way to Earn $2,500 D . Do Not Treat Animals Badly （4） Where would this passage most probably appear? A . In a business journal. B . In a research report.
