　　Soon after he went blind, Ray began to take an interest in music．A neighbour showed him how to play simple tunes on the piano, and he had a love for the music he heard, played and sung in the local church．In the blind school the schoolteachers encouraged him to study a variety of instruments．Then, one more blow came．His mother died suddenly, and Ray, who loved her deeply, was so shocked that for two weeks he was unable to eat．It was another neighbour who finally managed to persuade him that his mother would have wanted him to go on, and reminded him of how she had believed in him．When his father died a year later, Ray knew he was strong enough to keep going on his own．

　　Ray arrived in Seattle and went to a small hotel to sleep．When he woke up, he was hungry．It was two o'clock in the morning, and everywhere was closed．Ray managed to find a small club and knocked on the door．A man on the door said they had no food, but“we've got a talent night on here,”he added．Ray saw his chance and told the man he could play the piano and sing．The man tried to discourage him, but he was finally guided to the piano and sang a song．As he came off the stand, a man stopped him and said,“I'm from the Elks Club．I think you've got a weekend job．”That was Tuesday．By Friday he was working regularly, and after that he never looked back．It was the beginning of his climb to stardom．

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