2、There was a $1,000 reward, a toll-free ( 免费的 ) tip line and a news conference ― all for a lost little bike. The foot-high, 6-inch-wide strange-looking bike belongs to Bello Nock, the breathtaking clown star of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus appearing at Madison Square Garden.
The little
bike was taken from a Manhattan street Friday, while Bello clowned around. He
and two fellow clowns had put on an unprepared show for a passing camera crew (
摄制组 ), when Bello rested
his bike against a street sign and forgetfully walked away.
“Can I please have my bike back?” he said a day after the disappearance, adding that he was “very upset.”
The
orange-haired, Florida-born clown said he can’t replace his trademark bike, which was built in
Mexico City and has been in his family of circus performers for a dozen years.
Without it,
the 38-year-old performer once named “America’s Best Clown” by Time magazine will have to change the show named for him ―
“Bellobration.”
The bike,
which is about as high as his foot, “is not something I can go to buy in a store,” he said. “I’d have
to find someone willing and able to make it.”
Anyone with
information about the bike is urged ( 强烈要求 ) to call the toll-free number 1-877-606-3052.

A. to give a
$1,000 reward

free line
C. to hold a
news conference
D. to put up a

52. Where was
the little bike put before it was lost?
A. At the
entrance to a cinema.
B. Against a
street sign.
C. Under a
tree.
D. Beside a
shop.
53. As a
result of losing the little bike, Bello Nock will have to __________.
A. change the
show named “Bellobration”
B. give up the
whole show
