2 . One Dollar a Night in New York

When it comes to finding a place to stay for a night in New York, things don’t always come cheap. However, artist Miao Jiaxin, a Shanghai native who moved to New York in 2006, is offering people the chance to stay in his apartment in Brooklyn.     1    

Guests can easily book Miao’s room on the Internet. Nevertheless, although they will be housed in his apartment, it appears to have more in common with a jail cell than a regular bedroom as a cage in the center of the room is where guests will stay.

    2     Guests must stay in the cage for three hours each morning. “From 9 a. m. to 12p. m., you can’t access the Internet, and there are no electronic devices, books, radio, pens or craftwork. You can’t talk to anybody. You can’t do Yoga or any other exercises. And you can’t even sleep,” writes Miao.“    3    ”

Meanwhile, the cage is monitored and recorded by two cameras and the activity of guest s is filmed for the whole time they stay in the cell.

    4     They can enjoy great views of New York on the roof deck outside the room.

The room is inspired by the alienation (疏离感) Miao felt as a new immigrant —feelings he believes are universal. “It’s not for fun. It’s for an experience.     5    ” said Miao.

A．It’s too expensive for common people to afford.

B．It’s only one dollar a night.

C．Actually, Miao’s room is so popular that you have to book three months in advance.

D．Miao says that to live in his jail cell, people don’t have to be a criminal, but there are several rules.

E．More like a psychological New York City experience.

F．If you break any of those rules above, you will be fined 100 dollars.

G．Despite the strict rules, guests are given a key to let themselves in and out as they please.
