B An Englishman who lived in the Alps as a goat for three days has won one of this year s Ig Nobel prizes(搞笑诺贝尔奖). Tom Thwaites had special prostheses (假肢) made so that he could walk like an animal. The so- called awards(奖), which are not quite as famous as the real Nobels, were handed out during their ceremony(仪式) at Harvard University each year. Among other studies, one examined rocks, and one studied how the world looks when you bend over and view it through your legs. Goat- man Tom Thwaites shares his biology prize with another man, Charles Foster, who also has spent time in the wild trying to experience life in an animal s eyes. Mr Thwaites said he tried to escape the stress of modern living. He spent a year researching the idea, and even asked an expert in prostheses to build him a set of goat legs. “Great, though a little funny,” Mr Thwaites said about the whole experience. He developed a strong relationship with one animal a “goat brother” , but also very nearly kicked off a big fight at one point. “I was just walking around, eating grass, and suddenly one or two of the goats started tossing their horns (摇晃它们的角) around. I think I was about to get in a fight,” he told BBC News. ()56. What s the main idea of this passage? A. An Englishman lived with animals for days to win a Nobel Prize. B.
