You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity. You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you. Since there is gravity, water runs down the hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down.

Kyle MacDonald， a 26-year-old Canadian，got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades that started with a single red paper clip.Encouraged by Kyles successful experience, now more and more people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they dont have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery.Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone involved in trading activities gets things that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, “Whats more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert-one million dollars or a glass of water?” Kyles words probably show why these trades are popular among young people.36.What did Kyle MacDonald get after 14 trades?A.
