轻松英语阅读：杰克的毕业舞会

Jake Davidson is a typical 17-year old American high school student , preparing for his graduation . And in America, that means getting ready for the senior prom .

But while Jake had a suit, a tie, and a car, the one thing he didn’t have was a date . So after some of the girls he knew　 turned him down , Jake decided he’d invite the most beautiful girl he could imagine – world famous 20-year old model Kate Upton.

Of course you can’t just walk up to one of the most glamorous women in the world and ask them for a date – at least not if you want to get the right answer. In this day and age there is another way- YouTube.

Jake and his friends made a funny 2-minute video inviting Kate to go out with him . Jake expected to get a few laughs , and then it would be over . Instead, over two million people watched his video, including, you guessed it Kate Upton. And Kate was so flattered by the attention that she went on TV and said she’d really go out with Jake … if she could fit it into her schedule .

In the end , Kate couldn’t make the date , and Jake had to ask a girl closer to home . But the moral of this story is : in the era of the Internet, almost anything you imagine is possible , if you can just get two million people to follow you .
