She was supposed to be paying her debt to society, but as Naomi Campbell was walking to work for her community(社区)service she was the one being paid.

     Campbell,36, has never looked so happy -- and no wonder. Her five-day community service sentence in New York has served as the basis of a fashion shoot for W magazine, the monthly companion to Women's Wear Daily, which is regarded as the American rag trade bible.

W's editorial director, Patrick McCarthy, said the 20-page feature would run in the July issue.

"We're having great fun watching her every day," he said. "It's going to make a great story ...Naomi was very keen to do it, she thought it would be a lot of fun."

Campbell has used the short walk from her car to the doors of the Sanitation (卫生)Department's District 3 Garage as a catwalk, each day presenting a new suit carefully matched with must-have sunglasses and handbags.

Her agency, IMG, says Campbell's basic rate is about £25,000 ($A60,000) a day.

News that Campbell had used what was supposed to be a punishment -- she mopped floors and cleaned toilets -- as a promotional money-spinner has angered New Yorkers.

    New York lawyer Raoul Felder said that while there was nothing illegal about Campbell's deal, her behavior had "made a mockery of our system of justice and insulted (侮辱) every hard-working person in this city".

    Campbell was sentenced in January to five days' community service after admitting she'd been guilty to throwing a mobile phone at an assistant.

1. Naomi was punished because she __

A. hadn't paid her debt                 B. had made money illegally

    C. had tried to hit someone               D. had damaged her assistant's mobile.

2. What can we learn about W magazine from the article?

A. Its full name is Women's Wear Daily.

    B. It's very important to the garment industry.

    C. Its July issue has Naomi's picture on the cover.

    D. It's a 20-page monthly magazine.

3. Naomi was supposed to      in the District 3 Garage.

    A. do some cleaning                     B. work as a fashion model

    C. have her car repaired                D. sell fashion clothes

4. The New York lawyer must have thought that their system of justice    in Naomi's case.

A. worked effectively                  B. lost its power

    C. proved unfair                       D. changed its nature

5. The article mainly tells us that ____________.

    A. it's easy for Naomi to make money     B. Naomi received her punishment

    C. it's hard to punish a superstar         D. Naomi used punishment for profit
