（I = Interviewer　M = Dr. Millhouse）
I：Thank you for taking the time to talk to us today，Dr. Millhouse.
M：You’re welcome.
I：You’ve been doing some research into how the human body reacts in extreme conditions. Could you tell us what you’ve found out
M：Yes，of course. First of all，we looked at human resilience in hot and cold extreme climates. We trained the experiment’s participants to do special breathing exercises and then they did them in extremely low temperatures in our lab.
I：And what happened
M：After they’d been doing the breathing exercises for about twenty minutes，we noticed something very interesting—their bodies started to warm up on their own!
I：Wow，that’s amazing!
M：Yes，it was. When the participants started to feel tired，they stopped doing the exercises properly. Then their body temperature started to fall again.
I：OK，so what you’re saying is that people are able to control how hot or cold their bodies are
M：Yes，that’s right. We saw similar effects to those we see in the bodies of athletes involved in doping. But we need to do some more research to find out how this all works exactly.
I：Thank you very much，Dr. Millhouse. It’s been very interesting to talk to you today.

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.
—Mahatma Gandhi
It means there are other things more important than money. For example, your body is important and not the pieces of metal. I totally agree with this pared with gold and silver, our health matters more to us. Without health, we have nothing. So we should maintain a healthy lifestyle.
