Gail Mirabella works as a dog trainer for a circus (马戏团). She used to train her dogs to do tricks when she was a kid. Finally, her hobby turned into her job. Several days ago, she talked to Time Magazine reporter, Cameron Young, about her love for dogs.
Reporter: Did you always want to be a dog trainer in a circus
Mirabella: When I was a little kid, I did my first dog show, a kid's dog show. And I won the first prize. From then on, I knew I wanted to work with dogs, but who would know I'd be in a circus
Reporter: Have you got any dogs growing up
Mirabella: Of course. I got a white shepherd dog when I was a little baby. And then when he died, we got two family dogs. When I was 14, I got one on my birthday. He was a big shepherd dog and reminded (使想起) me of the shepherd dog I had when I was a baby.
Reporter: How long does it take to train a dog, one month, half a year or one year
Mirabella: That depends on (取决于) the dog. I have got thirteen dogs and I let them all play together, but I do a lot of special work with each dog. They know I am their owner because I do all the feeding.
Reporter: If you weren't a dog trainer, what would you be

Dear Anna,
How are you My name is Cindy. I’ve been looking forward to having a pen friend for a long time. I hope we can become good friends.
I got your name and email address from my English teacher, Ms Sands. These days I’m thinking about what to write. First, I wanted to tell you what it’s like to go to school here in Minnesota, but later I thought you could look up Minnesota on the Internet and read about it yourself. Then I had the idea to tell you about my family, but I realised (意识到) that the story of my little brother losing a tooth or the time we got a new cat might be kind of boring. After that, I thought about asking you questions about what it’s like to live in Belgium, but I’m afraid you might think my questions are silly.
I think I can tell you a little about myself. In fact, you probably already learned one thing about me. I sometimes have a hard time making up my mind (拿主意)! I hope you can write me back anyway.
Yours,
Cindy

In 2022, Cliff Jones began a journey around Britain on a unicycle, a bicycle with only one wheel (轮子). Before that, he made a film about his experiences travelling around Europe in an old car. He was crazy about cars and worked in a car factory. To save money, Cliff went to work in London on an old bicycle, which he also used to go to France on holiday. “That trip opened my eyes,” he says. “I decided to travel around Britain by bike.”

But I was never sorry about making my unicycle. Many people were interested in my unicycle.” His worst moment came when he had to drink some dirty water from a river. A serious fever kept him in bed in hospital for five long days. He didn't want to give up (放弃) the journey, but found it hard to carry on because he felt so weak.
