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: Have you got any dogs growing up

As the taxi starts to drive away, my father stands at the living room window looking out, watching me move off into the darkness, at 4:30 a. m. His grey hair is messy from sleeping. Moments ago, he got up to carry my bag for me and went into the cold open air.
He thanked me for a daughter's cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worried about he would feel lonely again in the empty house.
"I have my plans," he said, in the moments before I walked out the door.
When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt it was quiet and lifeless in the house. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But, now, they're gone, I am the last to leave.
As the taxi began to move, I watched the lights go off, but my father didn't leave. Even though he couldn't see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year for the new year.
The life is hard for my father: my mother died years ago, and now his children are far from home, our selfish choices taking us from one end of the country to the other. I watched him as he stands still like the tree. Are there tears in his eyes, as there are in mine
I can’t wave from the taxi, as I leave a parent to loneliness in the early morning darkness. I leave behind two trees: one with silver-grey hair, the other still freshly green. Both of them are tall and straight.

Clark and Dale were staying in the same room in hospital. Clark was so sick that he could not even move his body. He had to spend all his time lying on his back. Dale could sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room’s only window.
Over time, Clark and Dale became good friends. Every afternoon, Dale would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told Clark about the flowers in a park outside the window, the people walking by the green trees beside the roads—anything that might interest a man.
One morning, when a nurse came only to check the two men, she found that Dale had died in his sleep. As soon as the room seemed tidy again, Clark asked if he could move to the bed next to the window so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurse agreed. Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building.
The nurse explained that Dale had been blind. He had never seen anything outside the window at all-but he described beautiful scenes to help his friend feel better.

Smashed cucumber (拍黄瓜) salad is one of the most popular cold dishes in China. You can find the green dish anywhere from restaurants to homes. 17
According to the New York Times, smashed cucumber salad is “everywhere” in New York. Some restaurants have even added the dish to their menus. 18 But American cooks are trying yogurt, honey, lemon and other common Western ingredients.
Why is this dish becoming so popular 19 Smashed cucumbers can hold onto tastes more than cucumbers which are cut into fixed shape and size. “Just changing the way you break down an ingredient...changes the way it feels and tastes. It’s cool,” said Danny Bowien, a cook at a New York restaurant.
20 The cook smashes fresh cucumbers with the flat side of a knife. The strong smash makes the cucumbers different shapes and sizes. Then other ingredients can be added. Also, it takes only five minutes to make the salad. Cook Julia Coldberg said it’s really “satisfying”.
“The success of smashed cucumber salad abroad shows that we should try to fit into local conditions when spreading Chinese culture across the world,” said the Beijing News.
A．This summer, even Americans are trying it.
B．Most people like the special taste it produces.
C．The way the dish is prepared also draws people’s attention.
D．In China, people use garlic (蒜), vinegar (醋) and oil to make the cucumber tastier.
E．Americans have expressed their opinions on the taste of this salad.
