SHE HAS NEVER LEARNT TO DRIVE

When Josie Dew was young, she felt out of a car, so she has never learnt to drive.

She was still at primary school when she
decided she wanted to travel. So when she was
eleven, she decided to go for long bike rides,
and cycled 40 or 50 miles every day.
Josie says: The only good thing about
secondary school was cycling there and back. I
left when I was 16. I love cooking, so I started
a business. I cooked three-course meals, and
delivered them by bike! In 1985, as soon as I
had some money, I cycled to Africa and back.
Josie has been to 40 countries and has had all
kinds of interesting experiences. She has
cycled through the Himalayan Mountains in
Nepal, then down to India. She has cycled
through millions of locusts in the Moroccan
desert. She has travelled through tornados in
the USA. She was in Romania on Christmas
Day in 1989 when President Ceausescu was
executed by the Government. And she hasnt
been to Egypt yet, because when she was in
Turkey, a war started nearby. So she went to
Greece instead.
She has sometimes travelled with friends,
boyfriends and even her mother, but she has
often cycled alone. She had only one really
frightening experience a man attacked her in
Bulgaria.
In 1997 she hurt her knee very badly, so she
started writing books about her journeys. Shes
written five books, and now shes on her bike
again! At the moment shes planning to cycle
around New Zealand.

H. FIRED FROM HIS JOB
I. TODD CHRISTIAN, the Human Cannonball, has lost his job, because he is scared
of flying. But it isnt the giant cannon that scares him, its aeroplanes! He is quite happy
to fly 30 meters above the circus at 80 kph, but he wont get on a plane.
J. When Todd, 26, injured his leg during a performance, the circus said he
should go to Brazil for a special training course. But Todd refused to go. He said, I
know it sounds crazy, because Im a human cannonball, but I dont like long flights. If
Im on a plane for a long time, I start to panic.
K. So the circus told him he had to leave his job. Todd said he was very upset. He
is now discussing the situation with his lawyer. He thinks he doesnt have to do the
course.
L. Meanwhile, Brazilian Diego Zeman, the Human Rocket, has arrived at the
circus to take Todds job. Senhoe Zeman has already done the special training course. I
feel sorry for Todd, but this is my dream job and Im very happy, said the Human
Rocket.
M. Marnie Dock, who became the worlds first female human cannonball at the
age of 16, is now the circuss cannon trainer. She thought that Todd should do the

said.
