I. Read the following text about a circus, then answer the questions below.

The Rodriguez Brothers Circus is in town! Every year, the circus arrives and
stays for a week. Then they go to the next town.

There are not many animals in the circus. People told the circus

that they didn't like seeing animals performing. There is an elephant called
Jacob and two old lions, Hattie and Meg. Most of the performers in this circus are human.

There is Leopold, “The Strongest Man in The World”. His father also worked in the circus, but Leopold
is stronger than him, he has bigger arms and bigger legs too! Leopold performs his act every night for
the town's people who come to watch.

Another performer is Clara. She says she has the longest hair in the world. It's about 4 meters long! She
also has a daughter who works in the circus. Her name is Sue-Ellen. Her hair is a lot shorter, but she
wants to grow it as long as her mother's. Sue-Ellen helps look after the animals and she's also learning
how to juggle.

The highlight of the circus are the three clowns, Pit, Pot and Pat. They all wear
long red shoes, but Pat's shoes are the longest and sometimes, he falls over
because they're so long! They perform for about twenty minutes and they are
always the most popular act with the audience, especially the children. Many
people think Pit, Pot and Pat are three brothers, but Pat is older than the other
two - he's their father! He's the oldest clown in the country, but he has a lot of energy.

Tomorrow will be the longest day because the circus is leaving town, and everything must be packed
away into big trucks.

Performing in the circus must be something spectacular, the performers must be very skilled and must
practice every day. Some of the acts seem to be kind of dangerous and I guess not everybody can do
them, but with a bit of luck maybe you can do them someday.
