7．For professional athletes，it's all about training，speed，strength，and endurance．It's no different for the homing pigeon （傳信鴿）-the flying athletes，but they're not going for the gold with every race．They just want to go home．
When you walk into Mike Beavers'pigeon loft （鴿棚） you'll hear the happy coo （咕咕叫） from his flock of homing pigeons．Beavers raises and races these birds near Kingsley，Iowa，USA．
"Most people don't believe me，"says Beavers．"They ask，‘How do you do that？'Then once you start explaining it，it really kind of catches their interest and they say，‘Wow，that's pretty awesome．'"
His love for the birds took off when he was a kid and he's spent the past 30years building his team of racing pigeons．It's a family hobby．"I got out of it for a few years and after I got married，my daughter came along and it was something that she and I could do together because I don't shop，"says Beavers．
Beavers has about 150birds，but these aren't ordinary pigeons．They're born to race，conditioned to travel long distances，and they have the instinct （本能） to always return home no matter where they are．
"They come back because this is home，"says Beavers．"This is where they were born and raised and it's just their instinct to go home．Nobody even really knows the reason．It's one of nature's secrets and nobody has found it yet．"
These pigeons are kind of like a flying GPS．That's what makes them so special．If you take a wild pigeon you find under a bridge and take it out 100miles away，it is just going to find the closest bridge and that's going to be its new home．It is the instinct that is bred into these birds over centuries and centuries．

6．Hearing Voices
Would you like to be an actor，but aren't the right age or physical type for the part？Don't give up：there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting．
Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom．In addition to many appearances on television and in movies，Rickey is a voice-over actor，someone we hear but don't see．Rickey has acted since he was 6，both on and off camera．After school，his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud．
Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting．They are the voices of cartoon characters on television，in movies and video games，and for communicating toys．In films，they replace the foreign language conversation with English version．They create crowd noises，make commercials，act in radio plays，and record telephone instructions and public announcements．They read books on tape and even record museum tours．
Like other actors，voice-over actors need to understand scripts，interpret characters，and breathe correctly．They have to master voice techniques，such as pacing，volume，and range．Sometimes they use their normal voices； other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises．Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode（集）．He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part．
Rickey practices，then tapes at the recording studio．He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth，acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones．"The cartoon gets created after we record the words，so we have to imagine everything in our mind，"days Rickey．Later，the recorded words，music，and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV．Sound interesting？Maybe you can have a"voice"in acting after all!

4．When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation（基金會），nobody understood what she was talking about．But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends．We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say．
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980．"It's a charity（慈善機構(gòu)） that helps children who have got very serious illnesses．Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，"Sophia explained．
We asked Sophia how Make-A-wish had first started．She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman．Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true-so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a"policeman"for a day．"When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，"explained Sophia．
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time．A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world．Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true．They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can．
