     When we ask students what they want to be, they often talk about unusual jobs, things like teachers
and doctors. But if you think about it, many people don't plan to do their jobs. They just start doing
them by accident. We have talked to two people with unusual jobs.
     Emily is a dentist (牙醫(yī)) but she doesn't work with people. She works with horses. After university
she took care of animal's health for several years, but she noticed that there were few people who could
help horses' teeth. She decided to go to college and study again. Then she had to buy special tools, but
she is never out of work. She's always very busy taking care of horses' teeth. "I couldn't be a dentist for
people now," Emily said, "because I really enjoy working with horses."
     As soon as David could read, he read books about robots, but the robots he built today don't look
like the strange robot people in his books. He builds robots for industry. Early one morning he made up
his mind to study maths, science and computers so that he could break into the world of robot engineering. "Some of the maths is very difficult," says David, "but you must study maths to be an engineer." Fortunately he got top marks in all his math exams.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
