Diego Zeman – the human cannonballIt’s a cold Saturday afternoon and I’m at Cottle and Austin’s Circus to meet Diego Zeman, their human cannonball. When I (0) _______ inside the Big Top, I (1) _________ Diego immediately. His act is about to start and he (2) ________ on top of the cannon. He then (3) ________ inside it, and suddenly he shoots out, flies through the air and lands safely in the net. The whole act only (4) __________ a couple of minutes, but I’m sure that Diego (5) ________ nerves of steel – it’s frightening stuff When we talk later on, Diego tells me that he (6) ___________ nervous at first, but then he feels free for the moments he (7) ________ through the air – the whole two seconds Diego (8) ___________ from a circus family, so he grew up amongst performers. His job may be glamorous, but it’s hard work and Diego (9) __________ a lot of money. He (10) ___________ with the circus and travels with them, and he (11) ___________ a couple of hours in the gym every day to control his weight and strengthen his legs and back. But he does it because he (12) ____________ the work. 0goesam goinggo1seeB) seesC) am seeing2is standinghas standingstands3climbsclimbis climbing4is lastis lastinglasts5gothas gotis got6feels alwaysis feeling alwaysalways feels7is flyis flyingis flies8comesis comingis come9isn’t earningdon’t earndoesn’t earn10is livingliveslive11spendsis spendingdoes spend12is lovingis loveloves
