Question

【题目】

My name is Charlotte Dujardin. I'm an Olympic dressage champion (花式骑术冠军). What is my life like? You may wonder.

I'm one of those people who need their sleep. If I don't get enough, I can be pretty sleepy. I start riding by 7:30 am and I'm usually so tired from a day's training that my head is on the pillow by 9:30 pm. I'm like an old person. I've always been a deep sleeper; not even the thought of an Olympic final keeps me awake.

I work with a personal trainer who makes sure I follow a strict diet. The things I eat must provide enough energy for my daily training. For breakfast I have eggs and bread, a chicken wrap and salad for lunch, a healthy meal of meat and lots of vegetables for dinner, plus two snacks of nuts and fruit. On days off, like normal girls, I love ice-cream.

I often work seven days a week, riding from 7:30 am till 5 pm, then training at the gym. I also teach at the weekend but the days don't feel long because I love my job very much. I have a proper holiday once a year when I don't see a horse for 10 days: I need time to rest and relax.

My family is very supportive of what I do and always come to competitions. I miss my parents and other family members but balancing (平衡) my work with the relationship with them can be difficult as I'm away a lot.
