It's the year 2123. With the help of the newly - invented (发明的) time machine, Joe (J), a middle school student in the United States, travels back to 1886 to interview Mark Twain (M).

M: Oh, oh! What a big surprise!
J: You are my favourite writer! May I ask you a few questions?
M: Sure.
J: So what encouraged (鼓励) you to become a writer?
M: Well, when I was young, I never thought I would become a writer.
J: Then, what was your dream job?
M: In fact, I just wanted to make a living at that time. I was a riverboat pilot (领航员) on the Mississippi. But in 1861, I moved west.
J: What did you do there?
M: I worked as a gold miner (淘金者). But sadly I didn't find anything close to gold.
J: So how did you become a writer?
M: I enjoy writing stories. Maybe I have a talent (才能) for that. I sent some of my stories to the Territorial Enterprise. It was a leading newspaper at that time. The boss was so satisfied (满意的) with them that he offered me a writing job.
J: And then you became famous as a writer?
M: Um...you could say so.
J: One last question, could I share this interview on the Internet?
M: Wait a minute. What is this “Internet” thing?
