Plato was a great Greek philosopher. He was born in Athens in 428 BC. When he was a
child his father, Ariston, died, and his mother, Perictione, married Pyrilampes, who was a
friend of Pericles.
As a young man he became a student of Socrates, who was not only his teacher,
but also a good friend. But in 399 BC, the Athenians sent Socrates to prison, where he
killed himself. Because they were good friends, Plato was afraid for his own life and left
Athens. He then traveled to Italy, Sicily and Egypt.
In 387 BC Plato was back in Athens and had his own school, called the Academy.
There he taught philosophy, astronomy, biology and mathematics. Aristotle became the
most famous student of the Academy.
In 367 BC he made another trip to Sicily to teach the new ruler, Dionysius the
Younger.
But a few years later he returned to Athens and spent the rest of his life teaching at the
Academy and writing. He wrote more than thirty books and died when he was 80 in
Athens. He became famous all over the world and there are still philosophers who
continue his work and admire his ideas.

Read this story and decide if the statements that follow are true or false.
Jonathan Harker was a young lawyer working in London in 1800. His wife was a
beautiful intelligent woman named Mina. They lived very happily together until the day
that Jonathan got a letter from someone named Count Dracula, who lived in
Transylvania. Dracula wanted to buy a house and needed Jonathan’s help to find one. He
was paying a lot of money, so Jonathan traveled to Transylvania to meet him.
Count Dracula was a tall thin man who was always dressed in black. Jonathan
arrived at his castle late at night and Dracula welcomed him and invited him to stay in his
castle for a few days. Jonathan agreed, thinking of the money.
Every day he walked alone around the castle and in the gardens. Dracula never appeared
during the day. In the evenings, Jonathan always wrote to his wife, and had dinner in the
beautiful dining room of the castle. Later, Dracula would appear and they would have
long conversations about the house in London.
A week later, Jonathan told him that he wanted to go back to England. Dracula got
very angry. From that moment, Jonathan became Dracula's prisoner. He couldn’t write to
his wife any more, so Mina became more and more worried.
One day, as he was searching for a way out of the castle, Jonathan found Dracula's
dead body. But the same night Dracula appeared alive again, so Jonathan thought there
was something very weird about him. He was frightened. He then discovered that
Dracula was a vampire; he wasn't exactly dead, but he wasn't alive either. He needed to
drink people's blood to exist.
A month later, Dracula traveled to England. Many people died suddenly when
Dracula visited and more were dying every day. Dracula was secretly in love with Mina,
so he went to visit her. He told her that Jonathan was his prisoner. “Come with me,” he
said, “and you and Jonathan will live forever.”
39
But Mina wasn’t stupid. The next morning she went to the library and read about
Dracula and vampires. She also found out how she could kill him. And the same evening,
she killed Dracula and saved her husband’s life.
Mina and Jonathan lived happily ever after.
True or false?
1 Dracula had a lot of money. T/F
2 Dracula’s castle was in Transylvania. T/F
3 Dracula and Jonathan usually met in the morning. T/F
4 Jonathan didn’t want to stay at the castle for more than a week. T/F

Read the text and decide if the statements following the text are true or false.
Maria Callas was born in New York on the fourth of December 1923 but her parents
were Greek. Maria's mother decided to return to Greece with her two daughters, because
life in Greece was cheaper than in the United States and the family did not have very
much money at the time. However, her father stayed in the USA. Maria loved music and
her parents decided to give her piano and singing lessons. Maria’s father sent over
enough money to pay for Maria’s singing studies at one of the academies of music in
Athens. She studied music from morning to night. After many school performances, she
was given a part in the Royal Opera in Suppé’s Boccaccio. This was the start of her
career.
In 1942 a soprano at the opera became ill and Maria had to sing in her place. Her
performance was a huge success. Even so, Maria’s life in Athens was difficult. In
September 1945, Maria decided to return to her father in New York. Life in New York
was much better, but things were not easy for a new opera singer. The United States was
full of singers from Italy and competition was strong. So when Maria was asked to sing
La Gioconda in Verona, she went to Italy. She had to borrow money to pay for her
ticket. In Italy she met her future husband Meneghini, as well as her friend Tullio
Serafin. Her performance in Wagner’s Walküre and then in Bellini’s I Puritani received
worldwide publicity and she became a star. From then on she was asked to record a
number of records, which made her famous and popular not just in Italy, but all over the
world.
