Actually, there is only a one in 11.5 million chance of
this happening. But if you like swimming in the sea,
you shouldn’t wear shiny jewellery. Sharks might think
you are a tasty fish. And if you cut your foot on a
rock or a shell in the sea, get out quickly. Sharks can
smell blood from a long way away. If you are really
unlucky and a shark approaches you, you should hit it
between the eyes repeatedly. Hopefully, it will
swim away.

JAPAN´S MOST FAMOUS DOG

Página 25
In front of the enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-size bronze statue of a
dog. Even though the statue is very small when compared to the huge neon signs flashing, it
isn't difficult to find. It has been used as a meeting point since 1934 and today you will find
hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive- just look for the crowds.

Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor
Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would
accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he
left for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for
him. Sadly, the professor died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.
Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong
and he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a
time, though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street
vendors. He became a familiar sight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him was put
outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.

2.People get together at the statue of Hachiko because:

c. People await there to meet with their friends.

3.Where did the professor work?

a. In a primary school. b. at a university. c. at a train station.

Select true or false

4.1 Hachiko waited every day at the station. True False

4.2 Nobody gave Hachiko any food. True False

Pompeii –

a town with a difference!

On your next trip to ltaly, why not visit the fantastic Roman town of Pompeii?
In the past, twenty thousand people lived in Pompeii in big houses with big
gardens. The Romans built roads in the town and there were many public
places like baths, amphitheatres, banks, and markets. There wasn’t any
electricity and people got up with the sun. For breakfast they had bread and
cheese. People started work very early and stopped at twelve o'clock for a
lunch of fish, bread, cake and fruit. In the afternoon people went to watch
the gladiators or to the public baths to wash and meet friends. In the
evening they often had dinner parties They were an important part of Roman
life. But life in Pompeii stopped in 79 AD when the volcano Vesuvius erupted.
Today you can see the town exactly as it was nearly two thousand years ago.
