Pompeii

Read the text. Then, answer the questions.
Today is August 24, AD 79. We are in Pompeii, a small town in southern
Italy, during the time of the Roman Empire. The town lies just below Mount
Vesuvius, an ancient volcano. Farmers grow food on the slopes of the mountain.
People are busy in the town. Let's walk down the main stœet. First
we pass a taverna. A young man is drinking a glass of wine at the bar. Next we
smell fresh bread from the bakery. Two women are buying loaves and honey cakes.
In the road a crowd of children are playing a game with stones. Maximus Minimus
walks past — he lives behind the bakery. He invites us in. We follow him into
his open air courtyard. His wife, Agrippina, is here, writing a letter. The
workmen are painting pictures of the countryside on the walls. A dog is
sleeping in the corner.
Suddenly there is an explosion. The sky goes dark. The ground shakes
violently. There is lightning. Everybody thinks it is an earthquake, but they
are wrong. It is the volcano. After 800 years, Mount Vesuvius has woken up.
Fire and lava burst out of the top. Black clouds of hot ash fill the sky and
the wind takes them over Pompeii. Maximus grabs Agrippina's hand and they run
out of the house. The dog hides under a table. The children cry for their
parents. Men, women, children and animals run through the streets. Most of them
escape but two thousand die.
When it
is over, the sky stays dark. Piles of ash cover everything. It looks like snow.

What was the young man doing when the volcano erupted?

A Fishy Story
Read the
story and put the pictures in the order that they actually happened.

One
strange day, fish fell out of the sky. It happened like this. I had gone to the
shops to buy vegetables for supper and a bone for my dog. It wasn't raining
when I left but I had taken my umbrella anyway. I got to the shops and bought
the things I wanted. I was walking home when suddenly there was a loud bang and
the sky went very dark. I looked up to see black shapes falling towards me. In
an instant the shapes began to hit the ground. They hit me, too and knocked me
over. They were fish. I was amazed. I looked around. Other people had come out
into the street when they heard the noise. Nobody could explain it. That
evening our street was on television. An old bomb from the war had exploded in
the river that runs through the town. The bomb had lain at the bottom of the
river for fifty years. So that night we had fish for supper with our
vegetables.

of the sea. At first nothing can live on it - it is bare rock. Over time the
coral limestone by the wind, rain and sea. The limestone becomes dust and in

What Are You Allowed to Do?

ANALYSIS

parents aren't strict at all and like you to make your own decisions. However,
sometimes it can be harder to take responsibility and decide for yourself what
you should do.
5 - 9 Your life is not easy but it's not hard
either. Your parents have rules but they are probably fair and reasonable.
0-4 Your life is hard! Perhaps you like
having plenty of rules to follow. If you show your parents how responsible you
are, they may give you more freedom.

Once upon (1)        boring
Wednesday school rabbit. They they thought it was funny. But (5)            head
teacher told (7) whole school and everyone was very sad. Jed and Jen were sad, too.
"We'll have to put it back," said Jen. "But nobody must see
us."
So that evening, they
took (8) rabbit back. They carried (9) rabbit in (10) box. At school there was
(1 1) evening class going on, so (12) school building was open. They crept in.
They walked quickly down (13) main corridor. There were lots of doors into
classrooms and (14) library. They turned the corner.
Suddenly
they heard (15) noise behind them - footsteps coming towards the corner. They
ran into (16) classroom and hid. Jed put (17) box down. They waited. (18) footsteps
walked away.
"Come
on," whispered Jed. "Let's go."
"Oh no!" said
Jen, too loudly. "(19)  rabbit's gone."
They rushed back into (20)                                   corridor.
They were just in time to see
(21)rabbit
hop into (22) main school hall. They ran to (23)hall but stopped suddenly. (24)
hall was full of people speaking French. It was (25) French evening class.
Did anyone see Jed and
Jen? Did they get into big trouble? You write the end of the story.

Definitely an introvert. You are an inward-looking person. You prefer your own
company or one or two friends to big crowds. You prefer to spend your time in
non-social situations. You probably like indoor and outdoor activities, but you
don't like a crowd of people looking at you. 17-23 You like friends and you
like your own company. You are quite confident in social situations and not
afraid of them. You are not shy but you are not an extrovert either. 24-33 You
want to stand out from the crowd. You also need the crowd's approval. Socially
you seem very confident, but secretly you may be less confident about yourself.
You have lots of friends and always attract a lot of attention. You feel
a
failure if you find yourself at home on your own on a Saturday evening.
