Louis Walsh has just announced that One Direction is going to split
soon. The X Factor judge shocked fans when he said he thought the
band only had one more album to produce. ‘I think there’s one more
album and that’s it,’ the Irish music manager said. He said their success
is thanks to Simon Cowell. “They’ve had an amazing career. One
Direction happened Direction happened because of Simon,“ he said.

He continued: ‘Simon made it all happen. Nobody gives him the credit
for what he does, but he and Sony made it happen. He put them
together – with my help, and with Nicole Scherzinger because I wanted
to do a boy band.

He also said he doesn’t think any of the four members


– Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall
Horan are good enough for a solo career. “They’ve had
an amazing career together. I don’t know who’s going to
be a solo star, maybe only Harry, because he has got the
ambition.”

In August, Liam said: “We need a little break. I’m not


going lie to people but we have been on the road for
five years so I don’t think people can be angry at us for
that reason”. He added: “I noticed that the last time I said this on the radio everything went
bananas like “oh, 1D is taking a break. Yeah, we’re probably going to take a little break but I
think that we just need some respect.”

Japan’s most famous dog


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.

B. Choose the best answer and circle.

1. Hachiko’s statue is small in comparison to:

a. Life sized dogs. b. Huge billboard signs. c. Huge neon signs.

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

a. They like to visit the bronze statue and pray for the dog’s soul.
b. It serves as a meeting point for lovers.
c. People await there to meet with their friends.

Slow-Fried French Fries


There are certain foods that are better when they are not made at home, like French
fries. To achieve golden-brown perfection, you have to fry them twice: first at a low
temperature, to poach them; then at a high heat, to crisp them up. Very tasty, very much
a pain in the neck.

A few years back, I read about how French chef Joel Robuchon supposedly does it at his
house: He puts sliced potatoes in a pot of cold oil, turns on the heat, and lets them go. It
sounds too simple to work. But as the temperature rises, the potatoes cook from the outer
layer in until the fries are wonderfully crunchy outside and creamy in the center. You’ll never
make fries any other way-even if you’ve never made them before.

B. Put an X in the right answer.

1. The Word chef (in line 5) means 2. In the text fry (in line 2) means

A person in charge of a hotel To cook in a pan over heat with use of fat

A person who cooks To cut something into pieces

A person who waits on people A person who waits on people

3. The word twice (in line 3) means 4. In the text poach (in line 3) means

One time To cook in salty liquid

Two times To cook in a boiling liquid

Three times To fry

5. French fries are better when they’re 6. The French chef J.R. has his
cooked
Own recipe
At home
Doesn’t know how to make French fries
In a restaurant
Doesn’t cook French fries at all

Soft To have a problem with one’s neck

Crunchy To please someone

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES – MORE THAN JUST A PAINTING


When most people look at a painting of a sunset, they see a beautiful work of art. When Professor Christos
Zerefos looks at a painting of a sunset, he sees valuable scientific evidence. He believes that these paintings
contain important information about the effect of volcanoes on the climate.
Scientists know that after a volcanic eruption, sunsets are very red. This is caused by the dust and ash that
are sent into the sky. Volcanoes also lower the temperature of the Earth.
Professor Zerefos and his team decided to study paintings of sunsets before and after volcanic eruptions. Red
sunsets are a sign of polluted skies, so the scientists believed that landscapes that were painted after major
volcanic eruptions would have bright red sunsets. They wanted to use the paintings to measure how the
volcanoes had affected the climate in the past.
More than 500 watercolors and oils of sunsets that were painted between the years 1500 and 1900 have been
studied by a team of experts. Professor Zerefos had the results analysed by a computer. The computer
calculated the amount of red in each picture. They found that the sunsets that were painted after a volcanic
eruption were bright red.
Many scientists are not convinced by this theory. According to them, it is impossible to make scientific
conclusions based on art that was painted so long ago, because it is possible that the colors have changed
since they were originally painted. What is more, artists often try to make something look very impressive
when they paint. As a result, they may not always paint an accurate picture of nature.
Professor Zerefos disagrees. He is certain that artists accurately copy the actual colors of the sunsets they
see. Paintings that were painted in the 20th century are now being studied by Professor Zerefos and his team.
So the next time you look at a painting of a beautiful sunset, examine the colors more carefully.

B. Answer the questions. Write complete sentences.

1. Why did Professor Zerefos study paintings of sunset?


___________________________________________________________________________________

2. Why are sunsets very red after a volcanic eruption?


___________________________________________________________________________________

C. Complete the first part of the sentences with the correct passive form of the verb in
parenthesis. Then complete the second part of the sentences according to the
information found in the text.

1. The Earth’s temperature _________________ (lower) by ___________________________.

2. In the past, bright red sunsets _________________ (paint) __________________________.

3. More than 500 paintings of sunsets ____________________ (examine)

4. In the study, a computer ________________ (use) to ______________________.
