Revision for ESO students:
READING AND
COMPREHENSION
A. Read this text carefully:
It was
early morning on August 6th, 1945 in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Tens of
thousands of people were on their way to work, travelling on trams and buses
and walking through the crowded streets. Thousands more were already at work.
The war had finished in Europe in May, but it was not yet over in the Pacific.
However, Hiroshima was strangely quiet and untouched by war. American planes
had flown over the city many times in the past few months, but had not dropped
their bombs. The people of the city found it difficult to believe their luck.
Hiroshima was an industrial city with an important naval base and they could
not understand why the Americans had not bombed it like nearly every other city
in Japan. They were tense and afraid. Every day they expected the American
planes to come.
That
morning at 8.15 a man was sitting on the marble steps of a large bank in the
city's financial area. Perhaps he had sat down on the steps to wait for the
bank to open. Perhaps he was a bank worker waiting to start work. We will never
know. But we do know a man was sitting there because at the very moment an
atomic bomb, the most terrible and powerful weapon ever made, exploded over the
city. First there was a blinding flash of light, then a blast which destroyed
every building for kilometres around, then a fire-storm, and finally, silence.
Not one atom of the man sitting on the
steps remained after the explosion, but in Hiroshima today it is still possible
to see his shadow - the shape of a seated man burnt black onto the marble
stone.
Now decide if these statements
are TRUE or FALSE :
At 8.15 on August 6th, 1945...
(1) Many people were going to
work in Hiroshima. __________

undamaged by bombing. __________
