READING COMPREHENSION ACTIVITY

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 thehuge 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 theirfriends to arrive.

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 thestart. 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 waitingfor 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 familiarsight to commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him

was put outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died atthe place he last saw his friend alive.

Intelligence pills

Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and childrenmay one day take drugs to improve their intelligence and

intellectual performance. A research group has suggested that

such drugs might become as common as coffee or tea withinthe next couple of decades.

To counter this, students taking exams might have to takedrugs tests like athletes. There are already drugs that areknown to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is

given to children with problems concentrating. A drug given

to people with trouble sleeping also helps people remembernumbers.

These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people

already take vitamins to help them remember things better, so

it will not be a simple problem to solve. It will probably be

very difficult to decide at what point a food supplementbecomes an unfair drug in an examination.

Robot Birds

Liverpool city council wants to clear the city of fat pigeons.

They say that that people are feeding the birds, which makes

them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet

would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food

they are eating in the city centre.

The council wants people to know that everyone who feeds

the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded

with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move

away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.

Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to

scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the

pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as 'robops'

- will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved

around to different locations. They look like a peregrine

falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make

noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope

that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the

European Capital of Culture in two years.
