It was the annual spear fishing championship. Fox did well that day. He caught a lot of fish and he tied them to a small buoy. There was a rope from the buoy to his belt. Near the end of the day, he looked down and saw a large fish on the sand below him. He dived down to get it. Suddenly something hit him. It knocked the spear gun from his hand and pushed him through the water. He looked round and saw that he was in the mouth of a shark. It was a great white shark, one of the largest and most dangerous sharks in the world. Quickly he pushed his fingers into the shark's eyes. The shark opened its mouth and Fox escaped, swimming as fast as possible to the surface. He thought he was safe, but when he looked down he saw the shark's huge mouth just below him again. So he kicked the shark's nose hard and it turned away. But then it attacked the fish on the buoy. It swallowed the buoy and the fish. It dived down and the rope on his belt pulled Fox under the water again. He thought that this was the end. He fought desperately, but the big shark pulled him down and down. Then suddenly the rope broke and Fox floated slowly to the surface. 'Shark! Shark!' he called. Other spear-fishers heard him and hurried to help him. They lifted him carefully into a boat and took him to the beach. The nearest hospital was 60 kilometres away and during the long journey one of the spear-fishers held Fox's insides in place. At the hospital he needed 462 stitches, but he survived. II. Reading: A. 1.B 2. A 3. C 4. D 5. A B. 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. T 5. T IV.
