Attacked by a Shark (I) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. I had just dived off my paddleboard to go spear fishing when the lights went out. I heard this loud noise like a garage door slamming and it was completely dark. Suddenly I saw these big white things. I thought they were pieces of fiberglass - that a boat had just hit me. When I touched them, I realized they were teeth. The shark had told of my head. When he clamped into me, it was an awful crunch. His teeth were like razors. I was hanging out of the side of his mouth and his front teeth were buried through my cheekbones and nose. But it didn’t hurt - not until later. He didn’t take me down; he took me out of the water, about a metre. I saw we were moving sandpapery feel. I went berserk. I started pounding on him. I don’t know if that was what made him let loose, but if he had finished the bite, I would have had no brain. The shark went underneath me and I saw a part of his head. It was wider than my shoulder. I swam back to my board, blood pouring out of my face. They flew me to a hospital. I caught my reflection in the helicopter window - I looked like mince. I ended up with thirty or forty stitches in the front and twenty - eight or thirty in the back. Now I’ve got one bad scar near my eye and another across my nose, but they’ve faded down and fit into the wrinkles. Answer these Questions: - 1. What does the writer compare the shark’s teeth with? 2. What made the shark let go of the writer’s head? 1 3. What would have happened if the shark had continued to bite? 4. What happened to the scars on the writer’s face?

The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.
