Researchers have found five ancient ships on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Italy. One of the ships is more than 2,000 years old and the others are about 1,600 years old. The ships carried vases filled with wine, olive oil, fish sauce and other products for trade. Kitchen tools, bowls and glass objects were also on board. The wrecks are a real treasure, because all their cargo is in perfect condition. “It is like an underwater museum” said Annalisa Zarattini, who is an expert in underwater archeology in Italy. The ships were probably trying to find shelter from a storm close to Rome and Naples, but then sank. The ships still look good after thousands of years because they sank in a deep part of the sea, Zarattini said. Here, the ships were protected from strong underwater currents so they weren't damaged. 16.

Dogs can do useful work for humans (guard dogs and guide dogs are just two examples), and it is difficult to think of any other animal that can show a person such loyalty and affection. In the words of the nineteenth-century American writer Josh Billings, “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” The close relationship between humans and dogs began many thousands of years ago, probably when wolves, the wild ancestors of today’s domestic dogs, started entering human settlements in search of food. Nowadays, tens of millions of people around the world have pet dogs. In Britain, for example, the human population of around 60 million has 7.5 million dogs, which is slightly more than the total number of cats. There are dozens of breeds of dog, of different colours and sizes, as well as a huge number of mongrels that are a mixture of different breeds. In both Britain and the United States, the most popular breed is the Labrador, which has a very friendly, playful nature and usually gets on very well with children. |
