Read the
story.
An eight-year old boy
named Justin lived next door. He had brown hair, brown eyes, and a few freckles. He was fairly short
for his age. This summer, Justin was learning to ride his skateboard. He practiced every day until he
could balance and stay on his board without falling off. He then tried to jump off the curb and land
on his board without crashing. He tried and tried, but each time, he fell off. Finally, he picked up
his skateboard, threw it on the ground, and began
to cry. At the same time, the neighbor across
the street watching from her window saw him throw his skateboard and decided that Justin had a
terrible temper. “Because he’s so small, he just can’t skate very well,” she
said.
What wrong idea did Justin’s neighbor have?
a. | small boys should not ride
skateboards | c. | children should
not play outside in the road | b. | boys with brown hair and brown eyes should not ride
skateboards | d. | Justin has a bad
temper |

Our class
president is doing a terrible job. He hasn’t kept any of his promises. For instance, he

for him. He’s not doing a good job!

changes. | c. | No, he did get
cake and ice cream for lunch. | b. | Yes, he didn’t get cake and ice cream for
