Question 3: (True or False) Comprehension 1: Use the information in the passage to answer the questions below.

From Questions (1) to (20), shade in the answer sheet the letter Ⓣ if the statement is True

or Ⓕ if the statement is False, for every question.

Crash What's it like to be Crash Coogan? You might think you know him already – the big jock, star

of the football team. Huge shoulders, smallish brain. Basically mows down everything in his

path, including kids like Penn Webb, the dweeby, puny, button-wearing vegetable-eater

who moved onto Crash's block when they were little---and has been a prime target ever

since.

But there's more to Crash than the touchdown-scoring kid every seventh grader

sees. And it's not the predictable sob story that's supposed to make you feel sorry for the

poor bully. It's the story of a kid with overworked parents, an ecology-minded smart-aleck

little sister, a crush on an activist cheerleader, and a best buddy named Mike Deluca, who

helps Crash pull off hilarious pranks at Webb's expense.

Until one day Mike goes too far, maybe even for Crash, and the football hero has to choose

which side he's really on.

1) Crash is the big jock, star of the football team. T F

2) In the second line the word mows mean “to cut or to cause to fall”.

T F

3) Penn Webb is the prime target of Crash. T F

4) Crash is in the 9th grade. T F

5) Mike Deluca is Crash’s enemy. T F

6) Mike Deluca, who helps Crash pull off hilarious pranks at Webb's

expense.

Question 3: (True or False) Comprehension: 2

Imagine that you are standing in a library with a book in each hand. You read the

book cover of each book. You look at the writing of the inside flaps, then you put

one book back on the shelf and confidently tuck the other under your arm as you

walk towards the check out desk.

How did you decide which book to take and which to leave on the shelf? When

you read the book jackets, you used a method called previewing. Previewing is

an activity that helps you gather information about a book. After previewing a

book you can predict what the book is about and whether you want to read it or

not. Writers and editors create book jackets to let readers preview the books.

From Questions below shade in the letter Ⓣ if the statement is True or Ⓕ if the statement is False,

for every question.

1) When you are in the library you read the book cover of each book.

T F

2) When you read the book jackets, you used a method called previewing.

T F

3) Previewing doesn’t help you in gaining information about a book T F

4) Predict means to think of what is going to happen next. T F

5) Previewing helps you decide if you want to read the book or not. T F

6) Prank means chief.

T F

7) Amusing or funny means hilarious. T F

Question 3: (True or False) Comprehension: 3 My real name is John. John Coogan. But everybody calls me Crash, even my

parents. It started way back when I got my first football helmet for Christmas. I don’t really

remember this happening but they say that when my uncle Herm’s family came over to see

our presents, as they were coming through the door I got down into a four point stance,

growled, Hut! Hut! Hut! And charged ahead with my brand new helmet. Seems I knocked

my cousin Bridget clear back out the door way and onto her butt into a foot of snow they say

she bawled bloody murder and refused to come into the house. So uncle Herm finally had to

drag his whole family away before they even had a chance to take their coats off.

Like I said personally I don’t remember the whole thing but looking back at what I do

remember about myself I have to say the story is probably true as far as I can tell I have

always been crashing into people, into things, you name it with or without a helmet.

From Questions below shade in the letter Ⓣ if the statement is True or Ⓕ if the statement is False,

for every question.

1) It started way back when Crash got his third football helmet for Christmas. T F

2) My real name is Crash. But everybody calls me John Coogan. T F

3) As uncle Herm’s family was coming through the door I got down into a four point stance.

T F

4) So uncle Herm finally had to drag his whole family away before they even had a chance to take their coats off.

T F

5) John Coogan has never crashed into people, into things, you name it with or without a helmet

Today was my first day at summer camp! I had a lot of fun. I had to wake up very early. My dad dropped me off at the park and I met my counselor. Her name was Jamie. There were nine other people in my group. The first thing that we did was go on a nature hike. The hike was long. We walked through the entire park. I saw two squirrels and a rabbit. I was afraid that I was going to see a snake. It was hot and I got a lot of bug bites. After the hike, we had arts and crafts. I made a bookmark to take home with me. I colored it blue and used a lot of glitter. After arts and crafts, we played my favorite game!
