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 | | | | |
