Grade 9

Reading Comprehension 1:

What's more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric! This activity is known as trampolining and it's sweeping the nation.

The idea of trampoline is ancient. Eskimos have been tossing each other in the air using walrus skin for thousands of years. Firemen began using a life net to catch people jumping from buildings in 1887. And in the early 1900s, circus performers began bouncing off of netting to amuse audiences. These weren't the same as today's trampolines, but they show that the idea has been bouncing around for a long time.

What is the main idea of the passage?

• Trampoline is dangerous and should be avoided.

• Trampoline is an ancient game.

• Trampoline was famous in 19th century.

• Trampoline today is different than before, but it has been liked and enjoyed by people since long ago.
