How to grill by Steven Raichlen 
Once you have your grill assembled, the next thing to decide is where to put it.  A grill puts out a lot of heat, so you should position it several feet away from the side of the house or any plants or shrubbery.  You'll have an easier time with a spot that is sheltered from the wind.  When positioning a grill on a wooden deck, remember that sparks and live embers can fall from a charcoal grill.

The Baffled Parent's Guide to Great Basketball Drills by Jim Garland 
Before each practice begins, make sure you check the court and remove any debris from the playing surface.  When your players arrive, check that they have the proper footwear and that they've removed any jewelry, which could injure the player wearing the jewelry or another player.  Always carry a list of emergency phone numbers for your players, and know where the nearest phone is located.  You should also have a first-aid kit, and you might want to take a first-aid course.

The Outsiders Excerpt
By S. E. Hinton
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman---he looks tough and I don't--- but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish they were more gray, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have.My hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs,squared off in back and long at the front and sides, but I am a greaser and most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a haircut.Besides, I look better with long hair.

Matilda Excerpt
By Roald Dahl
By the time she was three, Matilda had taught herself to read by studying newspapers and magazines that lay around the house. At the age of four, she could read fast and well and she naturally began hankering after books.

"Daddy," she said, "do you think you could buy me a book?" "A book,” he said. "Whatd' you want a flaming book for?" "To read, Daddy." "What's wrong with the telly, for heaven's sake? We've got a lovely telly with a twelve-inch screen and now you come asking for a book! You're getting spoiled, my girl!"

Sister Hood of the Traveling Pants Excerpt
By Ann Brashares
Once there were four girls who shared a pair of pants.The girls were all different sizes and shapes, and yet the pants fit each of them. You may think this is a suburban myth. But I know it's true, because I am one of them —one of the sisters of the Traveling Pants.We discovered their magic last summer, purely by accident. The four of us were splitting up for the first time in our lives. Carmen had gotten them from a secondhand place without even bothering to try them on. She was going to throw them away, but by chance,Tibby spotted them. First Tibby tried them; then me,Lena; then Bridget; then Carmen.By the time Carmen pulled them on, we knew something extraordinary was happening. If the same pants fit — and I mean really fit — the four of us, they aren't ordinary. They don't belong completely to the world of things you can see and touch. My sister, Effie,claims I don't believe in magic, and maybe I didn't then.But after the first summer of the Traveling Pants, I do.
What is the main idea?
a)
Four friends were connected through a special pair of pants.
b)
A pair of pants called the Traveling pants.
c)
Carmen finding a pair of pants from a second-hand shop.
d)
The girls believing in magic.

A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning Excerpt
By Lemony Snicket
If you are interested in stories with happy endings,you would be better off reading some other book.In this book, not only is there no happy ending,there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle. This is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three Baudelaire youngsters. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were intelligent children, and they were charming, and resourceful, and had pleasant facial features, but they were extremely unlucky, and most everything that happened to them was rife with misfortune, misery, and despair.I'm sorry to tell you this, but that is how the story goes.
What is the main idea?
a)
A description about the story to come.
b)
A declaration about the Baudelaire family.
c)
A warning about the story and it's sad content.
d)
A beginning for the end of the story.
