READING SKILL 1 & 2 - FURTHER PRACTICE
Practice 1:
Mistaken shootings are much more serious, and sadder. Mistaken
shootings happen because toy gun makers make their guns look like real
guns. Sometimes, a child may find their parents’ real gun but think it is a toy
gun. Every year, there are sad stories of children who kill their brother, sister,
or a friend this way. Studies have shown that most children under eight
cannot tell the difference between a toy gun and a real one. Another danger is
that when children play with a toy gun outside, other people may think it is a
real gun. Look at the case of Michael Jones. Michael was riding his bicycle
one day, carrying a toy gun that looked real. He was shot by the police 17
times because they thought the gun was real.
The word it in the passage refers to ________
A. parents
B. toy gun
C. real gun
D. child
Practice 2:
Many of the artists whom we consider to be great did not actually
achieve fame or success in their lifetimes. Instead, their work only came to
be seen as great art after their lifetimes. There are countless examples of
such people throughout history. The poetry and painting of William Blake,
for example, went largely unnoticed during his lifetime. He never achieved
any real success, and died in poverty. Similarly, the talent of Emily
Dickinson, one of America's greatest poets, was largely unknown until after
her death because she chose not to publish any of her poems. Perhaps the
best example of an artist who was not fully appreciated until after his
lifetime, however, is the great painter Vincent Van Gogh.
1. The word consider in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. believe
B. like
C. enjoy
D. praise
2. The phrase their lifetimes in the passage refers to the lifetimes of
A. artists
B. us
C. examples
D. work
Practice 3: A BATTLE IN THE WILD
Hyenas are the natural enemies of lions. Hyenas and lions must compete for
food. Considering that they are bigger and stronger, you might think that a
lion would easily beat a hyena, but it is not that simple. Male lions live alone,
but hyenas are pack animals. They hunt and fight in teams and therefore
have the advantage of numbers. Hyenas are also very clever. They often wait
for a lion to kill an animal, and then steal the animal from the lion. While the
lion is fighting some of the hyenas, the others steal the food.
1. Which of the following best explains the term pack animals?
(A) The natural enemies of lions
(B) Animals that are fast and clever
(C) Animals that live in groups
(D) Animals that steal food from other animals
2. The word They in the passage refers to_____
(A) Lions
(B) Hyenas
(C) Animals
(D) Enemies
3. The word clever in the passage is closest in meaning to____
(A) evil
(B) smart
(C) criminal
(D) strong
Practice 4: THE FATHER OF MODERN MEDICINE
Hippocrates, a physician in Greece around 430 B.C., was the father of
modern medicine. There were physicians before Hippocrates, but his ideas
about medicine and the body were very different from the other doctors of
his time. At the time, it was believed that diseases were caused by angry gods
or spirits. Hippocrates, however, believed that there were natural causes for
every disease. He was also the first doctor to study the human body in detail.
From his studies, he identified many diseases, and he was the first doctor to
claim that our thoughts come from our brains. Before that, people believed
that our thoughts and feelings came from our hearts.
Hippocrates's greatest accomplishment was the Hippocrates Oath.
Hippocrates understood that doctors held great power over their patients. He
worried that some doctors would not use this power properly. So, he
developed a promise. It said that doctors would only work to help their
patients, never to hurt them. He made all of his students take his oath. Even
today, all new doctors take the Hippocratic Oath.

4. In paragraph 2, why did Hippocrates create the Hippocratic Oath?
(A) He wanted to help his patients.

improperly.
