READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
(1) There was a man named Charlie. Charlie lived alone in a cabin in the woods.
The only thing he saw every day was his old dog, Pepper. Pepper and Charlie
would go for their daily walk and watch the birds, squirrels, and once in a while,
some deer darting through the woods.
(2) One day, Charlie was sitting on the front porch with Pepper when they heard
a noise. It sounded like a loud crunching noise. Pepper sat up and looked around
but didn’t see anything worth barking about. Charlie looked around too, but didn’t
see anything but some sparrows flying over the fence. “I wonder what that noise
was,” Charlie thought to himself. Both Charlie and Pepper sat back down. Charlie
continued drinking his iced tea and Pepper was being lazy, just sitting on the
porch.
(3) That night, when Pepper and Charlie finished their dinner, Charlie when out to
put the trash in the backyard. It was time for bed so Charlie checked the doors
and shut off all the lights. “Good night, Pepper,” Charlie said. Pepper barked, and
they both fell asleep.
(4) The next morning, Charlie and Pepper had breakfast and went to sit on the
front porch when suddenly they heard a crash! Charlie and Pepper ran to the back
of the house just in time to see a huge bear going through the trash can by the
tool shed. Pepper began barking and barking! “Get out of here! Go away!” shouted
Charlie, and he threw a piece of wood at the bear. The bear got scared and ran
away into the woods. “Now we know what that noise was yesterday,” Charlie
said to Pepper. Pepper just kept barking. “It’s okay,” said Charlie. “He’s gone.”
(5) Charlie decided he needed to move the trash cans. He was going to put a lock
on them. So, if any bears decided to visit, they would not be able to open them.
Thinking this, both went for a walk. When Charlie and Pepper got back from their
walk, Charlie moved the trash cans into the shed and locked them. That night, all
was calm and peaceful by the cabin in the woods.
