Selective Reading Test

(Practicing past continuous with simple past from of the verb)
Working together, the students act out the sentence they receive. Not only must
the students understand what they are given, but they must also be creative to
show their understanding. This could be very authentic giving them situations that
occur every day. Also, it provides a practical activity as some students may not be
exposed to some of the language, such as a student getting a sentence "I was
frosting a cake for the party, when I accidentally knocked it on the floor." If a
student has never frosted a cake, then they will learn what the action looks like. It is
a great way for students to work together to negotiate meaning for the best way to
act out their sentence.
1. I was climbing a 200-year old oak tree in the middle of the forest when one of

the branches broke and I fell 50 feet to the ground.

2. Two lovers were watching a cheap television when it suddenly exploded and

showered them with glass.

3. I was driving my mother-in-law's car when a policeman stopped me because

he thought that I was speeding.

4. A blind man was withdrawing money from his bank's cash dispenser when

three masked gunmen attacked him and stole his wallet.

5. I was walking down the road when a mad dog bit me.

Battles in New York
After the British Pyrrhic (costly) victory at Bunker Hill in 1775, British General
William Howe decided a lethal blow needed to be delivered to the Patriot cause.
Howe proposed to launch an attack on New York City using tens thousands of
troops. He began mobilizing the massive fleet in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Meanwhile,
American Commander in Chief George Washington had ordered General Charles Lee
to prepare for the defense of the city. That June, Howe and 9,000 troops set sail for
New York.
Howes army was to be met in the city by additional regiments of German
and British troops. Reinforcements from Halifax led by Howes brother would follow
them. Howes initial fleet arrived in New York Harbor and began landing troops on
Staten Island. On April 27, 1776, British forces engaged the Americans at the Battle
of Brooklyn Heights (also called the Battle of Long Island).
Howes army
successfully outflanked Washingtons, eventually causing the Patriots, after some
resistance, to withdraw to Manhattan under the cover of darkness, thereby avoiding
a potentially costly siege at the hands of the British.
7

After failed peace negotiations, the British Army next struck at Lower
Manhattan, where 12,000 British troops quickly overtook the city. Most of the
Continental Army had retreated to defensible positions at Harlem Heights and then
to White Plains, well north of the city, but some soldiers remained at Fort
Washington in Manhattan. Howes army chased Washington and the Continental
Army into positions north of White Plains before returning to Manhattan. In
Manhattan, Howe set his sights on Fort Washington, the last Patriot stronghold in
Manhattan. In the furious, three-pronged attacked, British forces easily took the fort,
capturing nearly 3,000 American prisoners and at least 34 cannons in the process.
Most of the prisoners were taken to squalid British prison ships where all but 800 or
so died of disease or starvation. General Washington, now at Fort Lee, directly
across the Hudson River from Fort Washington, witnessed the events that
happened. Following the fall of Fort Washington, British forces ferried up the Hudson
River in barges toward Fort Lee. Washington ordered the evacuation of the forts
2,000 soldiers across the Hackensack River at New Bridge Landing. Washington
would lead his army clear across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.
Following the events in and around New York City, the outlook was bleak for
the Continental Army. Morale in the army was extremely low, enlistments were
ending, and desertions were commonplace. Even General Washington admitted his
armys chances of success were slim. Meanwhile, General Howe ordered his army
into their winter quarters that December and established several outposts from New
York City south to New Brunswick, New Jersey.
1. Where was Howes massive fleet mobilized for the attack on New York?
A. Boston

B. Canada C. New York D. New Jersey

2. Which of the following would NOT participate in Howes attack on New York?
A. German soldiers
General Charles Lee

B. Soldiers led by Howes brother C. British soldiers D.

3. What happened at the Battle of Brooklyn Heights?

A.The Americans withdrew

D. A costly siege

4. Why were Patriot forces at Harlem Heights?

B. Washingtons headquarters were located there.

D. They were about to surrender
5. Which of the following was NOT true about Fort Washington?

The Whistle
An Excerpt
By Benjamin Franklin
When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my
pocket with coppers. I went directly to a shop where they sold toys for children; and
being charmed with the sound of a whistle, that I met by the way in the hands of
another boy, I voluntarily offered and gave all my money for one. I then came home,
and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing
all the family. My brothers, and sisters, and cousins, understanding the bargain I had
made, told me I had given four times as much for it as it was worth; put me in mind
what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money; and laughed at
me so much for my folly, that I cried with vexation; and the reflection gave me more
chagrin than the whistle gave me pleasure.
This, however, was afterwards of use to me, the impression continuing on my
mind; so that often, when I was tempted to buy some unnecessary thing, I said to
myself, Dont give too much for the whistle; and I saved my money.
As I grew up, came into the world, and observed the actions of men, I thought
I met with many, very many, who gave too much for the whistle.
When I saw one too ambitious of court favor, sacrificing his time in
attendance on levees, his repose, his liberty, his virtue, and perhaps his friends, to
attain it, I have said to myself, this man gives too much for his whistle.
When I saw another fond of popularity, constantly employing himself in
political bustles, neglecting his own affairs, and ruining them by that neglect, "He
pays, indeed," said I, "too much for his whistle."
If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the
pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow-citizens, and the joys
of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth, "Poor man," said I,
"you pay too much for your whistle."
When I met with a man of pleasure, sacrificing every laudable improvement
of the mind, or of his fortune, to mere corporeal sensations, and ruining his health in

their pursuit, "Mistaken man," said I, "you are providing pain for yourself, instead of
pleasure; you give too much for your whistle."
If I see one fond of appearance, or fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture,
fine equipages, all above his fortune, for which he contracts debts, and ends his
career in a prison, "Alas!" say I, "he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle."
When I see a beautiful sweet-tempered girl married to an ill-natured brute of
a husband, "What a pity," say I, "that she should pay so much for a whistle!"
In short, I conceive that great part of the miseries of mankind are brought
upon them by the false estimates they have made of the value of things, and by
their giving too much for their whistles.
Yet I ought to have charity for these unhappy people, when I consider that, with
all this wisdom of which I am boasting, there are certain things in the world so
tempting, for example, the apples of King John, which happily are not to be bought;
for if they were put to sale by auction, I might very easily be led to ruin myself in
the purchase, and find that I had once more given too much for the whistle.
