3: Reading. Read the story about Andrea's vacation below and then answer the questions
that follow. (12 points)

I'm so excited for summer vacation! My family

and I always fly to California every June to visit my grandmother. My dad
makes the reservation online with the airline, and he also checks the weather
forecast to see what kind of clothes we should bring. My mom sometimes
helps me pack my suitcase with clothes, a hairbrush, toothbrush, and
swimming suit for the trip. I also pack a carry-on with my wallet, a jacket,
and a book to read during the flight. This year I will also bring my school
picture to give as a present to my grandmother.
 I don't like going through the airport before our flight; the terminal
is so crowded and the line at the check-in counter can be so long. Then after
we check our luggage we have to stand in line again to go through security! I
really don't like to empty my pockets, take off my shoes, and put everything
in a tray to be checked. However, after that things aren't so bad. We ride
the escalator to go to our gate, and sit in the departure lounge until our flight
is ready for boarding. Usually my mom will give my brother and I some
money to buy ice cream at one of the terminal restaurants while we are
waiting. We never fight about who gets the window seat because my mom
makes us take turns; I get to sit there going to California, and my brother
gets it when we go home.

My grandmother will come to the airport to meet us, and go with us

to get our luggage from the baggage claim. I'm glad we don't have to go
through customs because I'm always happy to leave the airport as soon as
possible! We will spend the next two weeks playing at the beach, shopping,
and visiting attractions. I love our summer vacation!
