Read the following passage. Answer the following questions according to the information given in the passage.

Abby and Ally are my dear daughters. Last week, we had an outing and we were really tired later that day. After enjoying good food, we headed back. Abby pushed the button as we awaited the elevator and suddenly Ally let out a sigh of disappointment.

“Oh wait, we can’t use the elevator,” Ally said, pointing to a sign near the elevator. Too tired to challenge her, both Abby and I followed her without looking around the corner to another set of elevators. “Oh, my god,” Ally said, visibly upset. “we can’t use the elevators either!They’re also reserved for the firefighters.” Abby looked at me. I looked at Abby. We both looked at the sign and then we stared at Ally to see if she was serious. She was. .

“Ally, the sign doesn’t say the elevators are reserved for firefighters,” Abby explained. “It says not to use the elevators in case of fire!With that, Ally took a longer look at the sign and actually read it instead of skimming it this time.

What’s the lesson here? You have to spend time reading signs, maps or recipes instead of just assuming you know what they say, or you might go through life climbing many flights of stairs when you could be taking the elevator.

It also got me thinking about how often we do this with reading. I wonder how many people just assume they know what a book says instead of actually spending time reading it, thus making wrong assumptions. How often have I neglected a book simply because I think I “know” what it says when I really just need to slow down, open the book, and focus on the reading?

1.Why did Abby believe what Ally said about the first elevator? (No more than12 words)

_______________________________________________________

2.What did the sign really say? (No more than 9 words)

________________________________________________________

3.How did Ally read the sign at first? (No more than5 words)

4.How should we read a book according to the author? (No more than 8 words)
