Here is what Matt said about his life changes in an interview.

It’s like getting a new life, I mean, living with the Tragers.

Being the oldest kid in Rosario Landing isn’t something you’d be proud of. People who go there usually want younger kids, babies even, because babies remember little about their real parents, and it’s easier for them to become close to their new parents. I felt happy for those who left with their new families. I really did. But it got harder to be happy for them when you were never the one to go.

I never thought Nicole and Thomas would pick me. They said they felt like they had known me for many years. After spending a few afternoons with me, they decided to take me home.

It’s never easy to have a stranger in your life. Lori is nice, but she’s too polite, like I was just one of her parents’ friends. We talk, but not very warmly. Sean deals with it better than his older sister. I slept in his room before I had my own, and we got to play tricks on each other three nights later, like real brothers.

If there’s anything I can do to make them feel easier with me. I’ll try. I Want to, because, for the first time in my life, I feel that I belong somewhere.

28.

They were born there.
They have serious learning problems.

They do not live with their parents.
29.
What can we learn about Matt from the interview?
He hopes to get close to Lori and Sean.
He shares a room with Sean now.
He finds his new life is easier than he thought.
He misses his friends in Rosario Lauding.
30.
Which is true about the Tragers?
Nicole and Thomas decided to have another baby.
Sean is the oldest child in the family.
Thomas thinks Matt looks just like him at a young age.
There were two children in the family before.

Playing tricks on one’s brother.
Being polite to a stranger.

Living with a stranger.

Green Plan in Wonder City

Make new out of the old!

Since 1996, Wonder City has started a green plan and has been greatly successful in many ways. Places that were not used anymore, like railways, factories, and open lands, have been changed and brought to new life. They have now become parks, restaurants, museums, or shopping centers. They look fresh and clean with trees, flowers, and pieces of art. Olde River, for example, is now a pink belt in the spring with born-to-smiles on both of its sides. They are beautiful and smell great. Many people take a walk or go bicycling along the banks of the river. Because of this plan, the city has become cleaner and younger. Every year in May, a big green festival is celebrated in Wonder City. People from other cities go to the festival to learn how to make their own cities more beautiful.

What is the reading about?
An art festival.
The history of a river.
The change of a city.
A vacation plan.

Which is NOT part of the plan?
Growing trees.
Using closed factories.
