INTRO: Four short paragraphs to read — Martha, Joe, some manners, and Beth. You'll answer questions about topic, main idea, and titles next.
INTRO: Four short paragraphs to read — Martha, Joe, some manners, and Beth. After each one you'll answer a question about its topic, main idea, or title.
CARD: **Paragraph 1.** Martha's husband gave her some money for her birthday. She couldn't decide how to use it. She went to the mall. She looked at furniture and other things for the house. Then she looked at yard tools. She also looked at new clothes. She couldn't decide. She put her money in the bank.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Joe's sick. He doesn't feel well. His head and throat hurt. He'd like to take some medicine. There are many medicines in the drugstore, but he's afraid that he'll take the wrong one. He thinks he should see a doctor, but he's afraid the visit will be expensive. While Joe is trying to decide between a doctor's visit and medicine, he is getting worse.
CARD: **Paragraph 3.** There are some rules for polite introductions. In the United States most people shake hands when they meet others for the first time. Women don't always shake hands with other women. When they are sitting, men usually stand up for introductions. Women don't have to stand, but most women do stand when they meet older people or people of higher rank. Remember these rules when you make introductions.
CARD: **Paragraph 4.** Beth wants a new coat and the department store at the mall is having a big winter coat sale. She knows that she can save a lot of money at the sale. The mall will be very crowded because a lot of people will want to save money, too. She knows she'll have to get to the mall early.

CARD: **Paragraph 1.** The word "coffee" may come from an Arabic word. Today people all over the world enjoy coffee. They drink hot coffee and cold coffee. They drink it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also drink it in between meals. There are many different kinds of coffee. They all smell and taste delicious. A lot of people meet friends at restaurants or snack bars to drink coffee and talk. In some countries there are small snack bars that serve only coffee and desserts.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Basketball is a sport that many boys and girls, and also men and women enjoy. It is not a very old game. Students in the state of Massachusetts played the first game in December 1891. John Naismith wrote the rules for the game. He wanted his students to have a fast, interesting game to play inside in the cold, winter months. The first teams had nine people. Then the number changed to five in the winter of 1897. The game today is almost the same as it was almost a hundred years ago.

He's very excited because yesterday he got a terrific present. My parents gave him a dog for his birthday. He likes all animals, but most of all he likes dogs. We had a dog when we lived in Florida. His name was Zero. He was a good, quiet, old dog. Zero didn't like to do anything but eat and sleep. When we moved here, we had to give him away. The new dog's name is Sam. He is a nice little, black and white dog. He likes to play and run around. Paul says he is going to teach him to do things. I hope he can.

$GRAMMAR Reading: Military Bases and Money — Paragraph 1
ID: l4-s33-r-p1
READING
INTRO: Read the two paragraphs. You'll identify the topic and main idea of each next.
INTRO: Two paragraphs to read, one at a time. You'll identify the topic and main idea of each one right after reading it.
CARD: **Paragraph 1.** Military bases are like small cities. The offices and buildings are similar to the offices and buildings in town. There are houses on base for both officers and enlisted people. There are also schools for the children of those people who live on the base. There are gyms where you can work out and places to play tennis, football, and baseball. The commissary is like a large grocery store. The BX usually has just about anything else that you need. Most bases also have hospitals to take care of anyone who is sick. There's also a gas station and a garage to repair your car. Last, most bases have buses and taxis to take you where you need to go if you don't have a car.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Almost all the people in the world use money to buy things they need. In other times, animals and cigarettes were used as money. In some places they used animals' teeth. Today, we use coins and paper bills for money. Coins are usually small and round. Most have words, numbers, and pictures of animals, buildings, or important men and women on them. The bills also have pictures. In the U.S., the color of money is green, but in other countries the bills are many different colors—red, green, blue, orange, and purple.
