After the cashier had given it to him. he asked for a bottle of wine. The cashier said she couldntaskt give him I the wine because she didn’t t believe he was 18. So he nave her his ID. which proved he was actually 19.
2 When they were paying or some petrol, two bank robbers accidentally dropped a list of things they.
В You are going to read a story called Burglary in the family. Here are some extracts from the story. What do you think happens?
C Quickly read the story to find out if you were right.
I was usually the first to come home in the afternoon. One day, I came home to find the gate open, but didntaskt think much of it. I just thought my father had finished work early. Ittasks unusual, but it does happen occasionally.
But then I pushed the door and it just opened, thattasks when I knew that something was wrong, although I still didntaskt think we had been burgled. We had been living in the same neighborhood since I was born, and there had been no burglaries anywhere near us in all those years.
D Now read the story again and choose the best answer.
1 Why did the writer find it difficult to believe there had been a burglary?
a Their house had never been broken into before,
b There was no sign of a burglary,
c It had always been a quiet, safe area,
d The last burglary in the neighborhood was before she v/as born.
2 When she realized there had been a burglary, she
a watched a crime scribes on TV.
b made some phone calls,
c panicked and stayed where she was.
d checked to see if the burglars were still upstairs.
3 The family thought that the burglars
a had been looking for something.
b were only interested in cash and computers.
c were only interested in the writertasks things,
d had left fingerprints.
My parents were there within a few minutes. My mother ran upstairs to their bedroom to cheek, while my father stayed with me and waited for the police. Liven though the mess was terrible, it didntaskt look like anything was missing, which was strange, as some of the things we had in the living room were quite expensive, like the plasma IV set we had just bought the week before.
I he police asked us a lot of questions, dusted for fingerprints, but couldntaskt find any clues to how, when or why the burglars had broken into our house. I hey asked my father to sign a form and said Urey would investigate and tell us when (and if) they had arrested anyone!
My younger brother came home shortly after the police had left. Strangely, he didntaskt seem at all curious about the obvious mess that the house was in. "Whattasks up?” he asked, as if everything was normal. It was then that I became suspicious: there had been no burglary, this was all my brothertasks doing!
taskDo you have any idea where my laptop is?" I asked (I didntaskt want to accuse him of anything), hat did the trick. He immediately lost his cool, broke into tears and owned up to what he had done: he had accidentally dropped my laptop before going to school that morning and had broken the screen. Rather than face the consequences, he chose to get rid of the broken laptop, and stage a burglary!
My parents forgave him. As for me, Itaskm not sure Itaskve completely forgiven him yet!
4 The writer first suspected her brother when he a asked about the mess that the living Roombas in.
b came home late from school,
c appeared immediately after the police had left.
d didntaskt ask any questions about the mess.
5 Why did the writertasks brother stage the burglary?
a He wanted to steal the writertasks laptop,
b He was afraid to admit he had broken the laptop.
c He had taken the writertasks laptop to school.
