“Helicopters”
Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the passage. Then answer
questions about the passage below.
Helicopters are very different from airplanes. They
can do three things that airplanes cannot do. First,
when airplanes move upward, they must also move
forward, but helicopters can move straight up without
moving ahead. Second, helicopters can fly backward,
which airplanes cannot do. Third, helicopters can use
their rotors to hover in the air (stay in one place)
which is impossible for planes.
Because helicopters can perform actions that
airplanes cannot, they are used for different tasks.
Since helicopters can take off without moving
forward, they do not need a runway for takeoff. They
are used in congested areas where there is no room
for airplanes or in isolated areas which do not have
airports. Because they can hover, they are used on
firefighting missions to drop water on fires. They are
used in logging operations to lift trees out of forests.
Helicopters are used as air ambulances to airlift
patients out of situations which are difficult to reach
by conventional ambulances. The police use
helicopters to follow suspects on the ground or to
search for cars on the ground. Of course, helicopters
have military uses because of their design and
capabilities.

THE FAIR
Finish the Story
Directions: Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing.
Today is the opening day of the state fair. I am going with my dad. We go together every year. I
always have fun at the fair. We wait until the evening, when it is cooler outside. Then, we get in the car and drive to
the fairgrounds. We have to park far away because it is very crowded. We walk for a long time. Then, we
finally arrive at the fair! We are both very hungry. We look for someone selling food. Then, we find someone selling
hamburgers. I eat a hamburger and my dad eats a slice of pizza. I want an ice cream cone, too. But, my dad
tells me to wait until later. Next, we go to the petting zoo. I pet a sheep and a goat. I ride a pony around a ring. It is
scary at first, but I have a lot of fun.
Now it is time to ride the carnival rides. Which one should I ride first!
