Reading Comprehension-1


Hoverboards

Hoverboards

Intro
What is your favorite way to get around? Do you drive or take public transportation? Or do you prefer to be outside, zipping from place to place on a hoverboard? Hoverboards are the hot new trend. They were first imagined in the 1980s movie, Back to the Future. Unlike the hoverboards in the movie, today’s hoverboards do not actually fly. However, they can move without any help from the rider. So if you are on a hoverboard, you don’t have to do any work… all you have to do is stand there and move your feet!

On the other hand, there are some risks to hoverboards. People can fall off them easily, causing injuries. They have even been known to explode when they get too hot! Recently, Amazon.com stopped selling hoverboards altogether. Maybe, in the future, they will improve the design. Who knows… we might even get a hoverboard that actually flies!

Andy and Jessica are talking about hoverboard:


Andy_H: Hey Jessica, I want to talk to you about the hotness of this new hoverboard trend.

Jessica:  Oh my gosh, I am obsessed with Back to the Future, and I can’t believe that hoverboards are actually becoming popular!
Andy_H:  See, I guess that’s where my opinion comes in, is, hoverboards aren’t really hoverboards. They’re mostly just tools for people to be lazier. In my opinion, of course.
Jessica:  Oh, they’re so cool, though! They’re so futuristic... I don’t know, I think it would be pretty neat to just hover around the city and go from place to place, feeling like you’re flying.
Andy_H:  True, but they’re made pretty cheaply, and now they can’t be put on a plane. And I think it’s promoting a whole idea of not exercising and being lazy.
Jessica:  Oh, I guess I see what you’re saying. It sounds like there are some safety concerns, some very valid safety concerns. I didn’t realize they were on the No Fly List, though.
Andy_H:  They are! Apparently, they’ll explode if you overheat them.
Jessica:  Oh my gosh, that’s so scary! Maybe I will reconsider my infatuation of hoverboards.
Andy_H:  Well, I’ll tell you what. A hoverboard is something you won’t see me on in the near future.
Jessica:  Oof. Maybe me either.


Which is correct? “I ran down quickly the street,” or, “I ran down the street quickly”?
