Practice Passage 1

Jump right into the task of finding facts. The following brief passage is similar to something you might see in

a  newspaper. Read  the  passage  carefully, and  then answer the questions that follow. Remember, careful

reading  is  active  reading  (see  the  Introduction), so mark up the text as you go. Underline key words and

ideas; circle and define any unfamiliar words or phrases; and record your reactions and questions in the margins.

On Friday, October 21, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Judith Reynolds, owner of The  Cupcake  Factory, arrived  at  her  establishment  to  find  that  it  had  been robbed and vandalized overnight. The front window of the shop at 128 Broad Street was broken, and chairs and tables were overturned throughout the café area. Additionally, the cash register had been pried open and emptied of money. The  thieves  attempted  to  open  the  safe  as  well, but  were  unsuccessful.   Ms. Reynolds used her cell phone to report the crime to the police. She also phoned the proprietor of Primo Pizza, located at 130 Broad Street, as she noticed that the door of that restaurant showed signs of forced entry.  The police department is asking anyone with information to call 555-2323.
