Mark felt his way across the unlighted room. "Ouch!" he grumbled, as
his bare toe hit the cold metal leg of an unforgiving kitchen chair. Why was it
always more difficult finding your way back to bed than heading to the
kitchen for that beckoning chicken leg. In the last week, Mark had cut his
finger on a carelessly placed knife while he was using the edge of the counter
as a guide, and then he bruised his knee when he missed the top step of the
stairs. "I wish I had some magic, see-in-the-dark glasses, " he chocked, still
chewing on that last morsel of chicken. "I'd be a millionaire. Everybody who
has ever heard a chocolate chip cookie whisper alluringly or a pickle cackle,
'come here' should buy my stalker glasses. I would OOOW!" Mark stopped
dead as the back of the couch punched him in the stomach.
Questions:
1. What injuries did Mark suffer? 2. If you could invent anything in the
world, what would it be? 3. What did Mark say when he hit his
toe? 4. If you were Mark, what might you do
to eliminate all injuries?
Popcorn
Have you ever wondered why popcorn pops? Popcorn has more moisture inside each kernel than regular corn. As the kernel is heated, the water inside turns into steam. Pressure begins to build inside until the hard coat on the outside of the kernel explodes, turning inside-out. If you are careful about how you prepare it, popcorn turns out to be a very healthy snack-higher in protein than ice cream or potato chips, without the fat and sugar. Air popping is the best way to prepare popcorn because it doesn’t require any oil; this keeps the popcorn low in calories. To add a little zest to your snack, forget the butter or caramel flavors. Instead try melting a few tablespoons of peanut butter and stirring that into your popped corn. Or you can add sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds.
1. What is the best way to prepare popcorn?
2. What are some ways you can make popcorn taste better?
3. Why do you think the author wrote this article about popcorn?
4. What is your favorite snack? Is it healthy?
