Making the Grade
Greg Collins planned to study the night before the big social studies test, but things just seemed to get in the way. First, he needed to take his dog Bones out for a walk. Then, he messaged his friends on his computer. Soon, it was time for dinner. After that, he watched his favorite television show. Before he knew it, it was time for bed.
"Lights out," said his mother, peeking in on him.
"Okay, Mom," he groaned. No more studying for him!
When he arrived at school the next day, he dragged his feet into Mr. Robertson's social studies class. The big test would be first thing in the morning, and he just knew he was going to fail. Groaning, he opened the door and discovered his classmates in a tizzy.
"We've got a sub," one boy whispered, pointing to the elderly woman, with big glasses, standing grumpily behind Mr. Robertson's desk. "Subs never pay attention. Now we can all copy off each other's papers during the big test."
Greg smiled for a moment as his friends composed hasty cheat sheets and wrote notes on their desks. As soon as the bell rang, the substitute introduced herself. As she explained how the test would be administered and monitored, she walked around the room with a wet cloth, wiping off hastily-written notes from desktops. She held out her hand for other students to deposit their "cheat sheets," all the while explaining her vast teaching experience. She handed out the tests, then perched herself in the chair at her desk. With a sniff, she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and announced, "You may begin."
Greg's smile disappeared. He knew that, however low a grade he received, it would be the grade he earned and more importantly, the grade he deserved. He felt a slight sense of relief come over him, and he quickly started his test.
From Greg's thoughts and actions, the reader can infer that he

The Race
by A. Gautam
Suri was nowhere close to finishing the race. First, her shoelace came off. Then, her calves started feeling stiff. The farther she tried to get, the slower she moved. Suri looked up at the sky. When she saw the dark clouds, she felt even worried. But, I want to win, she thought. Today just isn't my lucky day.
As her heart began to give up hope, Suri saw lightning in the sky. The white flash reminded her of her grandmother."You must act without thinking about the result," her grandmother had once said.
"I must run because I want to," Suri told herself. "I shouldn't run because I have to win." Just like the flash of lightning, Suri felt a sudden rush of strength. She smiled and decided to run.
