1. Kelly and the boy were neighbors as
well as schoolmates. They used to be close
friends, but
Kelly turned her back on
the boy while they were in middle school.
2.
Kelly

divorce would damage her image and that

only one she could turn to. So
Kelly
kissed the boy.
3. Kelly wanted to

a lot of friends, both old and new. He
became popular at school and he was

Answer the following questions.
1.
That
day
the
author
’
s
father
gave
him
50
cents
to
get
a
haircut.
In
order
to
save
money,
he
decided to go to Prof. Amoroso, the
barber academy downtown, where a haircut cost only
15 cents.
He hitched a ride on the back
of an ice wagon. When he hopped off the ice cart
in front of the
barber academy, he was
run over by a huge old-fashioned trolley car and
lost his left leg.
2. With the
artificial leg, he did not walk around like
everyone else. Even after weeks of stumbling,
aching, cursing and weeping, he still
was not able to walk around like other ordinary
people. He
swayed and dragged like
those who had a wooden leg.
3.
A
teenager
wants
more
than
anything
else
in
life
to
look,
act,
and
be
treated
like
all
other
teenagers.
4. Because the street corner was a
totally different world to him. There he was a
totally different
guy. As long as he
stayed in one place, the girls he stared at and
whistled at treated him like any
other
street-corner-wise guy.
5. Because she
wanted the boy to pick up so that they could have
a chance to get to know each
other.
Besides, she also had an artificial leg and she
wanted to hide that from the boy.
