Section Two In-reading
READING ONE
When Television Ate My Best Friend
I was eight years old when I lost my best friend. My very first very best friend. Lucy hardly
ever whined, even when we kids played cowboys and she had to be Dale Evans. Nor did she cry,
even when we played dodge ball and some big kid threw the ball so hard you could read Spalding
backward on her legs. Lucy was world class.
Much of our time together was spent in my backyard on the perfect swing set: high, wide,
built solid, and grounded for life. But one June day long ago, something went wrong. I was
swinging as high as I could, and still higher. The next time the swing started to come back down, I
didn’t . I just kept going up. And up.
Then I began to fall.
―Know what? Know what?‖ Lucy was yelling at me.
