Now try QAR on your own! Read
the passage below.
Susie has lived in Charlotte, North Carolina her entire life.
Next week, Susie and her family would be moving 200
miles away to Wilmington, NC. Susie hated the idea of
having to move. She would be leaving behind her best
friend, Lisa, the cheerleading team she had cheered on for
the last two years, and the big oak tree in her backyard
where she liked to sit and think. If the move wasn’t bad
already, Susie found out that she would be moving on her
birthday! Susie would be turning fourteen this year. She
wanted to spend the day with her friends, not watching her
house being packed up and put on a truck. Susie thought
that moving was a horrible way to spend her birthday. What
about a party? What about spending the day with her
friends? What about what she wanted? But that was just the
problem. No one ever asked Susie what she wanted.
