Running Away

Written by Laura Reynolds

Have you ever been in trouble at home? Have you ever thought about running away from home to escape? Maybe you packed your bag. Maybe you made it down the driveway. After a while, you probably forgot why you were angry and just went home.

Unfortunately, many kids don’t turn back so soon. Running away from home is a serious and scary problem. Lots of kids decide that running away is a good idea. Kids run away for lots of reasons.

It might be that their parents are getting a divorce, and they don't know how to deal with their feelings. It could be because they’re experiencing abuse at home.

Many kids decide that running away is the answer to these problems, but it never is. The reality of living on your own is not so pleasant. Runaways usually have nowhere to live. They have no money for food and no place to rest at night. Running away gives you more problems than you originally had and puts you in serious danger.

What should you do if you feel like running away? You should try to be proactive. You can try to improve your situation at home. You can think about positive changes that you can make. You can talk to a trusted adult, like a parent, a teacher, or a coach. They might be able to give you helpful advice. The point is that running away should never be a serious option. It increases your problems rather than reducing them.

(Adapted from Mobymax Reading Stories)

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as a gesture of goodwill. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands has a more practical purpose.

Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then, the two parties extended their right hands to show they had no weapons and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.

The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have, for centuries, clasped their own hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of some South Seas islands greet by rubbing noses.

The phrase "came on" in the second paragraph can be best replaced by _____.
  • waited for
  • visited
  • attacked
  • happened to meet

  • to show a good relationship with each other
  • to show that there were no weapons in hands

  • the two parties' weapons
  • the two parties' left hands
