Q1. Read the passage carefully.
“Winning is not everything”

Will loved games. He played them every day. He liked

board games, video games, and sports games. He liked
word games, mind games, and card games. What he liked
best was winning them. To Will, winning was everything.
At school, Coach Sam picked teams. Will was on the blue
team. Today they would race around the track field.
Everyone lined up. Will took a deep breath.

Coach Sam blew the whistle and Will took off. He pumped his legs and arms and ran as fast
as he could. Will’s legs started to burn. His chest started to hurt. But he wouldn’t slow down.
He had to win.
Suddenly, Will couldn’t move his left foot. He stumbled and fell, and his face hit the dirt.
Many runners ran past him, but only one stopped. A hand reached down.
“Come on, let’s finish together”, said a voice.
Will looked up. It was a boy from his class. He was on the red team, but he helped Will stand
up anyway. Together they finished the race. “Why did you help me?” he asked the boy.
The boy said, “Winning is not everything. I would be a nice person than win one single race.”
Will had never thought about it. But now, for him, winning is not everything. Being nice
seemed a lot better to him now.
