I. Read the story. Then answer the questions.

The Fastest Boy

When Kyle's family moved to a new town, Kyle had to leave all of his old friends
behind. "You will make new friends," his mother told him. But Kyle wasn't so sure. In
school, he was very shy, so even though some kids talked to him, Kyle didn't say much
back.
In the afternoons after school, he didn't have anyone to play with. So Kyle started
running around the neighborhood. Every day he ran for an hour. Day after day, week after
week, Kyle ran. The kids in the neighborhood noticed him. So did Coach Benny. They all
said he was the fastest boy they had ever seen.
One Saturday, Coach Benny knocked on Kyle's door. "Why don't you come with me
to soccer club practice today, Kyle?" he said. "Everyone wants you on their team. I will
introduce you to everyone." "I thought I was running away from a problem," Kyle told his
parents later, "but I actually ran towards the answer!"
