From "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
Read this paragraph and answer the questions with complete sentences.
Dudley's birthday-how could he have forgotten? Harry got slowly out of bed and
started looking for socks. He found a pair under his bed and, after pulling a
spider off one of them, pt them on. Harry was used to spiders, because the
cupboard under the stairs was full of them, and that was where he
slept.
When he was dressed he went down the hall into the kitchen. The
table was almost hidden beneath all Dudley's birthday presents. It looked as
though Dudley had gotten the new computer he wanted, not to mention the second
television and the racing bike. Exactly why Dudley wanted a racing bike was a
mystery to Harry, as Dudley was very fat and hated exercise--unless of course it
involved punching somebody. Dudley's favorite punching bag was Harry, but he
couldn't often catch him. Harry didn't look it, but he was very
fast.
Perhaps it had something to do with living in a dark cupboard, but
Harry had always been small and skinny for his age. He looked even smaller and
skinnier than he really was because all he had to wear were old clothes of
Dudley's, and Dudley was about four times bigger than he was. Harry had a thin
face, knobbly knees, black hair, and bright green eyes. He wore round glasses
held together with a lot of Scotch tape because of all the times Dudley had
punched him on the nose. The only thing Harry liked about his own appearance was
a very thin scar on his forehead that was shaped like a bolt of lightning. He
had had it as long as he could remember, and the first question he could ever
remember asking his Aunt Petunia was how he had gotten it.
