Project 2: How have I changed?

1) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions

Shrink Fright

My name is Tom and this morning, I woke up feeling surprised because I had
shrunk a lot while I slept! I was so short that I couldn't reach anything comfortably
anymore. When I tried to put on my clothes, they didn't fit properly. My shirt was too
ls, friends, and even my teacher were amazed and curious about why I suddenly
shrank so much. I think it might be because I've always avoided foods that help you
grow, like beans, carrots, and corn. Being short is a bit inconvenient, because I
realized that I need to start growing up before I become too small for everything!
So, I came up with a plan. Today, I'm going to eat only tall foodong, and my pants
were too loose. Even my gloves and shoes were too big. Everyone around me was
shocked to see how short I had become overnight. My parents like asparagus and
spaghetti to see if it helps me start growing up again. I hope my plan works
because I don't want to get too short or start growing up uncontrollably!
