i Test Scores
r. Jones teaches history. He is a very good

teacher. During this year, most his students got
at least a C on the tests and there were many
A s. On the last test, however, Mr. Jones got a big surprise.
He wrote down all of his,students' scores. Then he counted
the number of students that got between 91 and 100. There
were only two! Only two students got A s! He found out that
there were only a few B's and C's. Most of the students in his
class got a D or an F on the final test. Mr. Jones looked at the
test again. He thought that it was too hard. He decided to give
every student 10 more points. Then many of the students got
good grades on the test. What a nice teacher!

he most popular month for people to visit this city
is June. Many families have vacations during this
time. The weather is also very nice in June in this
part of the country.

The fewest people visit this city in November. November
is quite cool, so the'beach is not a popular place to go. The
ocean at this time of year can also be rough. The water is not
good for swimming or boating.
Usually in one year, about 600,000 people visit the city.
The stores and businesses in the city count on these visitors

The Price of Rice
he price of rice changes during the year.
It is useful for rice farmers to know how the

price changes, then they can sell their rice when
the price is high.
Last year, the price for rice was very low in November.
This was a bad time for farmers to sell their rice.
November, December, and January were all bad months.
The best month for farmers to sell rice last year was in
April. July and August were also good times to sell rice.
Between August and November, the price of rice went
down every month. During other parts of the year, the price
went up and down.
It was hard for farmers to guess how the price would
change from month to month.
