Reading Comprehension Practice Worksheet

Read the passage

Read the story, then answer the questions that follow.

At a weekend netball tournament, Mele’s team had won its first match and lost its second. While the players waited for their final game, Hana noticed that the team’s drink bottles were nearly empty. She asked Tevita, their helper, where they could refill them. He pointed to a tap beside the courts. Mele and Hana carried the bottles over while Tevita stayed with the team’s bags. They filled each bottle and brought them back. Then Mele spotted a younger player sitting alone on the steps, looking worried. The player had misplaced her team bib. The three teammates helped her search around the court. Hana found the bib beneath a bench. The younger player smiled with relief and hurried back to her team. When the final match began, Mele’s team played with energy. They did not win, but they congratulated their opponents and thanked one another for helping out. On the way home, Hana said that looking after people had made the tournament a good day, whatever the score.
