Passage Reference: TECHNOLOGY: How to become a home-movie mogul ... 56

Common Mistake: Some students choose page 57 because it is also about media, but that article is about television, not making films. This is a context shift trap.

Passage Reference: LIVING: For summer fun, people are getting stuck on Velcro balls ...61 Sports sandals are the hip soles for hip souls ... 61
