Then answer each question.  \nDinner Disaster  \n“Ugh, meatloaf again? I hate meatloaf!” Matt yelled. “I ’m not eating this .”  \nMatt’s mom and dad looked at each other. Matt’s  \noutbursts had been happening at least once a week all summer long.  \n“You know what, Matt? We’re going to let you take over dinnertime from now on. You can pick the meals and cook them, as long as they’re healthy,” Mom said.  \n“Good, we’re going to eat good food every night!” Matt answered.  \nThe next day, Dad sat down with Matt to make the meal plan so he could go grocery shopping. Matt had already been thinking about his favorite dinners. “We’re going to have chicken tonight, and spaghetti tomorrow, and macaroni and cheese the next day,” Matt started.  \n“Woah, hold on now,” Dad said. “What else are we going to have with the chicken? We need to have at least one vegetable with each meal, and usually we have another side to go with it.”  \n“Oh, yeah. Um, we can have corn with the chicken,” Matt said.  \n“Sophia does not like corn,” said Dad.  \n“Well, it’s my choice, so I ’m going to make corn,” Matt replied.  \n“OK, but she might complain at dinner tonight. Are you ready for that?”Dad asked.  \n“Yeah, whatever,” Matt answered.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nMatt and his dad spent the next hour figuring out the whole week’s meals and side dishes. It was a lot more work than Matt expected, and almost every time he picked something out, his dad would tell him that someone in the family wouldn’t like it . It was very frustrating .  \n“This is impossible!” Matt said, exasperated .  \n“Yes, it is hard. Your mother and I try very hard to  \nmake everyone happy, but everyone has different tastes, and sometimes, we just can’t please everyone.”  \n“Fine, we’ll have to just go with this plan t his week. Next week I ’ll try to make everyone happy,” replied Matt.  \nWhen his Dad was finished grocery shopping, it was time for Matt to make his first meal. His parents were both in the kitchen to hel p him, since he didn’t know how to cook yet. They looked up the recipes for chicken, rice, and broccoli with cheese. Wow, that’s a lot to do, Matt thought, ashe looked at the directions for everything. He was usually playing videogames or outside while his parents made dinner.  \nIt took almost an hour to make dinner. There were so many steps! Matt was tired and extra hungry when dinner was finished. He was also proud of himself - he made dinner! And he knew he would like it tonight!  \n“Ew, this rice tastes funny,” Sophia said. Matt took a bite . It did taste a little funny. But he’d worked so hard! He felt like he might cry.  \n“It’s O K, Matt, cooking is hard. It takes a long time to figure it out. Sophia, be nice and please take three ‘no-thank-you’ bites. Matt worked really hard on this dinner,” Mom said.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nThe next day, Matt didn’t want to cook dinner. “It’s hard,” he explained to Mom.  \n“It is hard, but your father and I do it anyway. How are we going to eat, otherwise?” said Mom.  \n“We should just go out to eat every night, then everyone can get what they want and no one has to cook or clean,” Matt answered.  \n“I guess we need to work budgeting into this, too,” Mom quietly sighed.“We spent about $190 on groceries this week. That was for 7 nights of dinner, so if we divide that, it comes out to about $27 each night. Does that make sense so far?”  \n“Yes,” replied Matt.  \n“Last time we went out to dinner,” began Mom, “we spent about $75. How does that compare to the groceries?”  \n“That’s a lot more than $27 .”  \n“It is, and that adds up. It would be really nice to go out every night, but that would mean you couldn’t play soccer, and Sophia couldn’t do gymnastics. We’d probably have to move to a smaller house and Dad and I would have to share a car. Do you think that’s worth it?” Mom asked.  \n“Oh, wow, I guess not. I ’ll get started with dinner,” said Matt.
