Comprehension

I. “Who is Who?” Match the characters to their names.

Johnny Utah a. Utah’s girlfriend Angelo Pappas b. FBI agent’s partner Bodhi c. A head of robbers’ gang Tyler d. FBI agent
II. True/ False statements: Johnny Utah was from Ohio People in bank robbery are allowed to drink and smoke and not to keep fit. The bank robbery searched for robbers with the help of crime-scene and lab work and importantly data-based analysis. Harp found Utah young and clever. Angelo Pappas had been in the field for 19 years. Pappas was glad to be saddled with a partner from Quantico. The robbers had the masks of clowns upon their faces. 60 seconds were enough for robbers to commit the crime. The robbers never get greedy so they strictly stick only to the cash drawer. The robbers left their car so that it looked parked from a distance. Pappas got happy that Utah and he were to deal with a drop car. The Ex-Presidents were sailors. The Ex-Presidents robbed banks since May to October. Angelo Pappas compared surfers to school of fish. To keep balance is enough to learn to surf. Tyler’s parents deceased in airplane crash in 1984. Tyler advised to Johnny to go in for football or volleyball. Utah wanted Tyler to teach him to surf since he liked her. Being in school team, Utah stopped playing football because of his broken ankle. Pappas said to Johnny that shooting at the raid had difference with paper targets. Johnny Utah missed as he was scared. Utah didn’t tell Tyler what he was since it was not planned. Johnny has jumped with parachute before. Bodhi and some more people knew where Tyler was. Bodhi couldn’t call Rosie to let Tyler go as it was his principle. A man who started shooting at the robbers was a guard. The rights for FBI agent are to remain silent or say anything that will be against the law and no lawyer. While flying Johnny dropped his gun since he didn’t want to shoot at Bodhi. Utah let Bodhi go because wanted to be promoted.
III.“Who said the following?” Match the phrases with the characters’ names: Angelo Pappas (A), Johnny Utah (J), and Bodhi (B). “Last time you had a feeling, I had to kill a guy, and I hate that. It looks bad on my report.” “Rock’n’roll” “It’s a state of mind” “We show them that the human spirit is still alive” “Life is short” “You got to earn trust” “You are just as sharp as a razor” “Fear causes hesitation and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true” “Why be a servant to the law when you can be its master?” “There is one thing that I learned …Respect for my elders” “This game we both lose” “Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn’t it?”
