Rich Dogs
When wealthy people pass away, they usually leave instructions f or what to do with the money or
property that they leave behind. Often, money and property go to their heirs. However, in some cases, the
rich pet
owners leave their wealth to their pets after they die.
For example, there is a poodle named Toby. When this poodle’s owner passed away, she left Toby 15
million pounds (about $25 million). Then there is Flossie, a yellow Lab mutt, who is not only rich, but is
also famous. In 2001, Flossie made the headlines after she rescued her owner, the actress Drew Barrymore

correct answer to each of the questions.
Sometimes the road to the future leads through the past. Such was the case for Americans Scott and
Brennan Olson, who used an old idea to launch a hot new trend in sports: inline roller skating.
In 1979, these siblings found a pair of antique roller skates while checking out bargains at a used
sporting-goods store. The skates they found had four wheels in a single row instead of the traditional
parallel pairs of wheels in front and back. This single row of wheels intrigued the Olsons. They were avid
hockey players, and they immediately noticed the similarity between the inline wheels and the long, single
blade found on the
bottom of ice skates. Could these unusual skates somehow be used to practice hockey off the ice?
The Olsons set about trying to modify the design of the antique skates that they had found. First they
tested out the antique skates to see how well they worked. From those tests, they tried to come up with
ways to improve the old design. One improvement involved using special materials to make the skates
stronger and easier to steer. The Olsons also added reliable brakes to their inline skates. In 1980, the Olsons
founded a company called Rollerblade to make and sell their “new” invention. Sales skyrocketed, and soon
millions of people worldwide were “rollerblading,” as inline skating was mistakenly called.
At first, inline skating was recreational. People enjoyed skating in parks and on streets, and some even
danced on skates at giant roller discos. Today, inline “group skates” are popular all over the world. In cities
such as San Francisco, Paris, and Berlin, as many as 20,000 skaters might meet on a free day and skate
together through the streets. Many people see inline skating as a great way to exercise and socialize.
By the mid-1990s, inline skating had become more than just a recreational sport. It had developed into
several competitive sports. One of the most popular, even today, is aggressive skating. This involves
performing tricks and jumping over objects such as boxes, ramps, and rails. Other kinds of competitive
skating include speed skating, artistic skating, downhill racing, and skating marathons.
So, what about hockey? Well, the Olsons achieved their goal. Inline hockey leagues sprang up almost
immediately. Then in 1999, inline hockey joined the lineup at the Pan-American Games. There are rumors
that inline skating may even become part of the Summer Olympics someday.
Question 43: What is the main idea of this reading?
