If you have thoroughly read and studied the Karl May "Greenhorn" reading selection, you should be able to answer the questions in Teil I below without referring back to the text. Try to answer questions 1-7 based on your comprehension of what you have read, not what you can look up! If you find yourself constantly referring back to the text, that's a sign that you need to re-read it before completing the questions. - In Teil 2 you may need to do a little looking/searching. That's OK!
