Write your answers on the separate answersheet.
The Beginning
The wind stabbed through his heavy wool jacket as though he wasn’t even wearing one.
Andy struggled to wrap his scarf more securely around his neck and face. Gusts of thickly
flying snow hid the sun and madeit impossible to look at his watch, so he had no idea what
time it was. He wascertain of only one thing. Somewhere along the way back to his uncle’s
house he had taken a wrongturn and wasnowlost.
In the Colorado Rocky Mountains, a wrong turn could be fatal in a snowstorm. Here, the
ranchers and farmers strung a rope from the house to the barn to provide safe passageif they
had to go outside. Andy had heard about that, but he hadn’t been impressed; after all, he was
tough.
Heshookhis headin aneffort to clear his vision. Even though he kept rubbinghis eyes,
snow frosted his eyelashes so quickly that he could barely see. The thought that a simple
afternoon walk had turned intoa life- and-death struggle frightened him. He probably should
havelistened to his uncle when he reminded him to stay close to home.
A suddenslip sent him tumbling down steep incline. Exhausted, he struggled to his feet
and stumbled into a drift of snow already driven high by the wind. Panic drove him to
scramble through it, but he discovered that his feet were growing numb. Uncomfortably, he
suddenly recalled his last words to his mother as she put him onthe planeto visit his uncle for
the holidays. “I’ll be okay,” he had said, rolling his eyes while she cautioned him about the
weather. He was moreeager to get his first vacation away from homestarted than he was to
listen to her fussing over him.
Nowheregretted that he had not said something nice to her before he boarded theplane.
It looked as though he might not get the opportunity again, and that drove another dagger of
cold through his jacket, although he could scarcely feel it. Based on the stories he had heard,
numbnesswasa badsign. His body wasfreezing.
Hefell in the snow and lay there for what seemed like an hour, although he knew it
couldn’t have been more than a few minutes. He thought of his mother and how miserable she
would be if something happenedto him.Foronce, he felt truly guilty. After his father’s death,
she had worked very hard to take care of him, and he had never thought to show his
appreciation.
No moreof that, he thought. He would change. If he madeit through this, he would be a
completely different person. All he desired was another chance.
In the distance, from what seemed like miles away, he heard someonecalling his name.
“Here!”he called frantically. “Here!” For him, this wouldnotbe the endofthe story, but
the beginning.
22. Which ofthe following is an OPINIONin the story?
A Andyloses his wayin the storm.
B_ Andyfalls down steepincline.
C Andy hears someonecalling his name.
D Andy needs a vacation away from home
23 What happensto cause Andyto have clearer view ofhislife?
A Healmost dies in the snowstorm.
B Herealizes that he misses his mother.
C Hediscovers that he likes life on a ranch.
D Heandhis uncle have a long talk.
24 Whichof the following words BEST describes Andy's feelings about his motherat the
endof the story?
A Anger.
B Guilt.
C_ Happiness.
D_ Dislike.
25 Whatis thesetting forthis story?
A A park during a snowstorm.
B A city during a snowstorm.
C A quiet little town during a snowstorm.
D Open country during a snowstorm.
26 Whatis the BEST summary ofthis passage?
Beinglost in a snowstorm makes Andy want to becomea rancher.
Beinglost in a snowstorm makes Andy decide to be angry with his mother.
After being lost in a snowstorm, Andy thanks the men whorescued him.
After being lost in a snowstorm, Andy decidesto changehis tough attitude.
