Reading
F. Read the story and, for each question, choose A, B, C or D.

It was a cold, windy night as I snuggled down under my warm blanket in bed. I had just switched off the
TV, brushed my teeth and was reading my favourite book, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I love
reading, especially at night just before I go to sleep. I was at the part in the book when Cathys ghost
appears.
As I turned the page of my book, I was sure I heard a strange noise at the window. Slowly, I got out of bed,
put on my slippers and dressing gown and walked towards the window. The wind was howling outside and
the branches of the trees were waving wildly back and forth. Suddenly, I heard the noise again. It sounded
like someone was knocking at the window. But I knew that was impossible because my room is on the first
floor of the house.
My heart was pounding as I quickly flung the window wide open. At that moment, a cold, white hand
grabbed my arm and tried to pull me out the window. I screamed and tried to free myself but the grip was
just too strong.
Suddenly, I heard a gentle voice saying, Susie, wake up. Youre having a nightmare. Everythings alright.
Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw my mum standing over my bed, smiling and holding my book in her
hand. I was so relieved that Cathys ghost hadnt been real!
e.g. The weather outside was
A cold and rainy.
B windy and rainy.
C cold and windy.
D cold, windy and rainy.

38 What happened when the writer opened the

window?
A She got wet.
B Something caught hold of her.
C She fell out the window.
D A tree branch hit her.

36 The writer usually reads

A after watching television.
B after brushing her teeth.
C during the day.
D before she goes to sleep.

39 Susie is the name of

A the writers mother.
B Emily Brontes sister.
C the writer.
D the ghost.

37 When the writer heard the noise, she felt

A excited.
B upset.
C afraid.
D confident.
