Section A
I. Read the passage and answer the following questions
Sally lived in a small house beside a lake. At the back of the house, was a big hill. One day, as she
climbed the hill, she heard a strange noise. It sounded like a bark and a cry. She saw something move
and went over to the spot. She saw a small fox cub. It could not move because its leg was caught in a
fox trap. Sally freed the cub and took it home. Her mother was a nurse and so, she washed its leg with
warm water and put a bandage on it. They gave it some milk and a straw bed to sleep on it in the
corner. Two days later, it was time to set the cub free. Sally felt sad, but she carried it to the bottom of
the hill, left it there and walked away. What a surprise they got the next day! When they opened the
door in the morning, they found the fox cub there.
