40. Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:
The dogsled race was about to begin. Julie’s team of dogs was lined up at the starting gate. Julie stood behind them. The
air was so cold that she could see her breath. Other teams were lined up, too, and the dogs were excited. Julie kept her
eyes on the clock. At exactly ten o’clock, she and the other racers yelled, “Mush!” The dogs knew that meant “Go!”
They leapt forward and the race began!
Julie had trained months for this race, and she hoped she and her dogs would win. Hour after hour, day after day, Julie’s
dogs pulled the sled in order to get in shape for the race.
Now, they ran over snowy hills and down into frozen valleys. They stopped only to rest and eat. They wanted to stay
ahead of the other teams. The racers had t go a thousand miles across Alaska. Alaska is one of the coldest places on
Earth. The dogs’ thick fur coats helped keep them warm in the cold wind and weather. In many places along the route,
the snow was deep. Pieces of ice were as sharp as a knife. The ice could cut the dogs’ feet. To keep that from
happening, Julie had put special booties on their feet.
At first, the dogs seemed to pull the sled very slowly. They were still getting used to the race. But on the third day out,
they began to pull more quickly. They worked as a team and passed many of the other racers. Once, one of the sled’s
runners slid into a hole and broke. Julie could have given up then, but she didn’t. She fixed it and they kept going.
When they finally reached the finish line, they found out that they had come in first place! It was a great day for Julie and
her dogs.

The boy buried his friend next to an icy stream. Then he sat under a tree and cried. What would he do? He had no family
and no home.
The boy cried for a very long time. But there was no one to comfort him. There were only the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, the sky filled with bright light. The boy held his breath. He was afraid to move. One bright star fell to the
ground. Slowly, the star took the shape of the old Ilama. She bent her head and drank from the stream. She looked at the
boy and smiled. As she jumped back into the sky, bits of Ilama wool fell.
As the Sun began to rise, the boy picked up the soft, warm wool. It glowed in his hands like starlight. He carried the

Ilama. And he was never
