SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
 Two delightful evening walks in thick wet grass had given Marianne a violent cold. She felt heavy and feverish, with pains all over her body, but at first refused all medicines, saying that a good night’s rest was all that she needed.
 The next day, however, she was worse, unable to do anything except lie miserably on a sofa, and after another restless, feverish night, Elinor was very ready to send for the Palmers’ doctor. After examining his patient, he said that she was suffering from an infection, and would recover in a few days. But the word 'infection' greatly alarmed Mrs Palmer, who feared that her baby might catch it, and she persuaded her husband to take her and the child to stay with a near relation, until there was no further danger of illness at Cleveland. Mrs Jennings kindly insisted on staying with the Dashwoods, as she felt responsible for the young ladies in their mother’s absence, and Colonel Brandon also offered to stay, in case a gentleman’s help was needed. Poor Marianne now felt really ill, and extremely miserable, as their return to Barton would have to be considerably delayed.
 Several days passed, and Marianne’s condition remained the same. The doctor came every day, talking each time of a speedy recovery, and Elinor was just as hopeful. In her letters home, she had not told her mother of the seriousness of Marianne’s illness, and now congratulated herself on not alarming Mrs Dashwood unnecessarily. But that evening, Marianne became restless again, and Elinor stayed beside her bed, watching her turning feverishly from side to side. 
 Suddenly Marianne sat up and cried wildly, 'Is mama coming?'
 'Not yet,' replied Elinor, hiding her terror, and helping her sister lie down again. 'It is a long way from Barton.' 
 'But she must come soon!’ cried Marianne desperately.' 
 'I shall never see her again if she does not come soon!' 
 Elinor was so alarmed that she sent for the doctor at once, and decided to send a messenger to Barton to fetch her mother. She spoke immediately to Colonel Brandon, who, although greatly depressed and fearing the worst, was ready to help in any way, and offered to drive to Barton himself. How grateful Elinor was for the comfort of such a friend as the colonel at that moment! Not a second was lost in delay of any kind, and the colonel drove off into the night, leaving Elinor to watch over her sister.
 Both sisters suffered greatly during that night, Marianne in her sleepless pain and fever, and Elinor in cruel anxiety that her mother would arrive too late to see her dead child alive. When the doctor came, he had to confess that his medicines had failed, and that the infection was stronger than ever. Elinor was calm, except when she thought of her mother, but she was almost without hope. She stayed by her sister’s bed all morning, her thoughts confused and sorrowful.
 But at midday, she began to see signs of the fever going down. Cautiously, she told herself not to hope, but soon it seemed almost certain, and on the doctor’s next visit, he was able to congratulate her on Marianne’s slow but sure recovery. Mrs Jennings showed her delight by talking and laughing without stopping, but Elinor’s feelings were of a different kind. Her relief and happiness were strong, but silent. That evening Marianne fell into a quiet, comfortable sleep, and Elinor knew that at last she was out of danger.
 Her thoughts now began to turn to her mother’s arrival, which was expected at any moment. Mrs Jennings persuaded her to leave Marianne’s bedside for a few minutes to drink some tea, but Elinor soon returned, to sit by her sleeping sister and wait for the travellers from Barton.
 The night was cold and stormy, but as long as Marianne slept peacefully, Elinor did not mind the beating of the rain on the windows, or the noise of the wind blowing around the house. At eight o’clock she heard a carriage drive up to the front door. Knowing what her poor mother must be feeling, Elinor found it impossible to be calm, and hurried downstairs. She rushed into the sitting-room and saw - Willoughby. 
 With a look of horror, she stepped backwards, and was about to leave the room, when he said rapidly, 'Miss Dashwood, I beg you to stay. I have something I must tell you.'

REACHING GREAT HEIGHTS!
 It's a magnificent, breathtaking piece of architecture, and we're standing on it. A group of us are 1,220 metres above the bottom of the Grand Canyon, looking down into the abyss from a viewing platform called the Skywalk. Far below us, the Colorado River flows m ajestically along the bottom of the gorge. The granite-grey rock is marked with green, brown, red and purple colours. I am terrified of heights. Only the incredible view gives me the courage to walk to the end of the Skywalk; that and also the fact that my editor asked me to write this article.
 The new $30 million Skywalk was designed by architect Mark Johnson. It’s said to be one of the modern wonders of the world, and it’s certainly a remarkable structure in every way. It can support the weight of 71 fully loaded 747 planes, cope with winds of up to 160 kilometres per hour, and survive an 8.0 magnitude earthquake, while it was being constructed, the Skywalk rested on the top of the canyon and was only moved into its final position after it had been built. The glass platform extends 21 metres out over the Grand Canyon and can hold 120 people at any one time. Visitors have to wear special covers over their shoes to avoid scratching the glass beneath their feet and, as you look down, you feel as though you are floating over the canyon.
 We have been told it’s safe, but still we feel quite alarmed knowing that there’s only 10 centimetres of glass beneath us. The Skywalk is situated at Eagle Point, about 190 kilometres east of Las Vegas, in an area which is part of the Hualapai Indian Reservation. The money to build the Skywalk, however, did not come from a government initiative. It was actually raised by Las Vegas businessman David Jin. It was then given to the Hualapai tribe in exchange for a percentage of the profits, and the profits are predicted to be very high indeed. Visitors pay anything from $150 and up for a guided tour, but often that includes the fee they pay for entering the national park. In addition to going on the Skywalk, you can also choose to go on a tour of the national park. These vary tremendously in price, but the most expensive involves a helicopter ride through the gorge and a boat trip along the Colorado River.
 In truth, the money is very important for the Hualapai. Of the 2,000 people in the tribe, more than a third live in poverty, and there is high unemployment. The Hualapai get most of their income from tourism, but although the Grand Canyon is visited by four million paying visitors every year, the Hualapai Reservation will have been visited by only about 300,000 by the end of this year. Now things are set to change and tourists to Las Vegas are being encouraged to visit the area. However, there are fears among the Hualapai that the site will be overdeveloped. Some opponents say that not enough is being done to protect the environment. But the work goes on. The runway at the tiny Grand Canyon West airport has been extended and other attractions are being planned. There is also a brand-new terminal building, plus a gift shop. At the Skywalk itself, there’s a visitor centre and a café, as well as a new Indian Village displaying traditional homes and customs of the Hualapai and other Native American tribes. As I think about the difficulties the Hualapai face and I look out at
the gorgeous landscape before me, I ask myself a question: does such a construction belong in the setting of the Grand Canyon? It might be thought by some that it’s wrong to interrupt a natural landscape with concrete buildings and glass and steel, but everybody on my tour agrees that the views are worth it.
Question 21: How was the Skywalk financed?
A. by an individual from a nearby city	B. by visitor donations to the national park
C. by tourists visiting the Hualapai Reservation	D. by companies investing in the area
Question 22: What does 'that' in line 4 refer to?
A. the fantastic sight below me	B. encouragement from my fellow tourists
C. my fear of heights	D. my need to write an article
Question 23: What point is the writer making when talking about the changes made to the area?
A. Improvements will be expensive.	B. The Hualapai will benefit financially.
C. Jobs will be created for outsiders.	D. The lives of local people will be at risk.
Question 24: What does 'the abyss' in line 2 mean?
A. the mountains	B. the deep hole	C. the river	D. the edge of the cliffs
Question 25: Why do visitors have to cover their footwear?
A. to avoid damaging the delicate floor	B. to give them a feeling of floating
C. to make them feel safer while walking	D. to keep the walking surface clean
Question 26: What conclusion does the writer come to in the final paragraph?
A. He wonders if the Skywalk is right for the area.
B. He is convinced of the benefits of tourism to the area.
C. He feels the new buildings add to the beauty of the area.
D. He doubts whether visitors will appreciate the improvements.
