EM – State Level – Class 5 – Model Paper 56

 SECTION – 7 COMPREHENSION

Passage – 1

Jess didn't concern himself with what would become of it. For the first time in
his life he got up every morning with something to look forward to. Leslie was more
than his friend. She was his other, more exciting self - his way to Terabithia and all
the worlds beyond. Terabithia was their secret, which was a good thing, for how
could Jess have ever explained it to an outside? Just walking down the hill towards
the woods made something warm and liquid steal through his body. The closer he
came to the dry creek bed and the crab apple tree rope the more he could feel the
beating of his heart. He grabbed the end of the rope and swung out towards the
other bank with a kind of wild exhilaration and landed gently on his feet, taller and
stronger and wiser in that mysterious land. Leslies favourite place besides the castle
stronghold was the pine forest. There the tree grew so thick at the top that sunshine
was veiled. No low bush or grass could grow in that dim light, so the ground was
carpeted with golden needles. 'I used to think this place haunted, ' Jess had
confessed to Leslie the first afternoon he had revved up his courage to bring her
there. 'Oh, but it is, ' she said. 'But you don't have to be scared. It’s not haunted with
evil things.'
