A long red rope

Sarah was ready for her first lesson on the mountain. She knew the basic things about skiing
now after spending seven days at the ski camp, but that day, she wanted to come down one of
the ski runs just once before the end of her holiday the next day.

She put on her warm jacket and trousers. She had special glasses to stop the sunlight that
came from the snow hurting her eyes. Then she made sure her skis were on correctly.

When Sarah’s ski instructor, Kurt, gave Sarah a piece of red rope 10 meters long and said,
‘Put this on your belt,’ she laughed and said, ‘Why do I need that?’ Her instructor did not
laugh. ‘It’s the most important piece of equipment for any skier. It may be the difference
between life and death.’

Kurt explained that the area had a lot of big avalanches. Sarah said, ‘I know, but if there is a
problem, you will save me!’

Kurt explained that sometimes instructors and learners lose each other on the mountain. ‘You
can’t ski faster than an avalanche,’ he said. Sarah took out her cell phone and said, ‘I can call
you … or somebody … on this.’ Kurt smiled and said, ‘Sometimes cell phones don’t work
when you are under four meters of snow. But the red rope will be on the surface, and the
rescue teams will see it from a long way away, and they will find you.’

21. How long was Sarah’s holiday?

A. A week.
B. Eight days.
C. Nine days.
