1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Heidi was awakened early next morning by a loud whistle, Opening her
eyes, she saw her little bed and the hay beside her bathed in golden
sunlight. For a short while she did not know where she was, but when she heard
her grandfather's deep voice outside, she recollected everything, She
remembered how she had come up the mountain the day before and left old
Ursula, who was always shivering with cold and sat near the stove all day.
While Heidi lived with Ursula, she had always been obliged to keep in the
house, where the old woman could see her. Being deaf, Ursula was afraid to let
Heidi go outdoors, and the child had often fretted in the narrow room and had
longed to run outside. She was therefore delighted to find herself in her new
home and hardly could wait to see the goats again.
Jumping out of bed, she put on her few things and in a short time went down
the ladder and ran outside. Peter was already there with his flock waiting for
Schwanli and Barli, whom the grandfather was just bringing to join the other
goats.
