Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
In February 2007, Ewa Wiśnierska, a German paraglider, was in Australia with other paragliders
preparing for the World Championships. One morning, as they were getting ready to take off, they noticed
a thunderstorm approaching. However, they decided to carry on. As the best paragliders, they were skilful
enough to keep away from some dark clouds. Unfortunately, as the competitors took off, the weather
quickly got worse. Despite Ewa's attempt to escape, two enormous clouds came together and trapped her.
They pulled her up inside the storm like a leaf in the wind. She flew higher and higher. "It was dark and
I could hear lightning all around me." She reached nearly 10,000 m, higher than the top of Mount Everest,
and then lost consciousness.
At that height, the temperature was about -40°C and there was very little oxygen. Death seemed certain.
For forty minutes, Ewa was unconscious. Waking up, she was still inside the storm. It was dark, and
hailstones as big as tennis balls were flying past. But fortunately, her glider, which was spinning above
her head, was still in one piece. Eventually, Ewa came out of the storm cloud and landed safely near a
small farm. When her team reached her, she was 60 km away from the place where she took off. She was
weak and covered in ice - but alive! Ewa was the luckiest woman in the world. There's no logical reason
why she survived. Ewa had frostbite on her ears and legs, but a few days later, she competed in the World
Championships.
