Q: CHAPTER III.

THE END OF THE BALL.

THE priest's long journey did not appear to have fatigued him. He was as cheerful and as polite as ever--and so paternally attentive to Stella that it was quite impossible for her to pass him with a formal bow.

"I have come all the way from Devonshire," he said. "The train has been behind time as usual, and I am one of the late arrivals in consequence. I miss some familiar faces at this delightful party. Mr. Romayne, for instance. Perhaps he is not one of the guests?"

"Oh, yes."

"Has he gone away?"

"Not that I know of."

The tone of her replies warned Father Benwell to let Romayne be. He tried another name.

"And Arthur Penrose?" he inquired next.

"I think Mr. Penrose has left us."

As she answered she looked toward Lady Loring. The hostess was the center of a circle of ladies and gentlemen. Before she was at liberty, Father Benwell might take his departure. Stella resolved to make the attempt for herself which she had asked Lady Loring to make for her. It was better to try, and to be defeated, than not to try at all.

"I asked Mr. Penrose what part of Devonshire you were visiting," she resumed, assuming her more gracious manner. "I know something myself of the north coast, especially the neighborhood of Clovelly."

Not the faintest change passed over the priest's face; his fatherly smile had never been in a better state of preservation.

Answer the following questions:
1. Where has the traveler come from?
2. Who is he?
A: 1. Devonshire
2. Father Benwell
Q: Once upon a time, there was a boy named Freddy. And Freddy loved his mom very much, and his mom loved him very much too. One day, Freddy went outside to ride his bike. On the way out, his mother told him, "Remember to wear your helmet," and Freddy grabbed his helmet and met his friends outside. When he was putting on his helmet, his friends told him, "Helmets are for girls! You're not cool if you wear a helmet!" Freddy thought about what his mom told him, but he wanted to be cool like his friends, and he took off his helmet.

Freddy and his friends went on a long adventure, and they rode all the way to the top of the largest hill in their neighborhood. Looking down, Freddy was scared. He had never ridden down this hill before. His friends said, "What are you, scared?" Freddy did not want to come off as scared. He hopped on his bicycle, and down he went. Freddy started speeding up, going very, very fast. He pressed his brakes, but oh no, his brakes weren't working. Freddy, speeding down the hill, did not know what to do. He got to the end of the hill and slammed right into a tree. He awoke the next day in the hospital.

At the hospital, his mother was there. Freddy opened his eyes and told his mom the whole story. He told her how we would never do that again, and how he would always wear his helmet. His mom gave him a big kiss on the forehead, and Freddy knew his mother was right in the beginning. She didn't have to say it. In the end, Freddy learned that it's important to not care what other people think, and those that think you're not cool because you wear a helmet are the ones that aren't cool in the first place.

Answer the following questions:
1. What was the boy in the story's name?
2. who loved him very much?
3. What did he go out to do?
4. What did his mom tell him when he was walking out?
5. And what did he do when his buddies made fun of him for wearing one?
6. why?
7. Where did the kids ride to?
8. What did Freddy run into?
9. where did he wake up?

A: 1. Freddy
2. his mom
3. ride his bike
4. Remember to wear your helmet
5. he took it off
6. to be cool
7. the top of the largest hill

Q: (CNN) -- Chingaiz Khan was an unknown quantity when he arrived for a junior weightlifting tournament in South Waziristan nine years ago.

Chaotic and intensely religious, the Pakistani region is known by locals as "the most dangerous place in the world."

The 12-year-old Chingaiz, with his short, jet-black hair and smooth, unblemished skin, looked younger than the other boys. But, despite it being his first ever tournament, he was still stronger than everyone else.

For his father Shams-Ul Wazir, a local college lecturer, the decision to register his son for the tournament paid off handsomely.

Chingaiz was crowned the junior boys' weightlifting champion, the first step on a journey that would take him into the world of professional sport.

Except Chingaiz wasn't really his name.

Chingaiz was actually called Maria Toor Pakay.

Chingaiz was a girl.

"I suggested the name of Chingaiz Khan for her since she had always been like a boy," explained Al Wazir in an interview with HBO. "She liked the name very much."

Girls and boys

This isn't a story of deception, but rather a tale of necessity.

Maria Toor Pakay is Pakistan's number one squash player, ranked 49th in the world. She also comes from an ultra conservative region in Pakistan that is home to the Taliban.

Female participation in any form of public life is strongly discouraged, by both words and deeds. Education, working, sports; anything involving women leaving the house unaccompanied by a male relative was seen as the work of the devil.
