One September night a family had gathered round their fireplace. Up the chimney roared the fire, and brightened the room with its broad flames. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; and the aged grandmother sat knitting in the warmest place. This family of mountaineers was situated in the Notch of the White Hills, where the wind was sharp throughout the year, and pitilessly cold in the winter. Not just that, but a mountain towered above their heads, so steep, that the stones would often roll down its sides and wake the whole hou at midnight.
Though they lived in such a remote place, the people held daily conversation with the world. Some travelers, would pau here and pay only for food and accommodation, but meet with a homely kindness beyond all price. When the footsteps were heard, therefore, between the outer door and the inner one, the whole family ro up, grandmother, children, and all, as if about to welcome someone who belonged to them, and who fate
was linked with theirs.
The door was opened by a young man. His face at first wore the sad expression, almost hopelessness, but soon brightened up when he saw the kindly warmth of his reception. He felt his heart spring forward to meet them all, from the old woman, who wiped a chair with her apron, to the little child that held out its arms to him.
"Ah, this fire is the right thing!" cried he, "The biting wind almost froze me. But when I saw this good fire, and all your cheerful faces, I felt as if you were waiting for my arrival. So I shall sit down, and make mylf at home."
After supper, the young man talked freely, feeling himlf a member of the family. He was of a proud, yet lonely spirit, so trusting others was not easy for him. However, that night, the educated youth poured out his heart before the simple mountaineers.
24. What can we learn about the family from the passage?
A. They charged travelers a lot for food. B. They were poor but hardworking.
C. They lived in a cold and dangerous spot. D. They remained cut off from the world.
25. What might be the young man's purpo to drop by the family?

C. To keep company with the family. D. To know about the mountain.
