READING TEST ГР3

It was a cold December day in Oxford. Lily was visiting the famous Bodleian Library when she saw a strange shimmer behind a bookshelf.

“I can’t believe my eyes!”, she whispered.

A tall, furry creature with glasses stepped out.

“ Hello, I am Professor Snow. Where on earth have you been? I’ve been waiting for a curious human to help me!” He explained he was studying how snowflakes form, but his machine had malfunctioned. I pressed the wrong button, he admitted, and now my research notes… It vanished into thin air!

Together, they traced a trail of glowing frost to the library’s old clock tower. There, the notes were safely tucked behind a giant frozen gear.

The professor sighed with relief.

“Thank you, Lily! Sometimes even yetis need a little help.”

The professor carefully took the notebook. “

“Sometimes the greatest discoveries are found where you least expect them,” he said, smiling warmly.

“Thank you, Lily. Remember, magic and science often share the same shelf.” Then, with a soft shimmer, he faded into the snowy air, leaving behind only a perfect, sparkling snowflake on the open page of a book.

Lily placed it gently in her pocket, knowing this winter secret was only hers to keep.
