he dogsled race was about to begin. Julie’s team of dogs was
lined up at the starting gate. Julie stood behind them. The air
was so cold that she could see her breath. Other teams were
lined up, too, and the dogs were excited. Julie kept her eyes on
the clock. At exactly ten o’clock, she and the other racers
yelled, "Mush!" The dogs knew that meant "Go!" They leapt
forward and the race began!
Julie had trained months for this race, and she hoped she and
her dogs would win. Hour after hour, day after day, Julie’s
dogs pulled the sled in order to get in shape for the race.
Now, they ran over snowy hills and down into frozen valleys.
They stopped only to rest and eat. They wanted to stay ahead of
the other teams. The racers had to go a thousand miles across
Alaska. Alaska is one of the coldest places on Earth. The dogs’
thick fur coats helped keep them warm in the cold wind and
weather. In many places along the route, the snow was deep.
Pieces of ice were as sharp as a knife. The ice could cut the

dogs’ feet. To keep that from happening, Julie had put special
booties on their feet.
At first, the dogs seemed to pull the sled very slowly. They
were still getting used to the race. But on the third day out,
they began to pull more quickly. They worked as a team and
passed many of the other racers. Once, one of the sled’s
runners slid into a hole and broke. Julie could have given up
then, but she didn't. She fixed it and they kept going.
When they finally reached the finish line, they found out that
they had come in first place! It was a great day for Julie and
her dogs.
21. Where does the dogsled race take place

C. in Alaska D. in a field

23. What does the word “team” in line 1 mean?
A. friends and family B. to join together
C. many dogs D. a group working together
24. Why don’t the dogs freeze in the cold weather?
A. Julie puts special booties on their feet
B. they sleep by the fire at night
C. their thick fur coats keep them warm
D. it doesn’t get very cold in Alaska
