Question

It was Giovanetta's eighteenth birthday, and to celebrate she had bought herself somevery expensive

clothes. She believed in doing it now and letting her father pay later. Ofcourse he would grumble – he always

did. “You’ll bankrupt us all,” he would complain,but Giovanetta would bring him round as she always did. She

would put on her best smileand Mr Torti, her father, would soon be on her side.

All that remained was the car. “No, no,” said Mr Torti. “You young people drive far toofast.” He said

that she was immature and that, anyway, the Alfa Romeo was a powerfulcar and very precious. The thought

of a visit from the police late at night upset him toomuch, he loved her so. And he went on and on...

Later that night, after spending the evening with her friends, Giovanetta said goodbye,and the Alfa Romeo

sped away in a swirl of dust down the long drive. They all watchedher go and admired her confidence.As the

car swung out onto the main road, Giovanetta did not know whether to laugh or cry. Of course she had driven

it before, many times, but her father had always been withher. He believed in speed limits and was naturally

cautious: “Careful with the speed,”he'd always say.But tonight – tonight she had over thirty kilometres to

drive home, the night was warmand cloudless, and the white lines in the road welcomed her invitingly in the

bright lightsof the headlamps. The car responded to her touch; ninety, a hundred and ten, a hundredand

thirty … It seemed to leap forward.

Giovanetta was deliriously happy, and as she began to sing the engine sang too, gentlyand softly as it

reached its most comfortable speed. She turned the radio up and changedchannel from her father's boring

news to the music station he hated so much.Suddenly the heavy tread of the road seemed to lighten and the

sound of the enginechanged to a higher note. It was a moment before Giovanetta realised that the car

hadtaken off. She was flying. She gripped the steering wheel for safety, since she knew therewould be no

point in turning it. The white lines of the road had already disappeared as thecar went its own way, gliding to

the right. Suddenly she saw bushes flashing by likeghosts and heard branches tearing into the metalwork with

terrible explosive scratches.At this point Giovanetta remembered how much her father loved that car, how

manyhours he spent watching over it, cleaning every mark off it.

Then the Alfa Romeo landed in a field and, for a time, the ground was hard and flat. As itbegan to

slope upwards, Giovanetta cautiously used the brakes and the car obeyed. Whatwould her father say?

Perhaps... well, he was very proud of her. At the top of the slopethere was a ploughed section of the field.a) As
