Read the text about a military briefing and choose the false statement.

     Now the platoon commander of No 3 Platoon is briefing his section commanders:
   ‘Pay attention and take notes. The Company Commander is not happy with the standard of map reading. So, next Tuesday, 26th October, the whole platoon is going out on a 24-hour exercise, Exercise "Hot Foot". The aim of the exercise is to give the platoon practice in compass marching across country. You will move by day and night. The dress for the exercise will be fighting order. You will not carry weapons and ammunition. You are to draw combat rations for your sections from the stores. Do this at 1600 hours on Monday 25th October. Individuals will be responsible for their own meals during the exercise. Each man is to take a protractor, a compass, map sheet 175, map-case, torch and chinagraph pencils. You are responsible for checking this. The platoon is to parade outside the guardroom at 0730 hours on Tuesday 26th October. We shall travel to the exercise area by 4-tonner but we shall march back to camp. Estimated time of return to camp will be 1030 hours on Wednesday 27th October. Make sure you brief your sections. Right, that's all. Any questions?’

Read the text about soccer in Brazil and choose the false statement.


    Soccer is the national sport of Brazil. The Brazilian passion for the game leads many observers to describe it as more of a religion than a sport for Brazilians. Intense and often fanatical support of the national team is a force that serves to bridge Brazil's ethnic and class divisions. Its national team is the only team that has played in all nineteen World Cup competitions, the sport's highest level of international play that are held every four years. Brazil is also the only team to win the tournament five times. Males of all classes and backgrounds play soccer. Its popularity stems partly from its limited equipment demands. The poorest of youth play in the streets because soccer requires just a ball (or even a makeshift ball) and some open space. Peladas, or pick-up games, are common occurrences, especially on Sundays. For spectators, national team games draw the attention of the entire nation. Work essentially halts while Brazilians gather to watch the game in homes, offices, bars, and other venues. Wins in international competition can lead to nationwide partying and parades; losses can lead to widespread disappointment and national debate concerning the team's performance and future.

Choose the correct statement considering the underlined adjectives in the text and their correct degrees according to the context:
    Drill Sergeant Mendonça barked orders to the Signal Corps students like a mad dog. Today's training was (demanding) than yesterday's, pushing the will-be NCO’s to their limits. The Signal Corps students are sure they are the (smart) bunch in academic disciplines, but they also needed to excel in their physical training. Mendonça, (mean) as a rattlesnake, kept reminding them of the consequences of failing the fitness test.
    The obstacle course was the (bad) of all the exercises. They climbed walls, slogged through mud, and crawled under barbed wire, sweating like pigs. By lunchtime, they were exhausted and (hungry) than wolves. Sergeant Mendonça, however, would not let us rest. "This is not a picnic, gentlemen!" he yelled. The NCO academy is not for the faint of heart in fact, but the students are determined to make it.

TITLE: Asteroid probe snaps rare images of Martian Moon


March 13, 2025 3:29 PM

By Agence France-Press


Paris -
On the way to investigate the scene of a historic asteroid collision, a European spacecraft swung by Mars and captured rare images of the red planet's mysterious small moon Deimos, the European Space Agency said Thursday. 

Europe's HERA mission is aiming to find out how much of an impact a NASA spacecraft made when it deliberately smashed into an asteroid in 2022 in the first test of our planetary defenses.

But HERA will not reach the asteroid - which is 11 million kilometers from Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter - until late 2026.

On the long voyage there, the spacecraft swung around Mars on Wednesday.

The spacecraft used the planet's gravity to get a "kick" that also changed its direction and saved fuel, mission analyst Pablo Munoz told a press conference.

For an hour, HERA flew as close as 5,600 kilometers from the Martian surface, at a speed of 33,480 kilometers an hour.

It used the opportunity to test some of its scientific instruments, snapping around 600 pictures, including rare ones of Deimos.

The lumpy, 12.5-kilometer-wide moon is the smaller and less well-known of the two moons of Mars.

Exactly how Deimos and the bigger Phobos were formed remains a matter of debate.

Some scientists believe they were once asteroids that were captured in the gravity of Mars, while others think they could have been shot from a massive impact on the surface.

The new images add "another piece of the puzzle" to efforts to determine their origin, Marcel Popescu of the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy said.

There are hopes that data from HERA's "HyperScout" and thermal infrared imagers which observe colors beyond the limits of the human eye - will shed light on this mystery by discovering more about the moon's composition.

Those infrared imagers are why the red planet appears blue in some of the photos.

Next, HERA will turn its focus back to asteroid Dimorphos. When NASA's DART mission smashed into Dimorphos in 2022, it shortened the 160-meter-wide asteroid's orbit around its big brother Didymos by 33 minutes.

Although Dimorphos itself posed no threat to Earth, HERA intends to discover whether this technique could be an effective way for Earth to defend itself against possibly existence-threatening asteroids in the future.

Space agencies have been working to ramp up Earth's planetary defences, monitoring for potential threats so they can be dealt with as soon as possible.

Earlier this year, a newly discovered asteroid capable of destroying a city was briefly given a more than 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

However further observations sent the chances of a direct hit back down to nearly zero.

Richard Moissl, head of the ESA's planetary defense office, said that asteroid, 2024 YR, followed a pattern that will become more common.

As we get better at scanning the skies, "we will discover asteroids at a higher rate," he said.

The ESA is developing a secondary planetary defense mission to observe the 350-meter-wide asteroid Apophis, which will fly just 32,000 kilometers from Earth on April 13, 2029.

If approved by the ESA's ministerial council, the Ramses mission will launch in 2028, reaching the asteroid two months before it approaches Earth.

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster - instead, it is at risk of failing.


Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profounp influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River. It forms part of the global ocean "conveyor belt" connecting the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The system regulates Earth's climate and pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe. But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current.


The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is like a moat around the icy continent. The current helps to keep warm water at bay, protecting vulnerable ice sheets. It also acts as a barrier to invasive species such as southern bull kelp and any animals hitching a ride on these rafts, spreading them out as they drift towards the continent. It also plays a big part in regulating the Earth's climate.


The influence of climate change:
Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous research suggested one vital part of this conveyor belt could be headed for a catastrophic collapse. Theoretically, warming water around Antarctica should speed up the current. This is because density changes and winds around Antarctica dictate the strength of the current. Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed up the current.


Far-reaching consequences:
The consequences of a weaker Antarctic Circumpolar Current are profound and far-reaching. As the main current that circulates nutrient-rich waters around Antarctica, it plays a crucial role in the Antarctic ecosystem. Weakening of the current could reduce biodiversity and decrease the productivity of fisheries that many coastal communities rely on. It could also aid the entry of invasive species such as southern bull kelp to Antarctica, disrupting local ecosystems and food webs.

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous research suggested one vital part of this conveyor belt could be headed for a catastrophic collapse. Theoretically, warming water around Antarctica should speed up the current. This is because density changes and winds around Antarctica dictate the strength of the current. Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed up the current.


Far-reaching consequences:
The consequences of a weaker Antarctic Circumpolar Current are profound and far-reaching. As the main current that circulates nutrient-rich waters around Antarctica, it plays a crucial role in the Antarctic ecosystem. Weakening of the current could reduce biodiversity and decrease the productivity of fisheries that many coastal communities rely on. It could also aid the entry of invasive species such as southern bull kelp to Antarctica, disrupting local ecosystems and food webs.

TEXT I


The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster - instead, it is at risk of failing.


Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profounp influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River. It forms part of the global ocean "conveyor belt" connecting the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The system regulates Earth's climate and pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe. But fresh, cool water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the salty water of the ocean, potentially disrupting the vital ocean current.


The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is like a moat around the icy continent. The current helps to keep warm water at bay, protecting vulnerable ice sheets. It also acts as a barrier to invasive species such as southern bull kelp and any animals hitching a ride on these rafts, spreading them out as they drift towards the continent. It also plays a big part in regulating the Earth's climate.

One man in a boat


L.G. Alexander


Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything ‐ not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. “You must give up fishing!” my friends say. “It’s a waste of time.” But they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

Why man’s best friend is still a four‐legged substitute parent?


Márcio Paulo Barbosa Pena Mascarenhas


Man’s best friends is actually a substitute parent, fulfilling deep emotional needs that humans fail to meet, according to a leading dog expert. People bond with dogs as much as babies do with mothers, and reap unconditional love, security and protection from the relationship.


Dr. Valerie O’ Farrel ‐ a psychologist ‐ says that dogs can also compensate for an unhappy childhood. People perceive in their pets qualities lacking in their parents. According to him, most dogs perform remarkably well as “emotional sponges”, soaking up owners’ hang‐ups. “Dogs obviously cannot understand the nature of their owners’ predicaments in the way that a sympathetic human listener can. Because the dog does not get upset or angry or go away, the owner can imagine he understands”, states the doctor.


As well as protection, concern for our well‐being and unconditional love, we often assign to dogs a fourth parental function: providing a safe and welcoming base to come home to. Some canines take this duty very seriously, Dr. O’ Farrel reveals. She describes the experience of a 37‐year‐old beauty therapist with her faithfull mongrel. “He would follow me to the station each morning to see me off”. I would watch him from the carriage and see him about to turn and go home. Invariably, he would be there to meet me when I got off the train at night. And what’s more surprising ‐ we lived about a mile and a half from the station.
