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.

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.

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.

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.
