A START IN SAILING
Ask any sports enthusiast to name the most popular sports and the stock answer will probably be football, cricket, golf and rugby. A lot of people (0) ... play those games but far (16) ... go fishing, play badminton or sail. Why do we get it wrong? Because sports editors, of newspapers and television channels, are stuck (17) ... their traditional patterns of judging by crowds (18) ... than by how many actually go out and do the thing. Sailing probably suffers most (19) ... this narrow-mindedness (20) ... it is often difficult to report and almost impossible to film except (21 ) ... huge
expense. Yet, despite the absence of the oxygen of publicity, sailing is (22) ... of the most popular participant sports. Why is it so popular in Britain? Possibly because of the great island tradition of (23) ... a nation of sailors, but probably much more because of (24) ... many opportunities. Nowhere in Britain is all that far from the sea and (25) ... are plenty of rivers and lakes where it is easy to get afloat. But many would-be sailors are discouraged (26) ... taking the first steps. They worry (27) ... the cost of a boat, the need for special equipment, the dangers of tackling the elemental forces of nature and believe that sailing-club people (28) ... snobbish and unapproachable. All misconceptions. You can start sailing (29) ... next to nothing and find friendly sailing clubs throughout the country (30) ... nobody is snobbish or looks down on beginners.

DISCOVERY OF STAINLESS STEEL
0 Stainless steel was discovered by an accident in 1913 by the British
00 metallurgist Harry Brearley. He was experimenting with steel alloys
31 combinations of metals - that they would be suitable for making gun
32 barrels. A few months later he had noticed that most of his rejected
33 specimens had rusted although one was containing 14 per cent
34 chromium had not. The discovery led to the development of stainless
35 steel. Ordinary steel goes rusts because it reacts easily with oxygen in
36 the air to produce crumbly red oxides. Other metals, such as aluminium,
37 nickel and chromium, also react in a much the same way but their oxides
38 form an impermeable surface layer, stopping oxygen to reacting with the
39 metal underneath. With Brearley's steel, the chromium formed such as
40 a film, protecting the metal from further attack, and the whole success of
41 stainless steel is based well on the fact that it has this one unique
42 advantage. In fact, a variety of stainless steels are now made. One
43 of the commonest contains of 18 per cent chromium and 8 per cent
44 nickel and is used for kitchen sinks. Kitchen knives are made of steel
45 containing about 13 per cent chromium. A very more corrosion-resistant
46 alloy is achieved by adding up an incredibly small amount of the metal
molybdenum - these steels are used as cladding for buildings.

INFORMAL NOTE
Jack, Believe it or not, it's been nearly a year since the last poetry competition and it's time to have it again this year. Can you put together a leaflet about it. Here are the points to include: - We dan't want poems to be longer than 30 lines. - They can be written for either children or adults, but we want them to be entertaining, so explain that we'd really like ones that make people laugh. - We can't afford to return poems, so if people want them back after the competition they'll have to send us a stamped, addressed envelope with the entry. - People can send in as many entries as they like, but nobody will be able to win more than one prize. - They've got to send an entry form in with their poem (they can get these from libraries and bookshops). - We're charging Ł10 to enter the competition, and this should be sent with the entry form (but point out that they only pay Ł5 if they live in this area). - Mention that entries must be in by March 27 and that the names of the people who will receive prizes will be known about a fortnight later. |

THE CHINESE IN THE USA
In 1848, gold was discovered in California. Within a year, the territory had attracted vast numbers of people from other countries. They came from every part of the globe - Australia, France, Turkey and China. Their plan was to work until they had enough money (0) ..... .
