Section J: Comprehension Open-ended (5 x 2 marks)<br />
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.<br />
Going camping is the best fun in the world if we know how to do it. Every healthy<br />
boy and girl if given an opportunity should enjoy living outdoors for a week or two. There<br />
is more to camping however than "roughing it" or seeing how much hardship we can bear.<br />
A good camper always makes himself as <strong>com</strong>fortable as he can under the circumstances.<br />
The saying that "an army travels on its stomach" means that a soldier cannot make long<br />
marches or fight hard unless he has good food. The surest sign of a "tenderfoot" is the boy<br />
who makes fun of you because you try to have a soft dry bed while he prefers to sleep on<br />
the ground under the mistaken idea that it is manly or brave. He will usually spoil a trip in<br />
the woods for everyone in the party.<br />
Another poor kind of a camper pitches his tent so that his bed gets wet and his food<br />
spoiled on the first rainy day, and then sits around cold and hungry trying hard to think<br />
that he is having fun, to keep from getting homesick. This kind of a boy "locks the door<br />
after the horse is stolen." If we go camping we must know how to prevent the unpleasant<br />
things from happening. We must always be ready for wind and rain, heat and cold. A<br />
camping party should make their plans a long time ahead in order to get their equipment<br />
ready. Careful lists should be made of what we think we shall need. After we are out in the<br />
woods, there will be no chance to run around the corner to the grocer's to get what we<br />
have forgotten. If it is forgotten, we must simply make the best of it and not allow it to<br />
spoil our trip<br />
