TEXTO: Read the text and answer questions 25, 26 and 27.

Until the 1960's, team sports were not played on a global scale. In Europe, people ______ European games, and in North America we played American games. The only real "global" sports ______ individual sports, such as golf and tennis.

At that time, rich Americans could travel to Europe on holiday, and play these two games; but whole teams of sportsmen did not often travel around the world, it was too complicated and slow!

   
The first worldwide sports competition was the Olympic Games; but originally the Olympics were only concerned with athletics; they did not include the wide variety of sports that they now cover.

So as far as team sports are concerned, America has grown up with its own tradition; we love our "football" and our baseball and our basketball. We don't mind if these sports are not popular in other countries. That way, we can organise the “World Series” baseball championship, knowing that a US team will almost always win.

But a pilot also faces problems. ____ often suffer from jet lag and can become tired when

Although many people think it is a real dream job, pilots must be responsible people, because they have the lives of up to a few hundred passengers in their hands. They have to have hundreds of hours of training before they can do their job. Pilots must remain calm in dangerous situations and always have to make the right decisions.

On average pilots spend about 70 to 100 hours a month in the air.
