My father, brother and I visited West Point to see a football game between Army and Boston College. Taking a stroll（漫步，闲逛） before kickoff（开始，开球） , we met many cadets（学员，士官生） in neatly¹ pressed uniforms. Several visting fans asked the recruits if they would pose for photographs, "to show our son what to expect if he should attend West Point."

One middle-aged² couple approached a very attractive female cadet and asked her to pose for a picture. They explained, "We want to show our son what he missed by not coming to West Point."
