Mountain climbing

One of the most difficult but rewarding of pastimes is mountain climbing. The modern climber must 26.1ownholdcontrolpossess many different skills. Rock climbing requires a combination of gymnastic ability, imagination and observation, but perhaps the most necessary skill is being able to 26.2try outcater forstand forwork out how much weight a particular rock will support. Mountaineers climb in groups of three or four, each climber at a distance of approximately six metres from the next. Usually, one person climbs while the other climbers 26.3have intentionkeep holdmake roomtake advantage of the rope. The most experienced climber goes first and shows the other climbers 26.4wherehowthatwhich way to go, making the rope secure so that it is safe for the others to follow. 

With much mountain climbing, snow skills play a very important part. Ice axes are used for breaking steps into the snow and for testing the ground. Climbers always 26.5succeed by themselvesjoin the luggage togethersucceed in climbingtie themselves together so that, if the leader falls, he or she can be held by the others and pulled back to safety. The number of dangers faced by climbers is almost endless. And the 26.6demand forshortage forgap inlack of oxygen at high altitudes makes life even more difficult for mountaineers.

Read the text and decide if the following statements are true, false or not given.

Around the world, women are making great strides in education and entering the workforce in higher numbers than ever before. In fact, according to the International Labour Organization, women now hold 39% of all jobs globally. However, despite this progress, there's still a gap when it comes to gender equality in the workplace.

One of the biggest issues is the gender pay gap. On average, women earn 18% less than men for the same work. This means that for every dollar a man earns, a woman earns only 82 cents. This can add up significantly over a lifetime, making it harder for women to achieve financial security.

Another challenge is the lack of women in leadership positions. Only 8% of CEOs worldwide are women. This means that important decisions about companies and industries are often made without the perspectives of women.

So, what can be done to achieve gender equality in the workplace? Many companies are starting to implement programs that promote equal pay and opportunities for women. This includes offering parental leave for both mothers and fathers, and providing training programs to help women advance in their careers.

Closing the gender gap is not just fair, it is also good for business. Studies show that companies with more women in leadership positions tend to be more profitable and innovative. By creating a more equal playing field, we can unlock the full potential of all workers, regardless of gender.

Women make up less than half of the global workforce. 

The gender pay gap means women earn less than men per hour.

Only 18 percent of CEOs around the world are women.

Parental leave programs can help promote gender equality in the workplace.

Companies with balanced gender representation are more likely to be successful.

STARTING THE DAY WITH MAGIC BREAKFAST 

Thanks to their partnership with a charity called Magic Breakfast, hundreds of primary schools in the UK provide a good breakfast to over 23,500 UK schoolchildren every school day. Without this, they would start school on an empty stomach. These children, who come from deprived backgrounds, are offered a free breakfast before classes begin. The support of sponsors like supermarkets, and cereal and bagel manufacturers means each nutritious breakfast costs the charity just 22 pence per child. The popularity of the breakfast clubs with pupils is not only down to the tasty food which ends morning hunger pangs, but also the chance to socialise with some of the staff. The atmosphere is relaxed enough for pupils to chat about their problems over breakfast before lessons begin.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Children whose last meal on arrival at school was lunch the day before are so hungry that they can not concentrate. Some exhibit behavioral problems. A study published by health experts in the Journal of Public Health Nutrition bears out the importance of Magic Breakfast’s work. It found that a healthy breakfast is connected with higher academic performance. Of schools that took part in the research, 84 percent reported breakfast club attendance had a positive impact on educational attainment, 95 percent said pupils had greater alertness and energy levels.

Magic Breakfast is a charity that feeds children in 460 primary schools in the UK. It works with schools where over 35 percent of the people are eligible for free school meals. There are over 300 schools waiting to join the scheme. Its goal is to make sure that by 2020, there are no children in the UK too hungry to learn.
