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 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.

Read the passage then choose the correct answer to fill in each blank.
According to a recent study of teenagers, most of them do not do housework just for pocket money. While many do household chores because they see it as a way of getting ready for adult life, others feel they have a to help their parents because it is fair, especially if their parents work.
More than two-thirds of the young people that were surveyed clean floors at least once a week and more than 80% set the table for meals or the washing-up. Girls are more likely than boys to wash their own clothes.
There are, a few teens who only do the housework because they are made to by their parents. They argue that they should not be expected to help out at home because in their view, their teenage years are a period which should be enjoyed rather than with household responsibilities.

After studying in Athens and Rome, Hypatia returned to Alexandria where she began teaching mathematics. She soon became famous her knowledge of new ideas. We have no copies of her books, but we know that she wrote several important mathematical works. Hypatia was also interested in technology and invented several scientific tools to help with her work.
