Going up.
In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norway climbed to the top of Mount Everest. The next challenge was to climb it without bottled oxygen. This was the goal of Austrian climbers Peter Hambeler and Rainhold Messner. The doctors said they were crazy. They tried it anyway. On 8 May 1978, they were about 800 metres from the top of Everest. They woke at 3 a.m. and began preparing. It took them two hours to get dressed. Every breath was precious and they used their hands to communicate. Climbing was slow. At 8, 800 metres, they stopped and lay down every few steps because of the lack of oxygen. But between one and two in the afternoon they reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen.
Going down.
Most people can hold their breath long enough to dive to the bottom of a swimming pool, but on 17 August 2002, Tanya Streeter went a lot, lot deeper. The 29-year-old held her breath for 3 minutes 26 seconds and became the world free-diving champion. She dived 160 metres below the surface of the sea (that’s further than three football pitches). During the dive her lungs shrank to the size of oranges. Her heart slowed to fifteen beats a minute and she sang her national anthem in her head to control her fear. Tanya says that her mental strength is more important than her physical. “I am a very determined person. When I decide to do something, I do it.”-says Tanya.

Jamie’s kitchen.
Food lovers everywhere love the hottest young celebrity, Jamie Oliver. One big reason is his simple, easy and, above all, tasty recipes, which he has put together in some excellent recipe books. Good food was always very important in Jamie’s family. His parents had a pub in the south
Recently, he started a new project. He opened a restraint called ‘15’ in east London. He gave himself nine months to take a team of unemployed 16-24-year-olds, with almost no previous experience of cooking, and turn them into top-class chefs. Jamie says his biggest lesson is that each individual needs a different approach. Some people learn quickly and others need a bit more time.
The project also became a TV series called Jamies’s Kitchen
which millions of people watched. One of the real success stories is Kerry Ann Dunlop. Originally she failed her college exams but after Jamie took her on, everything changed. Now she runs her own section of the kitchen. ‘Everyone is still having a really good time. We get tired sometimes but we have fun in the kitchen, and seeing everyone enjoying the meals we’ve prepared makes us all feel good.’ And about Jamie, she says, ‘He’s fantastic. He’s like a big brother or best friend to me now.’ And what is she going to do next? ‘I think I’d go abroad. I’m going to apply for a job in a top New York restaurant.’
1. When did Jamie start cooking?
2. What did his parents own when Jamie was a child?
3. What did Jamie do with the recipes he collected?
4. Were his chefs experienced when he employed them?
5. What was the age of his future chefs?

Were school dinners really so bad?
Don’t spend lots of money on quality cooking; just make sure you like the place where you have it. A new report says that the enjoyment of a meal doesn’t depend on what you eat, but where you eat it.
Researches prepared the same meal in ten different locations and asked the people eating it to give it marks out of ten for the taste, texture and appearance of the food. When they served ‘chicken a la king’ in a residential home for the elderly, it got low marks. However, when they served in to customers in a four-star restaurant, the reaction was very different. The customers said it tasted delicious.
‘The results show that in many cases the location is actually much more important than the food’ said Professor John Edwards of Bournemouth University. Edwards and his team took great care to make sure that all meals would be as similar as possible. They used exactly the same kinds of chicken, they stored the dishes in the same kind of plastic bags and served them all with the same type of rice. The meal got the highest marks in every category-taste, texture, appearance-at the restaurant. Interestingly, bottom marks went to the dish when they served it in an army training camp. As one of the soldiers said, ‘It tastes awful and smells disgusting.’
1. A new report says that the enjoyment of a meal depend of what you eat.

9. The food got the highest mark in every restaurant.

ADVICE FOR UK BUSINESS TRAVELLERS
Giving Gifts.
Japan
:
Unlike the UK, gift-giving is very important in Japan and it usually happens at the end of a visit. Pens are a good idea or something not available in Japan. If you give flowers, avoid giving four or nine flowers as these are unlucky numbers.
China
:
Chinese people will probably refuse your gift several times, but it is polite to continue offering it to them. Do not give clocks to Chinese people as the Chinese word for ‘clock’ is similar to the word for ‘death’.
Middle East
:
Give gifts of highest quality leather, silver, or crystal. Remember to avoid alcohol and leather from pigs.
South America
:
Gift-giving is less formal in South America but still an important part of the culture. Avoid leather, as many of the world’s best leather products come from South America.
Australia
, Canada, the USA, and Europe:
Gift-giving in these countries is informal and not always expected. However, it is polite to bring someone flowers, chocolate of wine when visiting their house. In some European countries, you should avoid red flowers (associated with romance).
