Rachel Kelsey, 34, and her partner, Jeremy Colênso, 33, who are both experienced climbers, were on a climbing holiday last week in Switzerland. But on Saturday night, when they were 3,000 metres up in the mountains, there was a terrible storm. The wind was incredibly strong and the snow was two metres deep. They couldn't move and they had to spend the night on the mountain. Rachel had her mobile phone with her, so she sent a text message to five friends in the UK asking for help. About four hours later, one of her friends, Avery Cunliffe in London, replied with a text message. Avery said, | don't usually have my mobile in the bedroom. At about 4 a.m. Iwoke up and saw Rachel's message. | found the number of the police in Switzerland and phoned them. They contacted the mountain rescue team. But the weather was so bad that the helicopter couldn't get to the two climbers. The rescue team sent a text message to Rachel and Jeremy telling them that they had to spend a second night on the mountain. The message said: 'So sorry Rachel. We tried. Wind too strong. Have to wait till morning. Take care. Be strong. Rachel said, | thought we were going to die. ltwas freczing, —15º€, and really windy on the mountain. We spent the night talking and planning a holiday in the sun! Next morming the storm passed and the helicopter arrived to take them off the mountain.

Very soon the whole street will know! 3 A favourite phrase of doctors, dentists, and nurses. They usually say it just before they give you an injection. But the phrase is not complete. The full phrase is: “This won't hurt me (but it will probably hurt you a lot)” 4 You make a new friend on holiday or on a bus journey, vou swap e-mail addresses, and you make this promise. Six months later you find a name and e-mail address on a card or an old piece of paper. 'Oh dear! you think — but then you remember that they didn't write to you either! In Hamlet, Shakespeare told us never to borrow or lend money. He was right. When we lend people money they always make this promise, but then they forget. If we then ask for the money back, they think we are mean. If we don't ask, we never get the money back. Whitney Houston sang a song about this and every day, all over the world thousands of people make the same promise to each other: We know eternal love exists, but is this promise the most difficult one to keep of them all?

The person behind Zara is Amancio Ortega. He is the richest There are only two official photographs of him, and he rarely gives interviews. Although he is a muiltimilionaire businessman, he doesn't look like one = he doesn't like wearing suits or ties, and prefers to wear jeans and a shirt. When he was young he worked as a shop assistant in a clothes store, but he always dreamed of having his own business. In 1963 he started a small company which made women's pyjamas. In 1975, at the age of 40, he opened his first clothes shop in La Corunia, a small city in north-west Spain, and named it Zara. Now you can find Zara shops all over the world, from New York to Moscow to Singapore. So why is Zara so successful? The main reason is that Zara reacts incredibly quickly to the latest designer fashions, and produces clothes which are fashionable but inexpensive. Zara can make a new line of clothes in three weeks. Other companies normally take about nine months. The clothes also change from week to week — so customers Keep coming back to see what's new. It produces 20,000 new designs a year — and none of them stay in the shops for more than a month. So if you've seen a new jacket or skirt you like in a Zara store, hurry up and buy it, because it won't be there for long. man in Spain, but very few people know his face.

He was invited to the school to open the 'Mick Jagger Performing Arts centre, a new music and drama department at Dartford Grammar School. Jagger said that he was honoured" that the centre was named after him. But in a newspaper interview two days before he told a journalist that in fact he hated school and that he used to be a rebel. He didn't use to do the homework — 'there was far too much'- and he was continually at war with the teachers. He used to break the rules all the time, especially rules he thought were stupid, about how to wear the school uniform and things like that. Once he even organized a mass protest against 'appalling' school dinners. “It was probably the greatest contribution to school | ever made,' he said. Although he made a good start at school, Jagger said his school work deteriorated because of music and girls”. However, according to one of his old school friends, musician Dick Taylor, this is not true. He says that Mick didn't use to be a rebel at all - he was quite bright and used to work hard. He also used to do a lot of sport. When Mick Jagger left school, he had seven O-levels and two A-levels, which at that time were good qualifications — so perhaps Dick's memory is better than Mick's...

He was investigating how much of our personality depends on genes. Dr Bouchard was amazed by how many things the twins had in common. He had expected them to look identical and to have similar medical histories. But he and his team were very surprised to find the enormous similarities in the two Jims' personalities, their lifestyle, their hobbies, their religion, even their political beliefs. Some of the similaríties are incredible: Jim Springer's son is called James Allen, and Jim Levwis's is called James Alan. They both have dogs named Toy. They like and hate the same sports and they voted for the same President. And both Jims have the same romantic habit of leaving little love letters for their wives around the house. Dr Bouchard is convinced that genes are probably much more important in determining our personality and preferences than people used to think. a Complete the sentences so they are true for you. b “810” Listen and check.
