Passage 1

All girls, and not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise. They should take part in competitive sport to build up confidence. It’s believed that sport can help girls cope with failure.
   According to research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation, only a quarter of girls in England meet current recommended levels of physical activity each week.
   Research suggests that girls are far less active than boys. The proportion taking part in regular sport falls steeply after the age of 10. One in five girls does no physical activity at all.
   On the other hand, more and more senior women business leaders and female executives played organised sports. They believe that sport makes them more competitive in their careers.

The theme of this year’s World Tourism Day is "Tourism—linking cultures". Tourism plays a powerful role in building international understanding and mutual respect.
   Tourism offers a wonderful connecting thread between visitor and host community. It promotes dialogue and interaction. Tourism can build bridges and contribute to peace.
   Tourism’s contributions to development also promote global communication. Also, tourism can generate socio-economic opportunities and help reduce the gap between rich and poor.
   World Tourism Day is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of tourism to global well-being. As we travel, let us engage with other cultures. Let us recognize tourism as a force for a more tolerant, open and united world.
