w hat has probably happened
Well, let me put it this way, your body needs sugar to func
tion, just you know for sleeping, working, playing, all those sorts
of things. And it's insulin that enables your body to use this sugar,
and if you haven't got enough, the sugar builds up in the blood
and you actually get dehydrated really and the only way your
body can get rid of sugar is to send it out through the kidneys,
through the urine. So you send out loads and loads of urine and
so you get an awful thirst and that's usually thd first symptom,
especially with som ebody young, you know, who's going to actu
ally need insulin.

Well, it depends when and sort of how you get diabetes.

I f ... on the whole, below the age of, erm, about 30, you are going
to need to have insulin injections for the rest of your life because
you're not producing enough insulin and probably no insulin after
a while. But, erm, there are lots ... it's almost what 2% of the

cause you will becom e dependent on them and then you'd
need pep pills to give you energy. The remedy is in your own
hands. You must relax, or better still, take a week's holiday
and get away from the tensions at work which produce all
this stress and strain and give you these fits of depression.

2. Go to bed early, rise early. Get as much exercise as you can in
the open air, without fatigue. Eat and drink m oderately of
plain and nourishing food and especially, keep the mind di
verted, and in as easy and cheerful a state as possible.
3. Continue taking vitamin pills every day. 1 don't approve of
the idea of working yourself to death. When you get to a cer
tain age, you can't work as hard as you used to. Break your
self of this habit and take it easy by participating in a mild
sport or some other hobby.
4. All jokes aside, you should take it easy. Your blood pressure
is slightly above normal, but nothing to worry about. How
ever, precaution is better than the cure. You’d better take
care of yourself while you are still in good health.

IV. Read the following passages carefully, and describe
what has probably happened
1. Traditionally, Chinese people only used to pay the doctor
while they were well and they used to go to their doctor
fairly regularly, you know, maybe four or five tim es a year,
and they would only pay the doctor when they w ere kept
well. The doctor had various m ethods; of which acupuncture
was one, diet was another, exercise was another, er, of ensur
ing that the person lived a right life style. If you’re living in
tune with the law o f the universe, going to sleep when it’s
dark, waking up when it's light, working, resting, doing all
these things properly, then you won't get sick.
2. Well, holistic m edicine takes into consideration the whole of
the person. Now what this means, in most holistic systems, is
regarding the person as a physical entity, a m ental or em o
tional person, and also even their spiritual side o f them . Um,
it also includes looking at the body as a whole rather than
looking at individual parts o f the body, and as a way o f ex
plaining this, we could look at conventional m edicine as pro
ducing people who are like a cardiologist, who looks at a
heart, um, a brain specialist, a person who deals with bones,
or, etc. So what w e’ve tended to do in conventional medicine
is to break things down to a point w here we re actually only
looking at one part of the person and we re not actually relat
ing terribly well that part to the rest o f the body, w hereas ho
listic medicine insists that if th ere’s a problem, er, with your
right foot, that is going to som ehow affect your entire body.

IV. Read the following passages carefully, and talk about

what has happened
In the simplest possible term s, IVF is a method by which a
woman who has difficulty conceiving is som etim es able to have a
baby. After her m enstrual cycle has been m onitored, she begins
treatm ent. Fertility drugs are adm inistered so that her ovaries are
stimulated to release an abundance o f follicles, which are then re
trieved.
The woman's partner is asked to provide a sem en sample to
insem inate the eggs contained in the follicles in the laboratory.
The next day an em bryologist checks to see which, if any, eggs
have been fertilized. If success was achieved, a physician transfers
one or more of the fertilized eggs, which are now referred to as
embroys, to the woman's uterus. If requested, the rest o f the em
bryos will be cryo-preserved for later im plantation. After fifteen
days, blood is drawn for the first pregnancy test.
