Loud and Ignorant?
1 Don’t beIieve aII of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones
that are true in generaI may not be true about specific individuaIs or a Iarge segment of the
popuIation. For exampIe, aIthough Americans tend to be Iouder and more boisterous than
peopIe from other cuItures (especiaIIy at athIetic events), many of the peopIe you meet
5 wiII be quiet and poIite. Some peopIe may be intoIerant and xenophobic, but most wiII be
pIeasant and weIcoming. Remember that American fiIms and teIevision exaggerate in order
to generate excitement, and so present a rather distorted picture of what Iife in the United
States is reaIIy Iike. Likewise, tourists are not aIways on their best behavior.
Americans do tend to be more informaI than peopIe from other countries. lt is common
10 for Americans to wear casuaI cIothing to schooI and to greet professors by their first name.
NevertheIess, good manners and poIiteness are aIways appropriate. lf you are courteous and
poIite, and dress a IittIe more formaIIy than your American friends, it wiII onIy refIect weII on you.
However, there are situations and environments in which formaIity is the norm. Some
businesses require their empIoyees to wear a uniform or a suit. lt wouId be inappropriate to
15 wear a T-shirt and bIue jeans to a job interview. Some of the more prestigious restaurants
require a jacket and tie.
Americans tend to dress up for cuIturaI events (the opera, theater, and baIIet) and to dress
down for athIetic events. FormaI wear is required at weddings and funeraIs, or any other
event with reIigious overtones.
20 Rid yourseIf of any preconceived notions of American behavior before you arrive. lf
you reIy on the stereotypes, you wiII IikeIy put yourseIf into an awkward and embarrassing
situation and offend your American acquaintances.

America’s Court Systems

Many peopIe are surprised to learn that there isn’t a single “court system” in the United States. Every state
has its own court system to handIe cases that involve disputes or crimes that occur within the state. The
federal government also has a court system to handle cases that involve disputes or issues governed by
federal laws or the U.S. Constitution.

“Well, actually, it was my eldest granddaughter, Lucy’s idea. She was visiting one day at my old age home
and she was talking about her latest extreme sport, sky diving. Then we got around to talking about what to
do for my 90th birthday and the two ideas just got mixed up,” Mr. Smith explained to me as we drank tea
in the gardens of his old age home in southern England. The summer weather was warm; the sun was out
5 and Mr. Smith’s fellow pensioners were enjoying the gardens, some walking, others being pushed in their
wheelchairs. It was hard to imagine that this frail 90-year-old man had fallen through the sky above only
a few days ago. Of course he had jumped with a professional skydiver and they had shared one parachute,
but still it was quite an achievement. I had to ask Mr. Smith what it had felt like.
He paused as if he was having some second thoughts about discussing his great adventure with me; perhaps
10 some of his fellow pensioners had simply not believed he had jumped from a plane. Finally he answered,
“It’s hard to compare sky diving to anything else, but I can say that now I understand what people mean
when they say they jump for the thrill. As I fell, I felt that the ground was rushing to meet me and not that
it was me who was falling towards it. The best comparison I can make is to say that I enjoyed it as much
as I enjoyed the birth of my first child.”
15 After this statement, he offered me some cake and we began to talk about his family. I wanted to know if
there was a history of risk-taking in his family. “Now that you mention it, there was my great-uncle Ted.
As a child, he climbed up the flagpole at school, and as an adult, he was an explorer in Australia. The funny
thing was he had no sense of direction and was always getting lost. One time, he fell asleep in the outback
and only woke up when it was dark. He was afraid of the Aborigines and when he saw some torches, he
20 assumed it was some of the local people coming to kill him for being on sacred land. He jumped up and ran
away. Actually, the torches belonged to his team and they were out searching for him. The search continued
for two days when suddenly he appeared in camp by himself. On another occasion, he fell asleep in the
Australian Outback and an Aborigine found him. But he did not hurt Uncle Ted at all Instead, the Aborigine
took pity on this small European man so far from home, picked him up and carried him back
25 to his camp.”
I was still amazed that this old man who was supposed to be enjoying a quiet and
risk-free retirement had agreed to be taken up in a plane and had then sky dived
from a great height. I asked one more question: now that he had celebrated his
90th birthday by sky diving, how would he celebrate the next one? “Oh,
30 I don’t know,” replied Mr. Smith. “We will have to wait and see. I might
start scuba diving, but the gear is expensive and I can’t get any company
to insure me.”

1. Billy Bloggart leaves the Typhoons

Those of us who were at the Typhoons’ last game were all very upset to say goodbye to Billy Bloggart.
He has played for this basketball team for more than ten years. Some of his best basketball was played
as a member of this team, especially in the very successful 1996-1998 seasons when the Typhoons won
back-to-back West Coast and U.S. National Titles. Billy averaged 45 points and 25 assists per game. Who
will forget his superb last-minute winning dunk in the last game of the series last year?
Billy will be joining an East Coast team and playing basketball in Boston next season. So his many loyal
fans here in Los Angeles will have to be satisfied with watching his games early in the morning. We wish
Billy success with his new team and thank him for the many hours of exciting basketball that he has
played with the Typhoons.
2. Typhoons’ Shares Hit by Transfer Deal

The price of the Typhoons’ shares fell yesterday by 24% as nervous investors reacted badly to the
announcement that Billy Boggart was leaving the basketball team at the end of this basketball season.
The CEO of the company, which recently floated bonds on the market called “Billy’s Bonds”, appealed
to investors to judge the company on its performance and profit margin and not on the departure of this
legendary player.
However, sources in the market comment that Billy Bloggart represents a huge asset for the company
because of his high profile on National TV and his promotion work for the Typhoons’ PLC Company. The
great majority of the Typhoons’ merchandise features a picture of Billy. At the same time, the shares of
the Boston Spurs PLC Company rose considerably following the news that Billy Bloggart will be joining
their team next season.
3. “Why I decided to leave.” An exclusive interview with Billy

We spoke to Billy and his wife at their luxurious villa on the riverside. His wife Jeanette answered our
first question: “It was a decision we both made together after considering the options carefully.” Billy
added, “Yes, we have had many second thoughts about it.” Jeanette continued, “I’m from the East Coast
myself. My parents and sisters still live there, and Billy agrees that our children should get to know their
grandparents better.”
Billy remained quiet and let his wife answer the questions. “I’ve always supported Billy’s decisions in the
past and we think that the climate and the education system in Boston will be beneficial to our children.
Did you know that the university entry rates are much higher in Boston than in Los Angeles?”
Finally Jeanette told us, “Oh yes, we’ll miss all our friends and the fans here in Los Angeles. Billy is
especially fond of the Homeless People’s Institute, which he visits every week. But we’ve decided to go
and that’s that.”

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About

Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Complementary and alternative medicine, as defined by NCCAM, is a group of diverse medical and
health care systems, practices and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional
medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for the most part
there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies - questions
5 such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions
for which they are used.
Are complementary medicine and alternative medicine different from each other? Yes. Complementary
medicine is used together with conventional medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is
using aromatherapy to help lessen a patient’s discomfort following surgery. Alternative medicine is
10 used in place of conventional medicine. An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to
treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by
a conventional doctor.
What are the major types of complementary and alternative medicine? Alternative medical systems
are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. Often, these systems have evolved apart
15 from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States. Examples of
alternative medical systems that have developed in Western cultures include homeopathic medicine
and naturopathic medicine. Examples of systems that have developed in non-Western cultures include
traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
Mind-body medicine uses a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect
20 bodily functions and symptoms. Some techniques that were considered CAM in the past have become
mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy). Other mind-body
techniques are still considered CAM, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, and therapies that
use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.
Biologically-based therapies in CAM use substances found in nature such as herbs, foods, and vitamins.
25 Some examples include dietary supplements, herbal products, and the use of other so-called natural but
as yet scientifically unproven therapies (for example, using shark cartilage to treat cancer).
Manipulative and body-based methods in CAM are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or
more parts of the body. Some examples include chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, and massage.
Energy therapies involve the use of energy fields. They are of two types:
30 • Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround and penetrate the
human body. The existence of such fields has not yet been scientifically proven. Some forms of energy
therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body by placing the hands
in, or through, these fields. Examples include Qi gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch.
• Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies involve the unconventional use of
35 electromagnetic fields, such as pulsed fields, magnetic fields, or alternating- current or direct-current fields.

Writing Novels in a Foreign Language

An American child who begins digging in his backyard and doesn’t stop will eventually “end up in
China.” The Chinese have no comparable saying - no one digs toward North America. Ha Jin has come
to Atlanta from the far side of the planet, but in getting here he has crossed no gulf greater than the
one between his first and second languages. Written Chinese, “Hanzi,” uses an alphabet of over 30,000
5 characters. But even the term “alphabet” is misleading, because it suggests a letter-based, rather than
word-based, system.
Jin has now published six books in English - two books of poetry, two books of short stories, and two
novels. The poems in his forthcoming collection, “Wreckage,” concern China’s ancient past and rough
passage into modernity. Although they are full of violence and upheaval, he says, they are in part the
10 products of a filial feeling toward the language - “a kind of guilt I feel over having abandoned my
mother tongue. I think I had to write these poems for psychological reasons. It’s as though I’m trying
to pay a debt.”
Jin was determined to write, and increasingly interested in fiction. For both practical and aesthetic
reasons - written Chinese is “very highbrow and detached from the spoken word,” he once told a
15 reporter - he chose to make English the language of his creative work. Concerned that the name Xuefei
didn’t suggest an obvious pronunciation to the English-reading eye, he adopted Ha Jin when he began
publishing in American journals. Jin says he’s now able to think in English “most of the time.” “But
when I’m not really paying attention,” he says, “very often Chinese comes out. Yesterday I was with
a Chinese friend at a restaurant. Suddenly, I spoke Chinese to the waitress.” He laughs. “And I dream
20 half and half.”
It’s not surprising, of course, that Jin still finds himself subconsciously straddling two cultures. The
things he has left behind for the sake of his writing - his first language, his first name - have been
fundamental, the sacrifices utter. Asked if 25 years ago he could have foreseen himself teaching at
a university in Atlanta, Georgia, Jin laughs again.” I’d never heard of Georgia, “he says. “I’d never
25 heard of Atlanta. I hadn’t even heard of Boston. But I’m here now and I’m not surprised, because life
is always unpredictable. Who knows where we will go? But I feel very fortunate. In the army, I knew a
lot of young men and women with a lot of potential - extremely intelligent people. But they didn’t get
on in their lives because they didn’t have the opportunity.”
Chinese-American novelist Gish Jen once made an observation when speaking of Ha Jin. “The whole
30 idea of looking to masters instead of overturning something is very Chinese,” she told a New York
Times reporter. “On some level, Ha Jin has chosen mastery over genius. It’s as if he said, ‘I am going
to make something like that.’ This never happens with American writers. We are too beset with the
anxiety of influence.”
“Maybe this sounds strange,” he says of the writing task now before him, “but I don’t expect this to be
35 a magnificent, brilliant novel. I just want it to be a decent novel. From story writing I’ve learned that
you have to write a lot, and you have to write well and you have to write poorly, and you have to be
able to discern what’s good and what’s bad. From there, it’s just a matter of drawing strength from the
masters in your own small way. That’s all I can really hope to do.”

Australia
This is the wild and beautiful landscape of Central Australia: the “outback,” which covers
seventy-five percent of the continent. It seems to lie, still and untouched, in the silence of its
first creation. And yet, according to the Australian Aborigines, the whole continent is a maze of
song.
The Aboriginal myth of how the world began is extremely complex, but I’ll try to simplify it.
In the beginning, which they call “Dreamtime,” the “Ancestors” created themselves from clay,
and then began to sing the world into existence. They walked about, singing the names of
everything they saw: birds, animals, plants, rocks, and rivers. As they walked, they left trails of
footprints and songs. These are the famous “Songlines,” which form a profound part of the
Aborigines’ religious beliefs.
Culture Crash
lt’s aImost thirty years now since Brad Perkins came into our smaII southern town Iike an
ambuIance on its way to a car crash. At the time, he had no idea that anyone had noticed him,
but of course we had. He was from New York City, a pIace where manners, vaIues, and the
ruIes of courtesy were very different from ours. Up North, being direct is something positive.
Down here, it’s considered rude.
During the years, Brad never reaIized that he was offending anyone. We now know that he
never meant to. Once, Dr. FrankIin invited Brad for Sunday dinner, not Iong after he’d arrived.
AIthough he is actuaIIy quite reserved, Dr. FrankIin Iikes to be known around town as a cuItured
man. He therefore feIt the need to weIcome Brad to town and show him some southern
hospitaIity. Yet that meaI caused such a probIem for Brad that he aImost had to Ieave town.

Looking back now, l can see that we were the ones who were being rude, and not Brad
Perkins.
There were onIy six peopIe at dinner, but what he did seemed to have been broadcast aII over
town by the next day. And, of course, everyone took offense. Later, Dr. FrankIin agreed that
they had gone overboard and had been too sensitive. As a ruIe, however, it is not customary
for a guest to refuse a second heIping in a southerner’s home.
Brad Perkins wiII have been here for thirty years next June. We’ve come to admire him, and
it’s hard to imagine the pIace without him. We treat him just Iike one of us, but l guess we’ve
just gotten used to peopIe from up North. Over the years, we’ve tried to Iearn more about
what’s considered appropriate in the North. We reaIize now that they’re not rude; they just
communicate differentIy.

to the truth. ln his books, the murderer’s wives aII had names which began with the Ietter “B”
and they aII had Iarge insurance poIicies. FinaIIy, their murders aIways took pIace on the 5th of January.”
Others seem to feeI that this soIution is too simpIe. They cIaim that someone eIse, perhaps a
dissatisfied reader, got hoId of the idea from Adams’ books.

Hank found Eddie, who was Iying on a rock Iedge. He quickIy sized up the situation. “lt’s a risk
to move him at this point, but we have no choice,” he said. “He appears to have severaI broken
bones.” Turning to the other two friends, he said, “You know, this adventure of yours couId have
had an even worse ending if we hadn’t found you today.”
AII three teenagers were taken to the hospitaI and when Eddie was weII enough, they appeared
on a nationaI TV taIk show. They warned other young adventurers against going on fooIish
expeditions Iike the one which had Ied to their accident. “We thought we were being so daring and
cIever. Sure, it takes nerve to do what we did, but we were stupid to have gone near the edge of
the cIiff. We couId have been kiIIed,” said Eddie. “ln fact, l found out afterwards that l aImost was.”
“Don’t take chances, even if you’re famiIiar with the area that you’re headed for,” added his
friend. “Study your destination on the map and take aIong aII the equipment you may need.
Then your trip can be a thriIIing adventure and not a terrifying experience.”

Complaint
666 Oak street
October 21st
Mr. Larry McCann, President
GrumbIe’s Department Store
P.O. Box 5554
New York, NY 11001
Dear Mr. McCann,

l’d Iike to bring to your attention the events of the past few weeks concerning a washing
machine which l purchased from your appIiance department on September 14th from your
appliance department. The machine was deIivered and instaIIed severaI days Iater, but since that
time has faiIed to work.
Before using the machine, l read the instruction book and foIIowed the instructions to the Ietter .
They didn’t seem to be written in a compIicated way - l usuaIIy have a head for these things, but
for some reason the machine didn’t work. At that point l re-read the directions so as to be sure l
had set everything correctIy. However, the machine remained idIe.
A IabeI on the back of the machine Iisted a phone number to caII in case of probIems. l caIIed
and spoke to a technician, who gave me step-by-step instructions how to turn on the machine.
But the whoIe process was a waste of time. The machine stiII wouIdn’t work.
SeveraI days Iater, another technician actuaIIy came to my home to try to figure out what was
wrong. l hoped to be doing my Iaundry by the time he Ieft, but he couId not get the machine to
work, either. He toId me l had two options: either to have the machine repaired or exchange it
for a new one. Since this machine is brand-new and has never worked, l feIt l deserved a new one.
l caIIed your store and was toId that the normaI procedure was to write a Ietter to the
department manager expIaining the probIem. l did this severaI weeks ago, but my Ietter appears
to have been ignored.
Mr. McCann, by the time you get this Ietter, an out-of-order washing machine wiII have been
sitting in my house for nearIy six weeks. This whoIe episode has been a pain in the neck for me.
The machine needs to be repIaced immediateIy. lf it is not, my Iawyer wiII be getting in touch
with you. PIease consider this a finaI warning.
SincereIy,
FeIicity Dundee

Ron: Well have you tried something different? Maybe acupuncture?

ReasonabIe peopIe shouId not have bIind faith in the medicaI profession. We aII have to get
more information about the treatments that we are given. We have to check out the medicine

WhiIe it is true that modern Western medicine has risks, we shouIdn’ t reject it totaIIy. The

peopIe who get good medicaI care are heaIthier and Iive Ionger.

aIternatives. Many peopIe think that these treatments wiII heIp even when the situation seems
hopeIess to Western doctors.
AIternative treatments are attractive because they seem Iess harmfuI and more sensitive
to our needs. Surgeons perform dangerous surgery, but refIexoIogists, naturaI heaIers, or
homeopathic doctors do not seem to give dangerous treatments. PeopIe don’t think aIternative
care wouId kiII anyone by mistake. ln addition, everyone wants to be treated warmIy. No one
wants to go to a doctor in a coId, impersonaI hospitaI cIinic. Since some doctors don’ t have a
nice “bedside manner,” peopIe Iike the attention they get from aIternative heaIers.
Whether or not we decide to choose one type of treatment or another, we have to reaIize that
there wiII be risks in aImost any treatment. AII doctors and heaIers are human beings who can
make mistakes. They can miss things and waste vaIuabIe time. No matter what happens, we
have to think about aII of the different options. Remember, there are miIIions of patients who
are aIive and weII today because of “conventionaI” Western medicine.

Starting Young
By S. Noriko
Seven-year-oId Marina Schuman, a Russian immigrant, is caIIed “the interpreter” by her cIassmates.
Two new Russian students have recentIy joined Marina’s cIass, and most of their schooIwork
needs to be transIated for them. Since Marina is biIinguaI, she was chosen for the task.
“When l Iisten to Marina taIk in her native Ianguage, it’ s quite obvious that she is Russian,” said
Mrs. Marge Smythe, Marina’s teacher. “However, when l hear Marina express herseIf in fIuent
EngIish, it’s hard to beIieve that she has Iived in the United States for Iess than two years. l
hardIy ever have to correct her. l’m sure her Russian cIassmates wiII aIso be speaking EngIish
fIuentIy within a few months.” Language experts point out that Iearning a second Ianguage is
much easier for chiIdren than for aduIts. “ChiIdren begin to put words together into sentences
as earIy as age two,” says Dr . Annette Davis, a Ianguage speciaIist. “This pattern appears to be
the same in chiIdren aII over the worId, no matter what Ianguage they’re Iearning. We beIieve
that we can make more progress teaching a two- year-oId than an oIder chiId or aduIt. The
younger chiId has more of an abiIity to pronounce foreign words correctIy, and chiIdren in
generaI are better than aduIts at memorizing new words.”
Parents who want their chiIdren to practice speaking a second Ianguage at an earIy age
can now sign their kids up at pre-schooI Ianguage institutes. One schooI known to have
succeeded in teaching foreign Ianguages to young chiIdren is the Higgins Language lnstitute.
There are seven Higgins schooIs throughout the country, and they currentIy offer five
Ianguages for pre-schooIers, incIuding Spanish and French. The concept is such a hit that
within a year , the number of Higgins schooIs across the country wiII have doubIed.
Besides teaching foreign Ianguages, many pre-schooI Ianguage institutes teach EngIish as
a second Ianguage to immigrant chiIdren. By the time they reach eIementary schooI, these
youngsters wiII have Iearned to speak EngIish fIuentIy. Like Marina, some of these young
peopIe may even find themseIves serving as interpreters and transIators.

Finding Your Customers

Everybody talks about target markets and taking aim, but not everybody does it. Target marketing is
the only effective way to optimize marketing resources. Your marketing budget is going to be most
effective when it reaches your selected target market. When we look at the big picture and sort through
the marketing jargon, the benefit of target marketing is simple - efficiency. Solid target marketing is
5 a method of reaching your customers more efficiently. Target marketing is a better use of your most
valuable resources, i.e., time and money, to generate additional revenue. It is as straightforward as
that. Now, let’s talk more about how to get there.
Your goal is to acquire as much information as you can about your existing or prospective customers.
The more you know about your customers, the better you will be able to make decisions that will
10 enhance your ability to communicate and connect with them. Who do you consider will benefit the
most from your products and services? Think of the people and their most common characteristics
and attributes. One of the best ways to identify your target market is to look at your existing customer
base. Who are your ideal clients? What do they have in common? If you do not have an existing
customer base, or if you are targeting a completely new audience, speculate on who they might be,
15 based on their needs and the benefits they will receive. Investigate competitors or similar businesses
in other markets to gain insight.
While you collect information, use these four category areas to identify and define your target market:
1. Geographics: The location, size of the area, density, and climate zone of your customers.
2. Demographics: The age, gender, income, family composition and size, occupation, and education
20 of your customers.
3. Psychographics: The general personality, behavior, life-style, rate of use, repetition of need,
benefits sought, and loyalty characteristics of your customers.
4. Behaviors: The needs your customers seek to fulfill, their level of knowledge, information
sources, attitude, use, or response to a product.
25 One of the marketing fundamentals is focusing on benefits. This perspective is critical to target
marketing. Establishing an intimate understanding of the needs of your target market is critical. How
will your customer profit or otherwise gain from using your products or services? Meeting this need
is one of the most convincing points for sales to be made, cash to flow, and profits to result. You must
seek to quantify the value of offering a solution to this need. You may be able to do this by asking
30 these questions about your products and services:
• How much can it save your customer?
• How much can it earn for your customer?
• What intangible benefits might customers realize, and is it possible to quantify these benefits?

The Ideal Language Student

No matter what method you choose to learn a language, you can maximize your results by following
a few general guidelines. The most important thing is to take every opportunity to practice and
reinforce what you are learning. Like piano playing and ice-skating, language learning requires
constant practice. Almost no one can learn vocabulary words or grammar rules by looking at them.
5 They must be practiced again and again and used in conversation to convince the brain that they
are important and worth keeping.
Reinforcing the same material in a number of different ways is especially effective. In a language
class, you will probably read a textbook, listen to your teacher, complete some writing exercises,
and do some speaking. There are also other ways you might consider to reinforce the material that
10 you are learning:
• Reading aloud to yourself, a partner, or a tape recorder.
• Recording your teacher in class (with permission) and using the tape for extra practice.
• Copying text passages and lists of vocabulary words to help fix them in your memory.
• Testing yourself with flash cards.
15 • Making use of spare moments by carrying a textbook or small notebook with you wherever you
go, so that you can practice vocabulary or memorize dialogues.
• Posting notes, poems, or sayings with vocabulary words around your home. Especially if everyone
in the household is learning the language, it can be fun to label things.
• Thinking up associations. It’s easy to remember the Czech word for hello (ahoy) if you think of
20 sailors greeting each other. Ask your teacher about associations other students have used, or make
up your own.
• Using physical props. Get creative about using props to help you learn vocabulary. Using senses
such as touch and taste will help fix the words in your memory. For example, you might touch
something cold and say the word for that sensation in your new language. Consider using props
25 to help you learn the names of colors, foods, articles of clothing, and so forth.
• Keeping a diary. Start a diary in the foreign language, but don’t be too ambitious. Slowly your
new language skills will allow you to write more complex ideas. This is also a good way to
evaluate your progress and see how much headway you are making.
• Recording foreign language songs. It’s usually not too difficult to find the lyrics and a translation,
30 but the important thing is to sing along and so practice your pronunciation. We suggest you start
this exercise while taking a shower.
• Using language software on a computer. These days more and more options exist to practice your
new language skills with the assistance of a computer program. You can reinforce both reading
and listening skills using these programs.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About

Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Complementary and alternative medicine, as defined by NCCAM, is a group of diverse medical and
health care systems, practices and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional
medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for the most part
there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies - questions
5 such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions
for which they are used.
Are complementary medicine and alternative medicine different from each other? Yes. Complementary
medicine is used together with conventional medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is
using aromatherapy to help lessen a patient’s discomfort following surgery. Alternative medicine is
10 used in place of conventional medicine. An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to
treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by
a conventional doctor.
What are the major types of complementary and alternative medicine? Alternative medical systems
are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. Often, these systems have evolved apart
15 from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States. Examples of
alternative medical systems that have developed in Western cultures include homeopathic medicine
and naturopathic medicine. Examples of systems that have developed in non-Western cultures include
traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
Mind-body medicine uses a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect
20 bodily functions and symptoms. Some techniques that were considered CAM in the past have become
mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy). Other mind-body
techniques are still considered CAM, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, and therapies that
use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.
Biologically-based therapies in CAM use substances found in nature such as herbs, foods, and vitamins.
25 Some examples include dietary supplements, herbal products, and the use of other so-called natural but
as yet scientifically unproven therapies (for example, using shark cartilage to treat cancer).
Manipulative and body-based methods in CAM are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or
more parts of the body. Some examples include chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, and massage.
Energy therapies involve the use of energy fields. They are of two types:
30 • Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround and penetrate the
human body. The existence of such fields has not yet been scientifically proven. Some forms of energy
therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body by placing the hands
in, or through, these fields. Examples include Qi gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch.
• Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies involve the unconventional use of
35 electromagnetic fields, such as pulsed fields, magnetic fields, or alternating- current or direct-current fields.

Australia
This is the wild and beautiful landscape of Central Australia: the “outback,” which covers
seventy-five percent of the continent. It seems to lie, still and untouched, in the silence of its
first creation. And yet, according to the Australian Aborigines, the whole continent is a maze of
song.
The Aboriginal myth of how the world began is extremely complex, but I’ll try to simplify it.
In the beginning, which they call “Dreamtime,” the “Ancestors” created themselves from clay,
and then began to sing the world into existence. They walked about, singing the names of
everything they saw: birds, animals, plants, rocks, and rivers. As they walked, they left trails of
footprints and songs. These are the famous “Songlines,” which form a profound part of the
Aborigines’ religious beliefs.
Culture Crash
lt’s aImost thirty years now since Brad Perkins came into our smaII southern town Iike an
ambuIance on its way to a car crash. At the time, he had no idea that anyone had noticed him,
but of course we had. He was from New York City, a pIace where manners, vaIues, and the
ruIes of courtesy were very different from ours. Up North, being direct is something positive.
Down here, it’s considered rude.
During the years, Brad never reaIized that he was offending anyone. We now know that he
never meant to. Once, Dr. FrankIin invited Brad for Sunday dinner, not Iong after he’d arrived.
AIthough he is actuaIIy quite reserved, Dr. FrankIin Iikes to be known around town as a cuItured
man. He therefore feIt the need to weIcome Brad to town and show him some southern
hospitaIity. Yet that meaI caused such a probIem for Brad that he aImost had to Ieave town.

Advanced 1 Appendix
Looking back now, l can see that we were the ones who were being rude, and not Brad
Perkins.
There were onIy six peopIe at dinner, but what he did seemed to have been broadcast aII over
town by the next day. And, of course, everyone took offense. Later, Dr. FrankIin agreed that
they had gone overboard and had been too sensitive. As a ruIe, however, it is not customary
for a guest to refuse a second heIping in a southerner’s home.
Brad Perkins wiII have been here for thirty years next June. We’ve come to admire him, and
it’s hard to imagine the pIace without him. We treat him just Iike one of us, but l guess we’ve
just gotten used to peopIe from up North. Over the years, we’ve tried to Iearn more about
what’s considered appropriate in the North. We reaIize now that they’re not rude; they just
communicate differentIy.

By tomorrow morning, Gregory Adams, the famous author of “Murder Mysteries,” wiII have
been on triaI at the State Court. HopefuIIy, he wiII have toId the court what he has refused
to teII journaIists up untiI now. As of tomorrow, the truth wiII be reveaIed and the rumor that

Advanced 1 Appendix
Gregory Adams murdered his wife wiII be proven either true or faIse. Adams, a man with no
previous criminaI record, naturaIIy hopes to be found innocent, and sources cIose to the
famiIy say he is quietIy confident. As for the pubIic, however, opinion is divided.
Many peopIe seem to be convinced that the rumor that Adam “got rid of” his wife is no
exaggeration. lt is common knowIedge that he has been married three times, and that in each
case his wife mysteriousIy disappeared.
Ms. Mira HoImes, Adams’ former neighbor and a weII-known IocaI fiIm-maker, seems to know
the man very weII. Many beIieve that her version of events is quite concIusive.
“What the tabIoid headIines say is onIy the tip of the iceberg,” Ms. HoImes says firmIy. “l have
been investigating the tragic disappearance of Barbara Adams for many months now. l pIan
to make a documentary about it one day. Barbara disappeared on the 5th of January, just Iike
Bonnie Adams, and Bettina Adams before her. My theory is that Mr. Adams’ books hoId the key
to the truth. ln his books, the murderer’s wives aII had names which began with the Ietter “B”
and they aII had Iarge insurance poIicies. FinaIIy, their murders aIways took pIace on the 5th of January.”
Others seem to feeI that this soIution is too simpIe. They cIaim that someone eIse, perhaps a
dissatisfied reader, got hoId of the idea from Adams’ books.
Mira HoImes’s cIaims have onIy added to the scandaI surrounding the Adams triaI. Tomorrow,
the finaI chapter in this tragedy wiII be pIayed out in the State courtroom, and many peopIe
are interested to see how this mystery ends.
How Awful!
- My wife’s car was just stolen.
- Oh! How awful!
- I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes.
- Yeah. Life in the big city can be rough.
- Actually, it could have been worse.

- It could have been my car that got stolen!

Martha, you’ve risked your life for this sport. Can you tell us why?
Martha Moore: Well, Max, I’ve always loved adventure. And a few years ago I went to a
local climbing gym, just like this one, and I was hooked! After a couple of
months training inside, I decided to start climbing real rocks outside.
Max Redman: You’ve made some very daring climbs in both the United States and
Europe. That takes a lot of nerve. Don’t you get scared?
Martha Moore: Of course I’m afraid sometimes. But I don’t let myself think about falling.
Max Redman: Do you ever have second thoughts before a climb?
Martha Moore: Not really, I view each new climb as a challenge.
Max Redman: So what do you love most about climbing?
Martha Moore: I love overcoming physical challenges and pushing the limits of what I can
do. There’s nothing better than the feeling you get when you complete a
really difficult climb. So Max, are you ready for your first climbing lesson?

“We’re going to have to be very cautious near those rocks,” said Nick. “l’II be circIing up here untiI

EIena and Hank jumped from the pIane and Ianded near the boys.
“You came just in time,” said one of the frightened teenagers. “Eddie’s in pretty bad shape.”
Hank found Eddie, who was Iying on a rock Iedge. He quickIy sized up the situation. “lt’s a risk
to move him at this point, but we have no choice,” he said. “He appears to have severaI broken
bones.” Turning to the other two friends, he said, “You know, this adventure of yours couId have
had an even worse ending if we hadn’t found you today.”
AII three teenagers were taken to the hospitaI and when Eddie was weII enough, they appeared
on a nationaI TV taIk show. They warned other young adventurers against going on fooIish
expeditions Iike the one which had Ied to their accident. “We thought we were being so daring and
cIever. Sure, it takes nerve to do what we did, but we were stupid to have gone near the edge of
the cIiff. We couId have been kiIIed,” said Eddie. “ln fact, l found out afterwards that l aImost was.”

666 Oak street
October 21st
Mr. Larry McCann, President
GrumbIe’s Department Store
P.O. Box 5554
New York, NY 11001
Dear Mr. McCann,

l’d Iike to bring to your attention the events of the past few weeks concerning a washing
machine which l purchased from your appIiance department on September 14th from your
appliance department. The machine was deIivered and instaIIed severaI days Iater, but since that
time has faiIed to work.
Before using the machine, l read the instruction book and foIIowed the instructions to the Ietter .
They didn’t seem to be written in a compIicated way - l usuaIIy have a head for these things, but
for some reason the machine didn’t work. At that point l re-read the directions so as to be sure l
had set everything correctIy. However, the machine remained idIe.
A IabeI on the back of the machine Iisted a phone number to caII in case of probIems. l caIIed
and spoke to a technician, who gave me step-by-step instructions how to turn on the machine.
But the whoIe process was a waste of time. The machine stiII wouIdn’t work.
SeveraI days Iater, another technician actuaIIy came to my home to try to figure out what was
wrong. l hoped to be doing my Iaundry by the time he Ieft, but he couId not get the machine to
work, either. He toId me l had two options: either to have the machine repaired or exchange it
for a new one. Since this machine is brand-new and has never worked, l feIt l deserved a new one.
l caIIed your store and was toId that the normaI procedure was to write a Ietter to the
department manager expIaining the probIem. l did this severaI weeks ago, but my Ietter appears
to have been ignored.
Mr. McCann, by the time you get this Ietter, an out-of-order washing machine wiII have been
sitting in my house for nearIy six weeks. This whoIe episode has been a pain in the neck for me.
The machine needs to be repIaced immediateIy. lf it is not, my Iawyer wiII be getting in touch
with you. PIease consider this a finaI warning.

Now that l’ve been here for six months, l’m finding it much easier to express myseIf, aIthough

EngIish, and l hope that in six months’ time l’II be speaking fIuentIy. By then l wiII have been

to take advantage of the invitation (who turns down such an offer?) and l didn’t eat aII day,
so that l’d be hungry. l knew enough Portuguese to get by, but l memorized a few extra
expressions, just in case.
When l arrived for dinner, l was disappointed to see that they had made roast beef.
l tried to get it across to them that l didn’t eat meat, but l guess l made too poor an attempt
at it. When it became cIear that l wasn’ t going to eat anything, the room was suddenIy siIent.

Medical issues

Freddy: My shoulder is killing me.
Ron: Yeah you do seem to be in a lot of pain.
Freddy: Yeah, I know. I’ve been to the doctors twice already. I might need surgery.
Ron: Well have you tried something different? Maybe acupuncture?
Freddy: I don’t know how I feel about acupuncture. Someone sticking tiny needles in
my skin? Sounds painful.
Ron: Actually it doesn’t hurt. I’ve had it done a couple of times and I think it helped.
Freddy: Really?
Ron: Why don’t you give my acupuncturist a call?
Freddy: I guess I should. I’d do anything to avoid surgery. What’s the number?
Ron: I’ll get it for you later..... ow...ow...oww...
Freddy: Should I make an appointment for both of us?

ReasonabIe peopIe shouId not have bIind faith in the medicaI profession. We aII have to get
more information about the treatments that we are given. We have to check out the medicine
we take. We have to ask for second and even third opinions. We must do some research. We
have to use our common sense and be informed about our heaIth care.
WhiIe it is true that modern Western medicine has risks, we shouIdn’ t reject it totaIIy. The
harm to the patients usuaIIy comes from not getting medicaI treatment immediateIy. Most
peopIe who get good medicaI care are heaIthier and Iive Ionger.
lf this is the case, why has “aIternative” heaIth care become so popuIar in North America and
Europe? Often fear of surgery or of strong medication motivates peopIe to Iook for these

Advanced 1 Appendix
aIternatives. Many peopIe think that these treatments wiII heIp even when the situation seems
hopeIess to Western doctors.
AIternative treatments are attractive because they seem Iess harmfuI and more sensitive
to our needs. Surgeons perform dangerous surgery, but refIexoIogists, naturaI heaIers, or
homeopathic doctors do not seem to give dangerous treatments. PeopIe don’t think aIternative
care wouId kiII anyone by mistake. ln addition, everyone wants to be treated warmIy. No one
wants to go to a doctor in a coId, impersonaI hospitaI cIinic. Since some doctors don’ t have a
nice “bedside manner,” peopIe Iike the attention they get from aIternative heaIers.
Whether or not we decide to choose one type of treatment or another, we have to reaIize that
there wiII be risks in aImost any treatment. AII doctors and heaIers are human beings who can
make mistakes. They can miss things and waste vaIuabIe time. No matter what happens, we
have to think about aII of the different options. Remember, there are miIIions of patients who
are aIive and weII today because of “conventionaI” Western medicine.

Starting Young
By S. Noriko
Seven-year-oId Marina Schuman, a Russian immigrant, is caIIed “the interpreter” by her cIassmates.
Two new Russian students have recentIy joined Marina’s cIass, and most of their schooIwork
needs to be transIated for them. Since Marina is biIinguaI, she was chosen for the task.
“When l Iisten to Marina taIk in her native Ianguage, it’ s quite obvious that she is Russian,” said
Mrs. Marge Smythe, Marina’s teacher. “However, when l hear Marina express herseIf in fIuent
EngIish, it’s hard to beIieve that she has Iived in the United States for Iess than two years. l
hardIy ever have to correct her. l’m sure her Russian cIassmates wiII aIso be speaking EngIish
fIuentIy within a few months.” Language experts point out that Iearning a second Ianguage is
much easier for chiIdren than for aduIts. “ChiIdren begin to put words together into sentences
as earIy as age two,” says Dr . Annette Davis, a Ianguage speciaIist. “This pattern appears to be
the same in chiIdren aII over the worId, no matter what Ianguage they’re Iearning. We beIieve
that we can make more progress teaching a two- year-oId than an oIder chiId or aduIt. The
younger chiId has more of an abiIity to pronounce foreign words correctIy, and chiIdren in
generaI are better than aduIts at memorizing new words.”
Parents who want their chiIdren to practice speaking a second Ianguage at an earIy age
can now sign their kids up at pre-schooI Ianguage institutes. One schooI known to have
succeeded in teaching foreign Ianguages to young chiIdren is the Higgins Language lnstitute.
There are seven Higgins schooIs throughout the country, and they currentIy offer five
Ianguages for pre-schooIers, incIuding Spanish and French. The concept is such a hit that
within a year , the number of Higgins schooIs across the country wiII have doubIed.
Besides teaching foreign Ianguages, many pre-schooI Ianguage institutes teach EngIish as
a second Ianguage to immigrant chiIdren. By the time they reach eIementary schooI, these
youngsters wiII have Iearned to speak EngIish fIuentIy. Like Marina, some of these young
peopIe may even find themseIves serving as interpreters and transIators.
