olanları ("bunlar") gösterir, oysa olay çoktan bitmiş; E seçeneğinde us ve themself
uyumsuz. Yanıt C

21. There has been many efforts to eradicate racism, but very little success has been
achieved.
Tartışmalı bir soru. Zaman gösteren hiç bir yapı olmadığı için A seçeneğinin ve C
seçeneğinin doğru olduklarını söyleyebilirsiniz. Dilbilgisel açıdan bu doğru olsa bile
anlamsal olarak C doğru yanıt. A seçeneğinde ikinci bölümün past perfect olması
hatalı. Burada was achieved gerekirdi, çünkü önce çaba sarfedildi, sonra başarısızlık
geldi.
22. Evaporation is the process by which a solid or liquid is resolved into vapour by heat.
Herşeyden önce, by heat yapısından ötürü edilgen yapı gerekir. Seçenekler içinde bir

durumu anlattığı için yanıt E.

Bir noun clause tümce. Ana yüklem simple past olduğu için boşluğa gelecek yüklemin

zorunluluk durumu da D seçeneğinde var.
25. He concluded his paper by saying that the entire history of the human race had been
marked by transfers of cultural and technological advance from one civilization to
another.
Tümce bir noun clause. İlk boşluğa past tense bir yüklem gelirse, ikinci boşluk da past
olmalı. "Entire history of human race" henüz sona ermediğine göre, bu kişi şu an
konuşuyor olsa "Entire history of human race has been marked by ..." derdi. A
seçeneği, bu tümcenin aktarım (= reported) hali.
26. The advance in the steel industry has been marked by a progressive increase in size,
complexity and capital outlay.
Tümcenin yüklemi edilgen. Bu durumda ilk aranacak sözcük by olmalı. Yanıt D.
increase + in yapısı 6. soruda da geçmekte.
27. The answer to the question whether great art can exist independently of religion will,
to a large extent depends on society's moral and aesthetic values.
Tümcenin ana yüklemi depends on. "The answer to the question" bölümünden sonra
gelen bölümün, bu sorunun ne olduğunu açıklaması gerekir. Bu durumda da ilk
boşluğa gelecek sözcük bir soru sözcüğü olmalı. Bir tek A (what) ve C (whether) soru
sözcükleri taşımakta. Bunun ardından anlam açısından bir niceleme yapılması
gerekir. Yanıt C.
28. Thailand has lost half of its forests as its population has more than doubled in recent
decades.
İlk boşluktan sonra bir tümce gelmekte. Bu durumda C ve E elenir (so as + to,
because of + noun/-ing). D seçeneği anlamsal olarak yanlış, bir koşul durumu yok. En
yakın çeldirici olan B seçeneği tümceye yerleştirilirse ikinci boşluğa gelen mostly
sözcüğü ile doubled sözcüğü uyuşmamakta, çünkü mostly = often. Yanıt A. (as =
because / when)
29. Holding a yellow umbrella in his hand he said he didn't know whose it was, and added
that it was not his .
Şemsiyenin sahibi soruşturuluyor. Yanıt B.

amendments in the legislation concerning industrial relations.
too + adj./adv. + to + V. Yanıt E.
31. Activists are these in a political movement who insist on taking active steps towards
their objectives, rather than merely putting forward an action programme.
Seçenekleri eleyerek gitmek en iyisi. Boşluktan sonra Ving gelmekte; burada insist on
taking .... (insist on) putting yapısı mevcut. A seçeneğinde to + V gerekir. C
seçeneğinde as far as + tümce. D seçeneğinde in that + tümce. E seçeneğinde so
long as + tümce. Yanıt B.
32. If our d
elegates hadn't shown themselves willing to come to terms, those from other countries
wouldn't have, either.
Third condition. Yan tümcenin yüklemi olumsuz olduğu için en yakın çeldirici olan E
seçeneğindeki too yanlış. Yanıt B.

Her ne kadar used to ile doğrudan bir ilgisi olmasa da, karışıklığa neden olabildiği için be used to ve
get used to yapılarına da değinmek yerinde olacaktır. Be used to "alışkın olmak", get used to ise
"alışkanlığı kazanmak" anlamlarını taşırlar ve modal verb özellikleri yoktur.
"Your neighbours upstairs are making a lot of noise." "I'm used to it."
When I first moved to Ankara, life was difficult. Then I got used to living here.
A. having slept
B. sleeping
C. to have slept
D. to sleep

Bazen, use eyleminin edilgen yapıda kullanımı (This is a tool [which is] used to cut glass) used to
olarak algılanmakta ve hata yapılmakta:
2.15. will
a) Geleceğe yönelik durum, eylem
b) Rica, istek
2.16. would
a) Geçmişte alışkanlık. Used to yapısından farkı, bu alışkanlığın bitmiş olmasının gerekmemesidir.
He would drink a glass of wine after dinner. / Akşam yemeğinden sonra bir bardak
şarap içerdi.
b) Rica, istek

BASİT TÜMCE
1. TÜMCE
Normal koşullarda (yani, devrik yapı vs. bulunmayan durumlarda) en yalın şekli ile tümce iki unsurdan
oluşur:
ÖZNE + YÜKLEM
Mehmet öğretti.
İngilizce bir basit tümcede de, nesne bulunmadığı durumlarda, bir farklılık görülmez.
SUBJECT + VERB
Mehmet taught
ÖZNE + YÜKLEM
Mehmet geldi.
SUBJECT + VERB
Bu tümcelere yer, zaman ve durum belirten sözcük ve yapıların da eklenmesi durumunda her iki dil
arasındaki yapısal farklılıklar iyice belirginleşecektir.
Basit tümcelerin yapısı konusu çeviri açısından - kolay göründüğü için - önemsenmeyebilir. Ancak,
yapısının, karmaşık tümcelerin çevirisini yaparken sürekli göz önünde tutulması gerekecektir. Bu konu
ileri konularda ayrıntılı olarak ele alınmakta.
SUBORDINATION
1. TANIM
İngilizcede ve Türkçede tümceler birbirlerine basit bağlaçlarla bağlanabildikleri gibi, çeşitli tamlamalar
yapılarak da bağlanabilirler. Bu yapılar İngilizcede Clause Sentence, Super Structure gibi adlar alır.
Ana fikri taşıyan ve mutlaka tam bir yargı oluşturan tümceye "Baş / Ana Tümce" (= Main Clause), her
türden diğer bileşene ise "İkincil / Yan Tümce" (= Secondary / Subordinate Clause) denilmektedir.
2. ÇEVİRİ İŞLEMİ
Tümce içindeki görevleri "özne" [1] ya da "nesne" [2] yerine geçmek olduğunda ikincil tümceler basit
tümce yapısının özne ya da nesneleri olarak kabul edilebilir ve Türkçeye rahatlıkla aktarılabilirler.
Relative Clause ve Noun Clause bu tür yapılardır.
The sentence (that) I am reading is a complex clause sentence. [1] (Relative Clause)
They say that it is easy to make a noun clause. [2] (Noun Clause)
Comparison Clause ve Adverbial Clause yapılarda ise bir tümcecik / yan tümce + ana tümce durumu
söz konusudur ve çeviri işlemini de buna göre yapmak gerekecektir. Bu durum biri Noun Clause [1]
diğeri ise Adverbial Clause [2] olan iki tümcenin çevirisi ile açıklanırsa:
Tom claims that the a child stole his vallet. [1]
tümcesinde,
Tom claims (that) a child stole his vallet.
şeklinde bir yapı mevcuttur.
şeklinde olacaktır.
RELATIVE CLAUSE
1. TANIM
Relative Clause yapı bir ad ve o adı niteleyip ada genelde who, which, that, where, .. gibi sözcüklerle
bağlanan bir nitelikten oluşur:
2.1. who/which/that
Nesne adları için which ya da that kullanılır.
Peter does not know the name of the man ..... borrowed his
bicycle yesterday.
A. whose
B. which
C. whom
D. who
E. of whom
Bağlayan sözcüğün (who, which, ..) hemen arkasından bir yüklem gelmesi durumunda bağlayan
sözcüğün kullanılması zorunludur.
The car which was parked there was towed away.
Bağlayan sözcüğün (who, which, ..) hemen arkasından bir yüklem gelmemesi durumunda (ad +
[who/which/..] + ad/adıl) bağlayan sözcüğün kullanılması zorunlu değildir.
Ad + Ad
İngilizcede kimi yüklemler ve sıfatlar bir preposition ile birlikte kullanılırlar (look at, listen to gibi). Bir
Relative Clause yapıda bu türden bir preposition olması durumunda yüklem ya da sıfata ait
preposition who / which sözcüğünün hemen önüne alınabilir.
A. in which
B. with which
C. which
D. whose
E. that
Bu yapıda prepositiondan sonra kesinlikle that kullanılamaz. Who yerine de whom kullanılır.
All that ... yapısında "-En/DIğI herşey" anlamı vardır. Dikkat edilmesi gereken nokta, kimi zaman iki
yüklemin birbiri ardına gelmesidir.
None /All / .. (of) those / the people /.. .. who /whom /.. yapısı "-EnlErIn tümü / hepsi / .." anlamını taşır.
anything / nothing /.. to + yüklem yapısı aslında anything / nothing /.. which someone can / will / .. +
yüklem yapısıdır.
Relative Clause yapılarda what sözcüğü de - the thing which anlamında - kullanılabilir.
The gained first position in what is the most important competition of the year.
A. who
B. that
C. of whom
D. which
E. whose
* The boy bringing the milk has been sick in bed for some time,
tümcesi yanlıştır. Buradaki mantıksızlık, oğlanın hem sütü getiriyor olması (The boy [who is ] bringing)
hem de bir süredir hasta yatıyor olmasıdır. Bu tümce,
The boy who brings the milk has been ill for some time,
şeklinde düzeltilebilir.
A. live
B. lived
C. living
D. have lived
E. have to live
The purse (which was) lost has not been found yet.
A. to wound
B. wounded
C. wounding
D. who wounded
E. whose wound
Relative Clause özelliği taşıyan cleft tümce, vurguyu sağlamanın bir diğer yoludur. İki tür cleft
tümceden söz edilebilir.
a) It is/was/.. who/that..
A. that
B. when
C. where
D. which
E. whom
A. that
B. which
C. of whom
D. who
E. whose
A. that
B. when
C. where
D. which
E. whom
A. his
B. those
C. which
D. whom
E. whose
Sentential Relative Clause yapıda ise tamlanan virgülden önceki tümcenin tümüdür.
Around 40,000 people bought tickets for the stadium concert, which was more than
was expected.
The rain has finally stopped, ..... is to say that we can go out
now.
A. that
B. which
C. what
D. this
E. for which
NOUN CLAUSE
1. TANIM
Noun Clause bir tür basit tümce olarak ele alınabilir ve çeviri işlemi de buna göre yapılabilir. Tümce ne
kadar karmaşık yapıda gözükürse gözüksün, aşağıdaki bölümlerde yer alan örnek tümcelerden de
anlaşılacağı gibi, aslında bir S+V+(O) yapısı bulunmaktadır ve bu yapı Türkçeye Ö+(N)+Y şeklinde
aktarılır.
Zaman uyumu:
Ana tümce - Present / Future ise Yan tümce -
Present / Future / Past
2. THAT CLAUSE
Before the start of the final test, we told the students .....
dictionaries or grammar books.
A. didn't use
B. don't use
C. not to have used
D. not to use
E. not using
2.2. be + that
Be yükleminin ardından, öznenin niteliğini açıklamak için that ile bağlanan bölüm kullanılabilir.
A. as
B. how
C. that
D. when
E. why
türü bir tümce çeviri açısından sorun oluşturabilmektedir. Bunun nedeni de tümcenin başındaki That
sözcüğüne aldanılıp "Bu ..." ile çeviriye başlanmasıdır. Böyle bir çeviri, yukarıdaki örnek tümce
açısından, iki yönden yanlıştır.
Birincisi, That sözcüğü that book / pen / man gibi yapılarda olduğu gibi kendisinden sonra gelen adı
niteliyor olsa, bu durumda örnek tümcedeki the sözcüğünün kullanılmaması gerekirdi. İkincisi, tümce
"Bu" sözcüğü ile başlanarak aktarılacak ise bu durumda tümce incelendiğinde,
durumu ortaya çıkacaktır. Yani tümcenin sonunda yer alan is obvious bölümü ortada kalacaktır.
Bu tür tümceler
That the budget deficit will increase is obvious (S( THAT +S+V+O) + V + O)
yapısı taşımaktadır ve tümcenin başındaki That Türkçeye "yüklem + -DIğI / -EcEğI" şeklinde aktarılır.
That ile başlayan tümceler It ... that ... yapısı ile de oluşturulabilir.
3. WH CLAUSE
Who(m/se), which, where, when, why, how (much / many / far / tall / .. ) gibi yapıların kullanıldığı
tümcelerdir.
A. We were puzzled
B. They didn't assume
C. I don't see
D. It has already been
E. They had been denied
3.3. be + WH
Be yükleminin ardından, öznenin niteliğini açıklamak için WH ile bağlanan bölüm kullanılabilir.
3.4. realise/see/.. + WH
Bu yapıda notice, realise, understand, see, hear, imagine gibi yüklemlerin ardından WH ile başlayarak
bu yüklemin nitelediği unsur anlatılmaktadır. Çeviri ya da kullanım açısından diğer Noun Clause
yapılardan bir farklılığı yoktur.
3.5. Ad, WH
Your question, why Max didn't tell it, is interesting.
3.6. WH + to
WH sözcüğünü izleyen bölümde should ya da ought to kullanılması durumunda bu yapı,
WH + to
olarak kısaltılabilir.
It is surprising ......
4. YES/NO CLAUSE
4.2. whether to
Whether sözcüğünü izleyen bölümde should ya da ought to kullanılması durumunda bu yapı,
whether to
olarak kısaltılabilir.
The boss doesn't know whether he should believe his excuse / to believe his excuse
You have yet to answer my question, whether I can count on your vote.
Bu yapı kimi zaman iki ayrı anlam taşıyabilir ve doğru anlamın çıkarılması için tümcenin geçtiği metnin
içeriğine bakılması gerekebilir.
6. INFINITIVE CLAUSE
Türkçeye "yüklem + -mEk" şeklinde aktarılabilir.
6.1. Ad, to ..
Your ambition, to become a lawyer, requires hard work.
It is natural for them to be together / that they are together / that they should be
together.
It would be unwise for you to marry her / if you were to marry her.
6.2. Noun Clause Benzeri Diğer yapılar
6.2.1. To ..
To join the army was his only dream.
6.2.2. To ..+ be + to ..
To challenge him is to risk your life.
6.2.3. .. nesne + to

7. -ING CLAUSE
Türkçeye "yüklem + -mEk" şeklinde aktarılabilir.
7.2.1. Ving ..
Watching TV has been his only enjoyment.
7.2.2. be + Ving
His first job had been selling computers. (S +V + O(-ING+O)) / İlk işi bilgisayar satmak
olmuştu.
7.2.3. .. my/his/..(=Possessive) + Ving

get + nesne + V3
make + nesne + V
A. open
B. to open
C. opening
D. to be opening
E. opened
A. getting/agree
B. having got/agreed
C. to have got/being agreed
D. to get/agreed

A. leave
B. leaving
C. left
D. to have left
E. to leave
A. being insured
B. insure
C. insured
D. to be insured
E. to insure
İngilizce ettirgen yapıların çevirisi esnasında sorun oluşturmasa da, yanlışlıkla eklenecek bir "t" harfi
yanlış anlam ile sonuçlanabilmektedir. Yani, hatalı olarak "yüklem + -DIrmEk" yerine "yüklem + -
DIrtmEk" yapısının kullanılması. İkinci yapının doğru olarak kullanılması aşağıdaki örnekte açıklandığı
şekilde olmalıdır.
Will you please get the vacuum cleaner ..... while I'm away?
A. repair
B. to repair
C. to be repairing
D. repaired
E. to have repaired
A. having used
B. to have used
C. to use
D. use
E. using

C. the most
D. so
E. as
Dikkat:
A. as beautiful
B. beautiful enough
C. so beautiful
D. the more beautiful

C. more / than

Ad, sayılabilen ve sayılamayan olarak sınıflandırılabilir:

Kullanan kişinin eylem üzerinde bir denetimi yoksa aşağıdaki yapı da kullanılabilir.
baby clothes
a dog kennel

Of all the people applied, I was found suitable for the post. (= Among all the people
who applied ...)
Bu yapıda, aslında, Türkçeye aktarım esnasında yapılması gereken şey yapıdaki adı, kendisinden
önce gelen ve nitelik / nicelik belirten sözcüğü de gözönünde bulundurarak, sıfat haline getirmektir.
Yani,
It is of no use to ...
yapısı
It is useless to .. (be + of = have)
şeklinde, ya da
This is of great importance
tümcesi
This is very important
şeklinde ele alınmalı ve sonra Türkçeye aktarılmalıdır.
All yerine every kullanılabilir. Ancak, all of yerine every one of gelir.
both of + us/you/them
both + ad
each + tekil ad
each of us/you/them
either + tekil ad
either of + us/you/them
neither + tekil ad
neither of + us/you/them
Neither of us knows the correct answer.
f) none (= hiçbiri)
none of us/you/them
YÜKLEM + YÜKLEM
İngilizce tümce oluştururken unutulmaması gereken bir kural, prepositionu izleyen yüklemin her
zaman mutlaka Ving formu taşıyacağıdır. Yani,
A. to listen
B. listen
C. listening
D. listened
E. to have listened
Ancak, örneğin
I want to go
tümcesinde to sözcüğünün ardından Ving kullanılmamaktadır. Bunun nedeni to sözcüğünün want
yüklemine ait, bu yüklemle her zaman kullanılan bir preposition olmamasıdır.
3. YÜKLEM + YÜKLEM
Bir yüklem diğerine çeşitli yollarla bağlanabilir.
A. being told
B. having told
C. to have told
D. to tell
E. to telling
A. having taken
B. taken
C. to have taken
D. to take
E. to taking

put it back.
1.1. Present
Bu yapıda passive + to + yüklem
ya da yüklem + to + passive
kullanılmaktadır.
1.2. Continuous
Progressive infinitive olarak bilinen yapı to be + Ving ile oluşturulur ve etken yapıda da kullanılabilir.
1.3. Past/Perfect
Perfect Infinitive olarak bilinen yapı to have + V3 şeklinde oluşturulur.
ya da to have been + V3
kullanılabilir.
2. BE +TO
2.2. be + to
3. ad + to + yüklem
He was to have been the new ambassador but he fell ill.
6. do + (to) + yüklem
All I did was to lend him a hand.
tümcelerinden her birinde "teklifin onlar tarafından reddedilmesi" olayı konuşan kişiyi şaşırtmıştır. Kimi
zaman, tepkiyi anlatan yapı tümcenin dışına çıkarılabilmektedir. Bu durumda da
To my surprise, they rejected the offer
şeklinde bir tümce ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu yapıda en sık
regret, annoyance, relief, surprise, horror, delight
ad ve sıfatları ve bunların yakın anlamlarını taşıyan ad ve sıfatlar kullanılır.
8. be + sıfat + to + yüklem
He is hard to satisfy. (= It is hard to satisfy him.)
GERUND (= VING)
1. instead of + Ving
Instead of studying, he spent the night watching TV.
2. without + Ving
Without saying a word, he left.
3. by + - Ving
You can open the lid by turning the handle.
1. Giriş
Infinitive ve gerund yapıların diğer kullanımları yukarıda ayrı ayrı başlıklar altında ele alınmaktadır.
2. Kullanım
Genel bir eylemden sözedildiğinde de gerund özne olarak kullanılabilir. Yine de en iyisi, infinitive
yapıda da olduğu gibi, It ... kullanmaktır.
IT
1. Tanım
Tümcenin öznesi bir infinitive clause
It + be + sıfat + to + V
2. Kullanım
b) Zorluk belirtmede
c) Olasılık belirtmede
Is it possible to go by road ?
d) Fayda belirtmede
f) Süre belirtmede
It takes eight hours to get to Istanbul.
h) Gerçeği belirtmede
i) Uygunluk belirtmede
m) Çeşitli kullanımlar
A) It + for + ad + to + yüklem
B) It + Ving
SHOULD
Should yardımcı yüklemi "gereklilik" belirtmesinin yanısıra bazı yapılarda bunun dışında anlamlar
üstlenmektedir. Bu bölümde ele alınan yapıların hiçbirinde, görüleceği gibi, Putative - Tentative should
yardımcı yüklemi "gereklilik" anlamını taşımamaktadır.
Bu kullanımda should yerine could/would gibi yardımcı yüklemler de kullanılabilir. Çeviri açısından,
could kullanıldığında "-EbIl" takısının eklenmesi dışında, hiçbir değişiklik oluşmaz.
agree, demand, marvel, regret, advise, desire, move, rejoice, allow, determine, ordain,
request, arrange, enjoin, order, require, ask, ensure, pledge, resolve, beg, entreat,
play, rule, command, grant, prefer, stipulate, concede, insist, pronounce, suggest,
decide, instruct, propose, urge, decree, intend, recommend, vote, wonder
yüklemleri ve
absurd, better, just, ridiculous, advisable, concerned, ludicrous, right, amazing, eager,
natural, strange, annoying, essential, necessary, surprising, anxious, important, odd,
vital
sıfatları ile noun clause yapıda kullanılır. Kimi zaman, aşağıda verilen üçüncü örnek tümcede olduğu
gibi, should atılır ve yüklem yalın kalır. Çeviri açısından should sözcüğünün olması ya da olmaması bir
değişiklik getirmez.
He insisted that the contract should be read aloud.
People are demanding that she leave (Amerikan İngilizcesi) the company.

1. Tanım
Tümce içindeki normal yapının (S+V+O) vurgu sağlamak amacı değiştirilmesidir. Bu yapıda ya
yardımcı yüklem [1] (asıl yüklemin be olması durumunda yüklemin kendisi [2]) ya da özneyi niteleyen
sıfat [3] öznenin önünde yer almaktadır.

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged 23, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car
yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the
only escape way - through the boot.
Mr. Johnson's car had fallen into a dike at Romney Marsh, Kent, after skidding on ice.
"Fortunately, water began to come in very slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn't open
the doors because they were touching the banks of the dike, and I didn't open the
windows because I knew water would come in."
Mr. Johnson, a sweets salesman, of Holy Bank Hill, London Road, Kent, first tried to
attract the attention of the other motorists by using the horn and hitting on the roof and
the boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, " It was really a half penny which helped me. It was the only coin I had
in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. While I
worked on the screws I could feel the water collecting underneath me on the roof. I hit
again and again trying to make someone hear, but no help came.
It took another ten minutes to unscrew the seat - and a further five minutes to clear
the sweet samples from the boot. Then, he found a wrench to open the boot lock.
Fifteen more minutes ebbed away. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but
as soon as I moved the lid the water and mud gushed in. I pushed the lid down into
the mud and went out.
His hands and arms cut and bruised, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett farm nearby where
he was looked after by the farmer's wife Lucy Bates. Huddled in a heavy coat, he
said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours." "Only the tips of the car wheels were
visible," police said last night. The car had sunk into three feet of mud at the bottom of

1. Surveys show that not all of the reasons for becoming an airline hostess are based on sound
thinking. One of the superficial reasons is advice by relatives, teachers, and friends; a second,
the belief that the life of an airline hostess is filled with adventure.
2. Dogs are still No. 1 when it comes to biting people in New York, but people are No. 2. The
Health Department's annual survey reported that dogs bit humans 9,809 times during 1985
while humans bit each other 1,591 times. That, at least, is how many bites were serious
enough for doctors to report them to the city, said Martin McGinley, a spokesman. The report
said that while dogs more reported bites than any other animal last year, the total still was
down 8 per cent from 1984. Human bites were down only slightly, however, from a 1984 total
of 1,593. Cats were third (879) bites, followed by wild rats (311) , squirrels (75) , and hamsters
(57).

4. We think of the United States as a rich and plentiful nation. It is; but it isn't self-sufficient. Our

American habit if we cut off our imports from Brazil.

For centuries man believed the Earth to be the centre of Creation. The true picture is
far more awe-inspiring.
We live on a small planet revolving round a star of only average size, which is itself
revolving, with thousands of millions of other stars, in one galaxy among millions in a
Universe that may well be boundless.
Scientific observation has so far probed only a fraction of it. Yet to travel to the
frontiers of that observed fraction, even at 186,300 miles per second (the speed of
light) would take 6,000 million years, about 20,000 times the total period that human
life is estimated to have existed on Earth.
The different bodies and structures in the universe, all of which appear to be receding
from us, range from single galaxies to mammoth clusters containing as many as 500
galaxies.
Although the cluster of galaxies to which our galaxy belongs is comparatively small (it
has only 25 members), our galaxy itself, the Milky Way System, ranks among the
larger of the known stellar systems. Counting its almost 100,000 million stars (of
which the Sun with its family of planets is one) at the rate of one star a second would
take about 2,500 years.

Both as a profession and as a science, economics lost considerable prestige during the
recession of 1974-75. The crisis that sized the western industrialized countries, including
Japan, was of a character not to be found in economics textbooks: rate of inflation exceeding
10% a year coupled with declining production, and high levels of unemployment. Hitherto,
peacetime inflation had been associated with high employment and overactive economy, while
high rates of unemployment went with the recession or depression. The next combination was
aptly called stagflation.
"Political crime" differs from ordinary crime only in the motivation, real or claimed, of the
criminal. A hold-up, a bank robbery, a burglary, drug running, kidnapping, or murder is no less
a crime for being politically motivated. In this context, terrorism may be defined as "motivated
violence for political ends"; this distinguishes terrorism both from vandalism and from crimes
of violence in which no political motivation is discerned. Political crime is thus a wider term
than terrorism, which is an extreme form of it. The relationship between the two is that between
the whole and the part.
All of us would agree that we know a number of different things. If challenged to give a
catalogue of what you know, you might say, for example, that you know the English and
French languages, how to swim, how to drive a car, how to analyze a chemical substance, that
you know a number different people, and so on. The list even in general terms like this would
be a very long one, and it would not be possible, for practical purposes, to set out such a
catalogue in detail. But one thing is obvious from the few examples I have given; the word
"know" is commonly used in many different senses.
The atom bomb, and still more the hydrogen bomb, have caused new fears, including new
doubts as to the effects of science on human life. Some eminent authorities, including
Einstein, have pointed out that there is a danger of extinction of all life on this planet. I do not
myself think that this will happen in the next war, but I think it may happen in the next but one,
if that is allowed to occur. If this expectation is correct, we have to choose, within the next fifty
years or so, between two alternatives. Either we must allow the human race to exterminate
itself, or we must forgo certain liberties which are very dear to us.
There are several points to remember when buying food. First of all, larger shops sell goods at
lower prices than smaller shops. As most people know, supermarkets often sell their own
brands of many products. "Own brands" are, on average, cheaper than the brands of leading
manufacturers. For example, on items such as peas, beans, soap and soap powder, own
brands can be up to 15 percent cheaper. On some lines, such as washing-up liquid, the
savings can be even greater. There is no reason to suppose that own brand ones inferior. They
are commonly produced in the same place as the branded products. Often the difference is the
packaging and the price.

DENEME SINAVLARI
Bu bölümde, KPDS'nin düzenine göre oluşturulmuş iki tane deneme sınavı yer almakta. Sınavları
KPDS'de toplam olarak 3 saat süre verildiğini göz önünde bulundurarak ele alın. Bu bölümdeki
üçüncü, “öylesine” deneme sınavı ise sürekli deneme sınavı çözmekten bıkan öğrencilerim için
biraz da eğlenmek amacıyla hazırladığım bir çalışma. Ancak, dikkatli olun! Öğrencilerim bu sınavı en
az diğerleri kadar zor buldular.
Sözcük Bilgisi
• Soru tümcesini dikkatli bir şekilde okuyun.
• Soru tümcesinde geçen ve anlamını bilmediğiniz sözcüklerle aşırı zaman harcamayın. Bazen
bu sözcükler fazlaca bir önem taşımayabilir.
• Yanıtı bildiğinizi düşünseniz bile tüm seçenekleri okuyun. Seçeneklerden biri, sizin
düşündüğünüz sözcükten çok daha uygun olabilir.
A) restrained
B) admirable
C) impartial
D) disappointed
E) relieved

Bağlam: Sözcük bilgisinin yanısıra bağlam çok büyük yardım sağlayabilmekte. Sözcüğün
içinde geçtiği tümcenin tümünün incelenmesi, ipuçları sağlayacaktır. Bu ipuçları şu bilgileri
verebilir:
The extensive ________ over the past years have caused widespread famine in
central Asia.
A) precipitation
B) snow
C) droughts
D) wet seasons
E) winds
Bu soruda bağlamın çözülmesi, FAMINE sözcüğünün anlamını bilip bilmemekte
yatmakta. Eğer bu sözcüğün anlamını bilmiyorsanız, doğru yanıtı bulma şansınız
azalmakta. Bu durumda da, CENTRAL ASIA hiç değilse seçenekleri elemenize
yardımcı olabilir. Orta Asya'nın coğrafya koşullarını göz önünde bulundurarak, en
azından (D) ve belki (B) seçeneğini hemen eleyebilirsiniz.
Bu soruda, her zaman rastlanamayacak bir dilbilgisi desteği de yer almakta. Sorunun
a ve b seçeneklerinde sayılamayan (=uncountable) ad kullanılmakta. Tümcenin
yüklemi ise have, yani çoğul ad ile kullanılan bir yüklemdir. Bu iki seçenek derhal
elenebilir.
A) considers
B) insists
C) decides
D) thinks
E) succeeds
Tümcede boşluğa gelmesi gereken yüklem on ile kullanılmaktadır. Seçenekler içinde
sadece (b) ve (c) on ile kullanılabilir. Anlam olarak da (b) en uygun seçenektir.
Sözcüğün yapısı: Yine bağlamdan yola çıkarak, boşluk için gereken sözcüğün olumlu bir
anlamı mı yoksa olumsuz bir anlamı mı yansıtması gerektiğine karar verdikten sonra - var ise -
sözcüklerdeki ön ve art takkıları inceleyin.
Sözcüğün yapısı ile ilgili diğer ipuçları: Bazı ad, sıfat ve yüklemlerin birlikte kullanıldıkları
belirli preposition'lar yukarıdaki örnek soruda olduğu gibi soru tümcesinin kendinde olabileceği
gibi, seçeneklerde de olabilir. Buna göre belirli seçenekler ön plana çıkarılabilir ya da
elenebilir. Bu ipucu ile ilgili açıklamalar aşağıdaki kısımda da karşınıza çıkmakta.
A) to
B) from
C) over
D) for
E) on
(e) PRONOUN

A) Ours/your
B) Hers/his
C) Her/mine

3. Genel Notlar
Sınav öncesinde sözcük çalışmak ve dosyalamak için çeşitli sistemler önerilmekte. Dil öğrenenlerin
bazıları bir yanında yabancı sözcük, diğer yanında da Türkçe anlamı yazılı olan kartlar
oluşturmaktadır. Bazıları da yanlarında sürekli sözlük taşımayı tercih etmekte. Özellikle elektronik cep
sözlüklerinin yaygınlaştığı günümüzde sürekli sözlük taşımak kolaylaşmakta ise de, sözcüklerin
öğrenebilmesi için iyi bir sözcük dosyalama sisteminin aşağıdaki özellikleri taşıması gerekir.
Aşağıda verilen kart örneği bir model teşkil edebilir. Örnek olarak "date" sözcüğü alındı.
Sözcük Türü Eş anlam Karşıt anlam
Anlam(lar)ı ve kullanımı
(1) tarih

anlam değişikliğine uğramış, ya da birden çok farklı anlamı olan sözcüklere dikkat edin. Bunların en
tipik olanlarına örnek vermek gerekirse:
Longman Lexicon of Contemporary English (McArthur, 1991) başlıklı çalışmanın sözcük derleme

katıldığında bu sayı daha da artmaktadır. Elbette, bütün bu sözcükleri öğrenmeniz ya da ezberlemeniz
olanaksız; zaten amaç da alıştırmalar yolu ile pekiştirme sağlayarak olabildiğince fazla sayıda

YANITLAR
1. The recent economic figures imply that the country is slowly coming out of the
crisis.
Zor bir soru. Ne sorunun kökü ne de seçenekler yanıt konusunda bir ipucu
sağlamamakta. Sözcüklerin hemen hemen tümünün anlamını bilmeniz gerektiği için
cevabınız yanlış ise fazla üzülmeyin. Yanıt B. imply = suggest; hint
2. The assassination by terrorists of Signor Aldo Moro, five times prime Minister
of Italy, in May 1978 was comdemned by everyone as an act of barbarism.
Zor bir soru. Yine de soru kökü ne tür bir sözcük aranması konusunda bir parça ipucu
vermekte. Assassination, terrorists, barbarism gibi sözcükler göstermekte ki boşluğa
olumsuzluk taşıyan bir sözcük gelecek. Bu durumda beş seçenek içinde nispeten
daha bilinen sözcükler olan appeal ve applauded sözcüklerinin elenebilmesi gerekir.
Gerisi şansınıza kalmış. Yanıt D. condemn= lanetlemek
3. When the rate of exchange began to rise again, he felt obliged to call a meeting of
the financial staff.
Yan tümcede olumsuz bir ortam verilmekte: the rate of exchange began to rise again.
Bu durumda da bir "call a meeting of the financial staff" durumu söz konusu. Yani,
soru kökü birbirine bağlı iki durum hakkında yeterli bilgi vermekte. Sorudaki en önemli
ipucu ise boşluktan hemen sonra gelen to sözcüğü. Hemen arkasından bir eylem
(call) gelmekte ve bu tümcenin zaten bir yüklemi (felt) bulunmakta. Bu kişi insanları
toplantıya çağırmaya (kendisini) NE hissetti? Yanıt A. obliged (to alır) = zorunlu ... 5.
soru buna benzer bir soru.
4. The United States has long prided itself on being a melting pot of culturally
diverse peoples.
Tümcenin yüklemi prided. ABD'nin gurur duyduğu şey, "culturally ... peoples" için bir
melting pot olması. Bu soruda önemli olan şey, bu halkların (insanlar değil. "Peoples"
halklar demektir) ne tür bir nitelik taşıdığı ve ABD'nin bundan gurur duyduğu. Gurur
duyulacak şeyin olumlu yanı olması gerekir. Bu durumda da olumsuz anlam taşıyan
sözcükler elenebilir. Örneğin, incoherent. Buna, ne olumlu ne de olumsuz bir anlam
taşımayan entire sözcüğü de eklenebilir. Daha önce karşılaştığınızı umduğum (çok sık
geçen bir sözcük) redundant sözcüğü de olumsuz anlam taşımakta. Yazı gelirse A,
tura gelirse E. Yazı. diverse = different, various
5. As a result of the continuing economic recession, a huge deficit in the budget
seems inevitable.
3. soruya benzeyen bir soru. Yine ekonominin durumu kötü. Bu durumda budget
içinde büyük .... gerek. Budget sözcüğünün anlamını hatırlıyorsanız, cevabı bulmuş
olmanız gerekir. Bilmiyor olsanız bile, bu kadar olumsuzlukla (economic recession,
inevitable) dolu bir tümcede olsa olsa olumsuzluk istenir mantığı ile yola çıkabilir ve
seçenekler içindeki tüm olumlu sözcükleri eleyebilirsiniz. Derhal elenmesi gereken iki
seçenek B ve C. A seçeneğindeki sözcük 4. soruda B seçeneğinde kullanılan
redundant sözcüğünün ad hali. 4. soruda bu sözcüğün de olumsuz olduğu
söylenmekte. Geriye D ve E kalmakta. Yanıt E. deficit = açık (bütçe için kullanılmakta)
6. He devised an ingenious scheme whereby the rate of unemployment could be
brought down sharply.
Tümcedeki whereby sözcüğü dilbilgisi açıklamalarında, relative clause başlığı altında
geçmekte ve through which (= ki onun yoluyla, onun sayesinde) anlamını taşımakta.
Ana tümcede sözü edilen scheme işsizlik oranını aşağı çekebilecek güçte olduğuna
göre, olumlu nitelikler taşımalı. İlk bakışta seçeneklerin tümü de olumsuz öntakı
taşıyor gibi. Ama tek tek inceler ve elemenizi ona göre yaparsanız, C seçeneğinin
geriye kalması gerekir. Eğer bu türden öntakılar sizi yanıltmakta ise, dilbilgisi notları
içinde Ön ve Arttakılar konusunu inceleyin. ingenious = clever, intelligent
7. I was greatly impressed by the way the judge conducted the trial, especially
when it came to summing up the case.
Zor bir soru. Birinci tümce konuşan kişinin duygularını anlatmakta: impressed.
Ardından da ek bilgi sağlanmakta. Aslında soru bu kadarcık bilgiden oluşsa, cevabı
bulmak kolay olurdu. Ama ikinci tümcedeki when came to yapısı herşeyi karıştırmakta
çünkü söz konusu olduğunda anlamını taşımakta. Yanıt A. particularly = especially
8. As soon as the leak in the boiler was noticed, one of the engineers was
naturally sent for .
Fazla zor olmayan bir soru. Yan tümce olmasaydı bile, "one of the engineers was
naturally ... " bölümünün tamamlanabilmesi gerekir. Tümcede yüklem was olduğuna
ve tüm seçeneklerde de V3 kullanıldığına göre, edilgen (passive) bir yapı söz konusu.
Yan tümcedeki sözcükleri bilmediğinizi düşünsek bile, "Birşey farkedilir farkedilmez,
mühendislerden biri ...". Ve edilgen yüklem. Yanıt D.
take after = birisine çekmek. ("Ben babama çekmişim" gibi)
run down = ezmek, çiğnemek (araba vs. ile)
make out = anlamak, ayırdına varmak (genelde görsel açıdan); çözüm getirmek
turn up = çıkagelmek. En yakın çeldirici bu seçenek. Ama edilgen durumda anlamsız.
9. At the board meeting, his suggestion was cast aside as it seemed politically
controversial.
Tümcede öncelikle çözümlemeniz gereken iki sözcük var. Birincisi as, ikincisi it.
Aslında it sözcüğünü çözümlemek kolay, olsa olsa suggestion yerine kullanılıyordur.
"At the board meeting, his suggestion was ..." bölümü anlamlı bir tümce
oluşturduğuna göre de, as sözcüğü iki tümceyi birbirine bağlamakta. Ya when ya da
because anlamı taşıyabilir (dilbilgisi notlarında her iki kullanım da time clause ve
reason clause içinde var). Bu iki anlamdan hangisini taşıyor olursa olsun, öneri politik
açıdan controversial görülmüş. Contro/contra öntakısı Türkçeye de yerleşmeye

UNITED NATIONS
In one very long sentence, the introduction to the U.N. Charter expresses the ideals
and the common aims of all the peoples whose governments joined together to form
the U.N.
"We the peoples of the U.N. determined to save succeeding generations from
the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold suffering to
mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental rights, in the dignity and worth of
the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large
and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the
obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be
maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger
freedom, and for these ends, to practice tolerance and live together in peace
with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain
peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the
institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common
interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of economic
and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to
accomplish these aims."
The name United Nations is accredited to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and
the first group of representatives of member states met and signed a declaration of
common intent on New Year's Day in 1942. Representatives of five powers worked
together to draw up proposals, completed at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944. These
proposals, modified after deliberation at the conference on International Organization
in San Francisco which began in April 1945, were finally agreed on and signed as the
U.N. Charter by 50 countries on 26 June 1945. Poland, not represented at the
conference, signed the Charter later and was added to the list of original members. It
was not until that autumn, however, after the Charter had been ratified by China,
France, the U.S.S.R., the U.K. and the U.S. and by a majority of the other participants
that the U.N. officially came into existence. The date was 24 October, now universally
celebrated as United Nations day.
The essential functions of the U.N. are to maintain peace and security, to develop
friendly relations among nations, to cooperate internationally economic, social, cultural
and human problems, promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms
and to be centre for co-ordinating the actions of nations in attaining these common
ends.
No country takes precedence over another in the U.N. Each member's rights and
obligations are the same. All must contribute to the peaceful settlement of
international disputes, and members have pledged to refrain from the threat or use of
force against other states. Though the U.N. has no right to intervene any state's
internal affairs, it tries to ensure that non-member states act according to its principles
of international peace and security. UN members must offer every assistance in an
approved U.N. action and in no way assist states against which the U.N. is taking
preventive or enforcement action.

5. Probably the child first becomes aware of causality when he himself causes things to move by
pushing, pulling, and shaking them. Such movements occur at first by chance, and then the

three months that by kicking around in her cot she could make her dolls, which were
suspended from a framework above the cot, move to and fro.

11. It is not surprising to find that success or failure in a task has some effect on the performance
of that task itself, and may also affect tasks performed immediately afterwards.
12. Make-up does several things to the human face. It may disguise it or protect it from the sun; it
may make it look younger and healthier, or it may label it as belonging to a particular social
category.
13. A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proof-reading, in which the
reader, in order to detect misprints, has to notice not so much on the meaning of what he
reads as the exact shapes and order of letters and words in the text.
14. In any interaction which makes you anxious, you can learn to adjust your own body language
and feel more confident. Try to avoid wringing your hands, as this conveys nervousness, or
raising your forefinger when you speak because the implicit aggression will arouse an unco-
operative response.
15. Immunotoxins
The administration of active toxins to an animal or person will probably produce adverse side
effects because the poison kills normal cells as well. It would be a good idea if we could
modify the toxins so that they kill only cancer cells. One way is to attach these toxins to
substances called antibodies, which react specifically with tumour cells to produce
"immunotoxins". Antibodies are protein molecules produced by animals, in response to a
foreign substance, or antigen. Antibodies combine specifically with the substance that induced
their formation. In this case, specific active molecules on the surface of the cancer cells trigger
the formation of antibodies. Therefore, in theory, the immunotoxin will selectively seek out and
kill the tumour cell.

INFLATION
Inflation is a modern economic disease, which all consumers suffer from. When we
are told that we have got a pay rise, we are naturally pleased. Yet when we go to the
shops to buy things, we find that we cannot buy as much as we could a month ago.
How is this possible? The reason, of course, lies in the fact that prices are rising all
the time and we usually receive pay rises that are not as large as general price
increases. We find, furthermore, that the money we have carefully saved in the bank
cannot buy the house that we want because the price of the house has doubled.
It seems, in fact, that our wages have gone down although our employees have told
us they have increased. It is not surprising, then, that political parties win or lose
elections according to how well they persuade the people that inflation can be
controlled by their policies. It is only to be expected, therefore, that the ordinary voter
will support a government that promises to restore the value of money in the bank and
to make wage increases equal to the increase of prices in the shops. As a result of
this situation, we find governments being defeated by their economic policies. People
are impatient and prefer to vote for a new government rather than wait for old
economic policies to become effective: Unfortunately, promises about controlling
prices and wages are not generally kept because there is no simple cure for the
complex disease of inflation.

GROWING VEGETABLES
Much of the report is based on the experiences of our members - nearly 1,500 filled in
a mammoth questionnaire. We are very grateful indeed for the help they gave us. One
thing is clear from our members' experience: growing vegetables can be hard work.
Routine jobs like weeding and clearing take up a lot of time, quite apart from the
exhausting chore of digging. However, nearly all our vegetable-growing members
thought the results were definitely worth all the effort.

CHRISTMAS: MORE STUFFING?
Merry Christmas to you all... "Merry", as you may know, has two meanings: a) happy,
and b) drunk. If you're like a large number of British people, then your Christmas will
be an alcoholic, rather than a religious, occasion.
If you walk down Piccadily or Oxford Street just before Christmas, you will see an
incredible amount of money being spent on electronic games, bottles of spirits,
expensive clothes, LPs, cassettes, cameras, and large number of luxury items. If you
walk down the main street of several towns of the Third World just before Christmas,
you won't see large amount of money being spent on presents: in fact, you won't see
a large amount of money being spent on anything.
80% of all disease in the world is caused by bad water supply: for millions of people,
the perfect Christmas present would be a tap in the village square which would give
pure, clean water.
Do we think of these people when we sit down to our Christmas dinner? Of course not
- we're too busy thinking about the turkey, the roast potatoes, and the presents sitting
under the Christmas tree. The whole idea of Christmas now is completely unChristian
- I'm sure that Christ would be furious if he could see what sort of celebrations are
being carried out in his name.
So I'm against Christmas - I agree with Scrooge1 "It's all humbugg." If we're going to
continue this wasteful, thoughtless ceremony, then let's be truthful about it, and call it
"Stuff-Our-Faces Week", or "Stomach Week" - but let's get rid of the hypocritical
pretense that Christmas is "the season of the goodwill".

PACKAGING: THE INSANE WASTE OF MAKING THINGS TO BE THROWN
AWAY
To get a chocolate out of a box requires a considerable amount of unpacking: the box
has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrives; the cellophane wrapper has to
be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed; the chocolate
itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. But
this insane amount of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is now becoming
increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in cellophane, polythene, or
paper.
The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away
immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the
average London household each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the
cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling.
This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up
the environment.
Little research is being carried out on the costs of alternative types of packaging. Just
how is it possible, for instance, for local authorities to salvage paper, pulp it, and
recycle it as egg-boxes? Would it be cheaper to plant another forest? Paper is the
material most used for packaging - 20 million paper bags are apparently used in Great
Britain each day - but very little is salvaged.
Both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. The trouble
with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution
to the problem of ever-growing mounds of plastic containers is to do away with plastic
altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say
there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.
It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and re-use of various
materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to
producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, indeed to be used just once, is clearly
becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with
packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed is a more sophisticated approach to
using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.

SCHOOL AND CREATIVITY
Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he
"never went to school, and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely." There
is undoubtedly truth in Einstein's observation; many artists and geniuses seem to view
their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is
the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a
lonely individual whether his or her pioneering be in art, music, science, or technology.
The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James
described as the "faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way." Insofar as schools teach
perceptual patterns they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could
somehow exist solely to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the
social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits that are destructive
to creativity. There will always be conflict between the demands of society and the
impulses of creativity and genius.

SCORPION
Then one day I found a fat mother scorpion in the wall. She was wearing a fur coat. I
look more closely. It was really a mass of very small babies holding on to their
mother's back. I very much admired this family, and decided to take them secretly into
the house and up to my bedroom. I wanted to watch them while they grew up.
Carefully, I put the mother and family into a matchbox, and then ran to the villa.
Lunch was on the table. I put the matchbox carefully on a shelf in the sitting room and
went to the dining room and joined the family for the meal. I ate slowly, gave Roger
food secretly under the table and listened to the family. I completely forgot about my
exciting new pets. When Larry finished his meal, he took some cigarettes from the
sitting room. He sat back in his chair, put one in his mouth and picked up the
matchbox which he had brought. I watched him with interest. He was still talking when
he opened the matchbox.
Now I still say this: the mother scorpion did not want to hurt anyone. She was worried
and angry, so she took the first chance to escape. She climbed out of the box very
quickly. Her babies were still holding on when she climbed on to the back of Larry's
hand. There she was a bit uncertain, and she paused. Her sting was curved up at the
ready. When Larry felt the movement of her claws he looked down and saw her. Then
everything got confused. He screamed with fear and Lugaretzia dropped a plate.
Roger came out under the table and began to run wildly.
Larry shook his hand and the scorpion flew down the table. She fell between Margo
and Leslie and her babies went everywhere when she fell on to the table-cloth. She
was now very angry and ran towards Leslie. Leslie jumped to his feet, overturned his
chair, and hit the scorpion with his napkin. Mother put on her glasses and looked
down the table. At that moment Margo tried to stop the scorpion and threw a glass of
water at it. But, the shower hit mother, who immediately lost her breath and couldn't
speak. The scorpion was not behind Leslie's plate, but her babies were running all
over the plate. And, Roger, who wanted to help, was making angry noises and
running round the room.
"What's the problem ?" mother was asking while she tried to clean her glasses.
"It's that horrible boy ... he'll kill us all ... Look at the table ... knee-deep in
scorpions ..."
Naturally, Roger did not know what the problem was. He knew that the family was in
danger. He wanted to protect the family and, because Lugaretzia was the only
stranger in the room, he bit her on the leg.

LIE DETECTOR
On February morning in 1966 Cleve Backster made a discovery that changed his life
and could have far-reaching effects on ours. Backster was at that time an
interrogation specialist who left the CIA to operate a New York school for training
policemen in the techniques of using the polygraph, or "lie detector". This instrument
normally measures the electrical resistance of the human skin, but on that morning he
extended its possibilities. Immediately after watering an office plant, he wondered if it
would be possible to measure the rate at which water rose in the plant from the root to
the leaf by recording the increase in leaf-moisture content on a polygraph tape.
Backster placed the two pscyhogalvanic-reflex (PGR) electrodes on either side of a
leaf of Dracaena massangeana, a potted rubber plant, and balanced the leaf into the
circuitry before watering the plant again. There was no marked reaction to this
stimulus, so Backster decided to try what he calls "the threat-to-well-being principle, a
well-established method of triggering emotionality in humans." In other words he
decided to torture the plant. First he dipped one of its leaves into a cup of hot coffee,
but there was no reaction, so he decided to get a match and burn the leaf properly. "At
the instant of this decision, at 13 minutes and 55 seconds of chart time, there was a
dramatic change in the PGR tracing pattern in the form of an abrupt and prolonged
upward sweep of the recording pen. I had not moved, or touched the plant, so the
timing of the PGR pen activity suggested to me that the tracing might have been
triggered by the mere thought of the harm I intended to inflict on the plant."
Backster went on to explore the possibility of such perception in the plant by bringing
some live brine shrimp into his office and dropping them one by one into boiling water.
Every time he killed a shrimp, the polygraph recording needle attached to the plant
jumped violently. To eliminate the possibility of his own emotions producing this
reaction, he completely automated the whole experiment so that an electronic
randomizer chose odd moments to dump the shrimp into hot water when no human
was in the laboratory at all. The plant continued to respond in sympathy to the death
of every shrimp and failed to register any change when the machine dropped already
dead shrimp into the water.

CALCULATOR, CALENDAR AND CLOCK
Even the cheapest and least complicated digitals are minor miracles of modern
technology. They replace the traditional hands, springs and cogs with flickering digits
and electronic circuits.
Quartz, one of the world's most common minerals, lies at the heart of every digital
watch. Almost a century ago, scientists discovered that quartz crystals vibrate at an
absolute constant frequency when an electric current is passed through them. But
quartz watches did not become practical until miracles of miniaturisation were
developed to save weight and room in spacecraft. The typical watch crystal, powered
by a battery the size of a fingernail, vibrates 32,768 times every second. The
vibrations are fed into a tiny "chip" - little bigger than the end of a match - which is
crammed with more than a thousand transistors and other components. This
microscopic maze is watch's "brain" and can be designed to store a remarkable
amount of information. But its most important function is to keep dividing the vibrations
by two until the quartz is pulsing precisely once every second.
Battery, crystal and chip combine to produce remarkably accurate watches whose
time keeping rarely strays by more than one or two seconds each month. They also
tend to be very reliable, thanks to the absence of all the ticking machinery packed into
a conventional clockwork watch.
If you fancy a digital watch, ask yourself how many of the tricks it performs are likely
to be of genuine value. It makes no sense to spend extra money on what could
become gimmicks once the novelty has worn off.

THE SECRET FEW PEOPLE COULD GUESS
Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case. It is as vital to
her as her purse. Yet, she doesn't wear glasses. The reason she can't do without it is
because she can't read and she can't write. If ever she gets into any situation where
she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes in her bag for the specs
case, finds it empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her. Brenda
is now in her late thirties. She's capable and articulate and until a few months ago
hardly anybody knew she was illiterate. Her husband didn't know and her children
didn't know. Her children still don't.
She had any number of tactics for concealing her difficulty - for example, never
lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to
write something down. But, in fact, it is easier for illiterates to conceal the truth than
the rest of us might imagine. Literacy is taken so much for granted that people simply
don't spot the giveaway signs.
It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn't read
them stories, but then their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the
fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes sick notes and reads the
school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is a quite proficient reader, Brenda can
skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking,
"What's that all about, then?"
Brenda's husband never guessed the truth in 10 years of marriage. For one thing he
insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself. An importer of
Persian carpets, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the
truth. While he's away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't
do anything until she's discussed it with her husband.
Brenda was very successful in her job until very recently. For the last five years she
had worked as a waitress at an exclusive private club, and had eventually been
promoted to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the
practical difficulties somehow.

TINY BRAIN
The one thing that went to get talked about non-stop throughout mid 1990s is about
as big as this .
Not surprisingly, most non-scientists find that the effort of trying to grasp what a silicon
is turns out to be just as bewildering as the struggle to comprehend what a silicon chip
does.
Fifty years ago, the world's first electronic digital computers weighed about thirty tons
and filled a room. Today silicon chip equivalent weighs a fraction of gramme and
would disappear on your fingernail.
Once designed, a silicon chip can be ludicrously cheap to manufacture in bulk. That is
why everyone can now buy for peanuts such sophisticated gadgets as pocket
calculators or complex TV games. Desk-top computers are as familiar as desk-top
typewriters.
Not only is the silicon chip small and ever more inexpensive, it is also reliable and
immensely versatile. Already the world market is estimated at £3 billion a year. By the
mid-2000s, one chip-maker predicts, every person in the world may need to own at
least one microprocessing toy just to an outlet for the industry's burgeoning supply.
Such talk is typical of the increasingly extravagant claims being made on behalf of the
silicon chip. It has been called the most significant invention since wheel. A single chip
can far outstrip the mathematical speed and capacity of any man. Multi-chip
computers can perform a million error-free calculations in the time it takes to blink and
they're getting faster all the time. All that is holding them back is the speed at which
data can be programmed in, or applications for them found.
More and more small firms take advantage of small, purpose- programmed computers
to keep the books. Instrumentation on cars gets neater and more comprehensive.
Telephones have increased international capability, telephone and television-linked
information systems are more comprehensive and more wide-spread. Cameras get
smaller and more automated, fun toys like talking calculators and programmable video
gadgets fight for the home entertainment market. Money
continues to give way to computerised accounting and
debiting systems, all kinds of security systems are
rapidly advanced. Shops keep track of their stock with
micro-processing systems, all kinds of traffic control has
become more efficient, less energy is wasted by better power systems.
The previous century, in short, certainly saw a gathering pace in the applied use of
silicon ships but there is not the remotest chance that applications will keep pace with
theoretical development. The long-term effects of the micro-processing revolution are
incalculable - even for a silicon chip.
The most talked-about social implication is, of course, the effect of ever more
sophisticated automation on employment. Here, too, there has been a marked
tendency to take off into scare mongering with exaggerated claims that silicon chips
will cause overnight disruption, making millions redundant. A study by the UK Central
Policy Review Staff is characteristically sober: "Reports suggesting large-scale loss of
jobs from micro-processing applications overestimate the speed at which these
applications could be introduced and underestimate the new markets created in the
process."

LEARNING TO LIVE WITH THE COMPUTER
Most offices, by the very nature of their structure and function, are geared to stability
or slow change. Accelerated change of the kind that a computer brings is likely to
prove disrupting and disturbing. This is because people in stable organizations tend to
expect a steady continuation of existing arrangements, and because departments
unaccustomed to change frequently find they have become too inflexible to assimilate
it without stress. Social as well as technical factors are therefore highly relevant to a
successful adaptation to new techniques.
Research into the social and organizational problems of introducing computers into
offices has been in progress in the social science department in Liverpool University
for the past four years. It has been shown that many firms get into difficulties partly
because of lack of technical knowledge and experience, but also because they have
not been sufficiently aware of the need to understand and plan for the social as well
as the technical implications of change. In the firms that have been studied, change
has been seen simply as a technical problem to be handled by technologists. The fact
that the staff might regard the introduction of a computer as a threat to their security
and status has not been anticipated. Company directors have been surprised when,
instead of cooperation, they encountered anxiety and hostility.
Once the firm has signed the contract to purchase a computer, its next step, one
might expect, would be to "sell" the idea to its staff, by giving reassurances about
redundancy, and investigating how individual jobs will be affected so that displaced
staff can be prepared for a move elsewhere. In fact, this may not happen. It is more
usual for the firm to spend much time and energy investigating the technical aspects
of the computer , yet largely to ignore the possibility of personnel difficulties.
This neglect is due to the absence from most firms of anyone knowledgeable about
human relations. The personnel manager, who might be expected to have some
understanding of employee motivation, is in many cases not even involved in the
changeover.

THEY HAVE YOU TAPED - AND THERE AREN'T ENOUGH SAFEGUARDS
First, data can be stored which is inaccurate, incomplete or irrelevant, and yet can be
used as the basis for important decisions affecting people's lives.
Second, people may have no idea of the information kept on them, have no way of
finding out, and no opportunity to correct mistakes. Third, there is the possibility that
the information can fall into unauthorized hands, who could use it for all sorts of
hostile, even criminal, purposes. Fourth, the information could be used for a purpose
other than that for which it was gathered. Fifth, because computer systems can now
communicate with each other easily and speedily, the possibility is increased that
comprehensive Big Brother1 files will be compiled on private citizens.
From birth to death, every individual will regularly find something appearing about him
in some file or other. Estimates of how many different files are kept on the average
individual range from 15 to 50. Some may be thought trivial in themselves - though
even library computers can now reveal that a reader took out a book on guerrilla
warfare and another on Marxist ideology. Credit card files might disclose an
inappropriate spending pattern. The Vehicle Licencing Department keeps tabs on
every driver's change of address, and their computer is available to the police. The list
of information kept on the individual - his health, income, social security poosition,
details of property, his car, his job, and so on - goes on.
Of course, for those who have been in trouble with the police, or been members of an
"undesirable" political group, even though they have done nothing illegal, the
information kept on them multiplies. More and more of all this information has been
removed from the old-fashioned filing cabinet and is being put into computers.
The need for safeguards is not limited to personal information. Business, too, needs
protection. If a company's list of customers, or its pricing or production formulae, got
into the hands of the competitors, the result could be financial ruin.
In 1978, the Lindop Committee set out the principles which should govern data
protection: (1) The individual should know what personal data is being kept, why it is
needed, how long it will be used, who will use it, for what purpose, and for how long.
(2) Personal data should be handled only to the extent and for the purposes made
known at the outset, or authorized subsequently. (3) It should be accurate and
complete, and relevant and timely for the purpose for which it is used. (4) No more
data should be handled than is necessary for the purposes
made known. (5) The individual should be able to verify that
those principles have been
compiled with.

GALAXY
For centuries man believed the Earth to be the centre of Creation. The true picture is
far more awe-inspiring.
We live on a small planet revolving round a star of only average size, which is itself
revolving, with thousands of millions of other stars, in one galaxy among millions in a
Universe that may well be boundless.
Scientific observation has so far probed only a fraction of it. Yet to travel to the
frontiers of that observed fraction, even at 186,300 miles per second (the speed of
light) would take 6,000 million years, about 20,000 times the total period that human
life is estimated to have existed on Earth.
The different bodies and structures in the universe, all of which appear to be receding
from us, range from single galaxies to mammoth clusters containing as many as 500
galaxies.
Although the cluster of galaxies to which our galaxy belongs is comparatively small (it
has only 25 members), our galaxy itself, the Milky Way System, ranks among the
larger of the known stellar systems. Counting its almost 100,000 million stars (of
which the Sun with its family of
planets is one) at the rate of one star
a second would take about 2,500
years.

POCKETY WOMEN UNITE ?
Pockets are what women need more of. The women's movement in the past decade
has made giant strides in achieving greater social justice for females, but there's a
great deal of work yet to be done. And it can't be done without pockets.
It has been commonly thought that men get the best jobs and make the most money
and don't have to wash the dinner dishes simply because they're men, that cultural
traditions and social conditioning have worked together to give them a special place in
the world order.
While there is undoubtedly some truth to this, the fact remains that no one has
investigated the role that pockets have played in preventing women from attaining the
social status and right that should be theirs.
Consider your average successful executive. How many pockets does he wear to
work ? Two in the sides of his trousers, two in the back, one on the front of his shirt,
three on his suit coat, and one on the inside of the suit coat. Total: nine.
Consider your average woman dressed for office work. If she is wearing a dress or
skirt and blouse, she is probably wearing zero pockets, or one or two at the most. The
pantsuit, that supposedly liberating outfit, is usually equally pocketless. And it usually
comes with a constricting elastic waist to remind women that they were meant to
suffer. Paranoid, you say? Well, how many men's trousers come with elasticized
waists?
Now, while it is always dangerous to generalize, it seems quite safe to say that, on the
whole, the men of the world, at any given time, are carrying about a much greater
number of pockets than are the women of the world. And it is also quite clear that, on
the whole, the men enjoy more power, prestige, and wealth than women do.
An examination of the function of the pocket seems necessary. Pockets are for
carrying money, credit cards, identification (including entrance to those prestigious
clubs where people presumably sit around sharing powerful secrets about how to run
the world), important messages, pens, keys, combs, and impressive-looking
handkerchief's.
All the equipment essential to running the world. And held close to the body. Easily
available. Neatly classified. Pen in the inside pocket. Keys in the back trouser pocket.
Efficiency. Order. Confidence.
The most hurried examination will show that a purse, however large or important-
looking, is no match for a suitful of pockets. If the woman carrying a purse is so lucky
as to get an important phone number or market tip from the executive with whom she
is lunching, can she write it down? Can she find her pen ? Perhaps she can, but it will
probably be buried under three grocery lists, two combs, a checkbook, and a wad of
Kleenex. All of which she will have to pile on top of the lunch table before she can find
the pen.
Will she ever get another tip from this person of power ? Not likely. Now she has lost
any psychological advantage she may have had. He may have been impressed with
her intelligent discussion of the current economic scene before she opened her
handbag, but four minutes later, when she is still digging, like a busy prairie dog, for
that pen, he is no longer impressed.
He knows he could have whipped his pen in and out of his pocket and written fourteen
important messages on the table in the time she is still searching.
Two solutions seem apparent. The women can form a pocket lobby (Pocket Power?)
and march on the New York garment district1.
Or, in the event that effort fails (and well it might, since it would, by necessity, have to
be run by a bunch of pocketless women) an alternate approach remains.
Every man in the country for his next birthday finds himself the lucky recipient of those
very stylish men's handbags, and to go with it, one of those great no-pocket body
shirts.
The imagery that we use for reconstructing our own insides seems to vary from
country to country. For example, the French seem to have an obsession with the liver,
while in Germany, they explain all their peculiar feelings in terms of an organ which
they call "the circulation" - whatever that is. I remember, when I was producing an
opera in Frankfurt about six months ago, that whenever singers arrived late for
rehearsal they would apologize for it by saying they had had "ze circulation collapse"
which had somehow reduced their efficiency.
It is very easy to get the impression that everyone outside the English-speaking world
is a hypochondriacal loony, or a visceral fantasist. This is not altogether so, because,
although I have not been able to find, so far, an American "national organ" among the
British, the last four feet of the intestine seem to loom larger than they ought to. The
word "constipation" is used so often that it is very hard to know what is being referred
to - regularity of the bowel, headaches or lassitude. A vast laxative industry is based
on our national fantasy, and even the medical profession has sometimes fallen victim
to the same obsession. In the early 1900s, there was a surgical craze for removing
yards and yards of intestine at the slightest excuse.

The fact is that the energy crisis, which has suddenly been
officially announced, has been with us for a long time now, and
will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows
freely or not, it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be
allowed to depend on so fragile a base. The supply of oil can be
shut off at whim at any time, and in any case, the oil wells will
all run dry in thirty or so at the present rate of use. New sources
of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any
situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and copious energy we have had in
the times past. To make the situation worse, there is as yet no sign that any slowing of
the world's population is in sight. The food supply will not increase nearly enough to
match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing
and marketing food.
Taking all this into account, what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be
like in the year 2005?
To begin with, the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next
thirty years. This means, for one thing, that we can look forward to an end to the
"natural food" trend. It is not a wave of the future. All the "unnatural" things we do to
food are required to produce more of the food in the first place, and to make it last
longer afterward. It is for that reason that we need and use chemical fertilizer and
pesticides while the food is growing, and add preservatives afterward. In fact, as food
items will tend to decline in quality and decrease in variety, there is very likely to be
increasing use of flavouring additives. Until such time as mankind has the sense to
lower its population to the point where the planet can provide a comfortable support
for all, people will have to accept more artificiality. Then, too, there will be a steady
trend toward vegetarianism. A given quantity of ground can provide plant food for man
or it can provide plant food for animals which are then slaughtered for meat. Yet, land
devoted to plant food will support ten times as many human beings as land devoted to
animal food. It is this (far more than food preferences or religious dictates) that forces
overcrowded populations into vegetarianism. This will come about because our herds
will decrease as the food demand causes more and more pasture land to be turned to
farmland, and as land producing corn and other animal fodder is diverted to providing
food directly for man.

THE 800TH LIFE
In the time between now and the twenty-first century, millions of ordinary,
psychologically normal people will face a sudden confrontation with the future. Many
of the citizens of the world's richest and most technologically advanced nations will
find it increasingly painful to keep up with incessant demand for change that is a
characteristic of our time. For them, the future will have arrived too soon.
This book is about change and how we adapt to it. It is about those who seem to
thrive on change, as well as those multitudes of others who resist it or seek flight from
it. It is about our capacity to adapt. It is about the future and the shock that its arrival
brings.
Western society for the past 300 years has been caught up in a storm of change. This
storm, far from abating, now appears to be gathering force. Change moves through
the highly industrialized countries with waves of ever-accelerating speed and
unprecedented impact. It brings with it all sorts of curious social phenomena - from
psychedelic churches and "free universities" to science cities in the Arctic and wife-
swap clubs in California.
It breeds odd personalities, too: children who at twelve are no longer children; adults
who at fifty are children of twelve. There are rich men who playact poverty, computer
programmers who turn on with LSD. There are married priests and atheist ministers
and Jewish Zen Buddhists. A strange new society is apparently developing in our
midst. Is there a way to understand it, to shape its development?
Much that now seems incomprehensible would be far less so if we took a fresh look at
today's rapid rate of change, for the acceleration of change does not merely affect
industries or nations. It is a force that reaches deep into one's personal life, compels
him to act out new roles, and confronts him with the danger of a new and powerfully
upsetting psychological disease. This new disease can be called "future shock", and a
knowledge of its sources and symptoms helps explain many things that otherwise
resist rational analysis.

DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN POTENTIAL
Nearly every aspect of life affects every other part of life in some way. Historically, we
can see that revolutions in social order have caused profound and gradual changes in
people's lives, not just politically and socially, but also personally and emotionally.
Democracy, for example, is a relatively new kind of social order. Although democracy
was born in ancient Greece, it was not until about two hundred years ago that a
modern opportunity for a democratic government arose. The United States was
formed on democratic principles in 1776. Yet the results of democracy are still
forming. Over a hundred years passed before the principle of equality for all human
beings generalized enough to include women as well as men. In 1920, women's right
to vote was exercised for the first time. Full rights for women leaders were won slowly.
By the 1960s, women leaders were gaining influence. People like Betty Friedan and
Gloria Steinem were busy "raising consciousness" about the silken chains that still
bound women to servitude, to second class status.
However, the basic appeal of the premise1 that all people are created equal eventually
began to have results. Young women had the courage to apply for admission to
professional college programs; mature women were encouraged to ask for better jobs,
for respect, and for responsibility outside their homes. The movement that began with
women's struggle for the right to vote thus developed into what came to be called
"women's liberation" and generalized into human potential movement2.
If women had rights, then surely men had rights too. If women were being encouraged
to ask for what they wanted, men too had the right to voice their feelings about their
work situations, their problems, their worries. Whereas once people chose a life
profession and were expected to work at that one job for the rest of their lives, the
liberation movement in the 60s and 70s restored to people the power over their own
futures. Suddenly a college physics professor decided to study yoga, an accountant
became a carpenter, and a doctor gave up his or her practice. Suddenly society in
general was more willing for women to have what had been traditionally male
characteristics of leadership, assertiveness, and strength. Simultaneously the more
gentle and caring side of many men was freed, making it acceptable for a man to be
actively involved in the care of the sick as nurse, instead of always being cast as the
cool, clinical doctor.
Because of the education in the human potential movement, society accepted men
who chose to teach young children and saw the benefits of having both male and
female roles for preschool and elementary school children. Because of the education
in the human potential movement, women were free to work in traditionally masculine
jobs; for example, in mines, in factories, on road-construction crews. Furthermore,
women were also free to be feminine in dress and in manner while being successful at
their jobs just as the men who were now in professions that had been female-
dominated were still seen as masculine and attractive males.
The transition to a truly egalitarian, or democratic, state is still going on. Parts of the
order of society are still in flux. New rules and new guidelines for the family are being
formed as people learn which solutions to problems work and which ones do not.
Right now, the American family is changing. Divorce, single-parent homes, "his and
her"3 families are all common. Yet, the next twenty years might show results of yet
another stage of development in life, caused ultimately by the human values of
democracy.

PLAGIARISM IN THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY
Scholars, writers, and teachers in the modern academic community have strong
feelings about acknowledging the use of another person's ideas. In the English-
speaking world, the term plagiarism is used to label the practice of not giving credit for
the source of one's ideas. Simply stated, plagiarism is "the wrongful appropriation or
purloining, and publication as one's own, of the ideas, or the expression of ideas
(literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of another."1 From an ancient Latin word
meaning to kidnap or steal the child or slave of another, plagiarism is universally
condemned in the modern academic world. It is equivalent to stealing the livelihood or
savings of a worker, for it robs the original writer or scholar of the ideas and words by
which he makes a living.
The penalties for plagiarism vary from situation to situation. In many universities, the
punishment may range from failure in a particular course to expulsion from the
university. In the literary world, where writers are protected from plagiarism by
international copyright laws, the penalty may range from a small fine to imprisonment
and a ruined career. Protection of scholars and writers, through the copyright laws
and through the social pressure of the academic and literary communities, is a
relatively recent concept. Such social pressures and copyright laws require writers to
give scrupulous attention to documentation of their sources2.

NEW POLICY DEBATE
For nearly two decades technical and financial assistance to Third World population
and family planning programs has been an important component of foreign aid
programs. Support for these activities by the United States and other industrialized
donors has been justified in part by the long-standing belief that rapid population
growth in the developing world dilutes and in some cases impedes economic
development.
But in the last several years this contention has been sharply challenged by a small
group of Western economists who argue that population growth is often the driving
force behind economic expansion and technological change. Citing historical
precedents in Western countries and post-war economic successes in Japan, Taiwan,
and South Korea and elsewhere, they make three general points: first, that population
growth is the natural result of improvements in the human condition, especially
improved health; second, that an expanding labor force, an expanding market, and
other consequences of population spur economic growth; and third, that economic
progress, in and of itself, will lead to population stabilization through changes in
desired family size. Direct interventions to reduce birth-rates are unnecessary or even
counterproductive.
In the United States this "anti-Malthusian" view, as it is called by its proponents, has
recently gained support in some government circles and among political pressure
groups (most prominently anti-abortion groups) who oppose assistance to population
programs on other grounds. Their attack on U.S. population assistance peaked in the
summer of 1984, during preparations for U.S. participation in the U.N. International
Population Conference. It precipitated the first major public debate in the 20-year
history of U.S. foreign aid for family planning. Although public and media attention
declined after the Conference, the policy debate has continued.

THE WAY UP TO HEAVEN
All her life, Mrs. Foster had had an almost pathological fear of missing a train, a plane,
a boat, or even a theatre curtain. In other respects, she was not a particularly nervous
woman, but the mere thought of being late on occasions like these would throw her
into such a state of nerves that she would begin to twitch. It was nothing much - just a
tiny vellicating muscle in the corner of the left eye, like a secret wink - but the
annoying thing was that it refused to disappear until an hour or so after the train or
plane or whatever it was had been safely caught.
It was really extraordinary how in some people a simple apprehension about a thing
like catching a train can grow into a serious obsession. At least half an hour before it
was time to leave the house for the station, Mrs. Foster would step out of the elevator
all ready to go, with hat and coat, gloves, and then, being quite unable to sit down,
she would flutter and fidget about from room to room until her husband, who must
have been well aware of her state, finally emerged from his privacy and suggested in
a cool dry voice that perhaps they had better get going now, had they not?
Mr. Foster may possibly have had a right to be irritated by this foolishness of his
wife's, but he could have had no excuse for increasing her misery by keeping her
waiting unnecessarily. Mind you, it is by no means certain that this is what he did, yet
whenever they were to go somewhere, his timing was so accurate - just a minute or
two late, you understand - and his manner so bland that it was hard to believe he
wasn't purposefully inflicting a nasty little torture of his own on the unhappy woman.
And one thing he must have known - that she would never dare to call out and tell him
to hurry. He had disciplined her too well for that. He must also have known that if he
was prepared to wait even beyond the last moment of safety, he could drive her
nearly into hysterics. On one or two special occasions in the later years of their
married life, it seemed almost as though he had wanted to miss the train simply in
order to intensify the poor woman's suffering.
Assuming (though one cannot be sure) that the husband was guilty, what made his
attitude doubly unreasonable was the fact that, with the exception of this one small
irrepressible foible, Mrs. Foster was and always had been a good and loving wife. For
over thirty years, she had served him loyally and well. There was no doubt about this.
Even she, a very modest woman, was aware of it, and although she had for years
refused to let herself believe that Mr. foster would ever consciously torment her, there
had been times recently when she had caught herself beginning to wonder.

COMMON SENSE ABOUT SMOKING
It is often said, "I know all about the risk to my health, but I think the risk is worth it."
When this statement is true it should be accepted. Everyone has the right to choose
what risks they take, however great they may be. However, often the statement really
means, "I have a nasty feeling that smoking is bad for my health, but I would rather
not think about it." With some people the bluff can be called and they can be asked to
explain what they think the risk to their health is. When this is done few get very far in
personal terms. The bare fact that 23,000 people died of lung cancer last year in
Great Britain often fails to impress an individual. When it is explained that this is the
equivalent of one every twenty-five minutes or is four times as many as those killed on
the roads, the significance is more apparent. The one-in-eight risk of dying of lung
cancer for the man who smokes twenty-five or more cigarettes a day may be better
appreciated if an analogy is used. If, when you boarded a plane, the girl at the top of
the steps were to welcome you aboard with the greeting, "I am pleased that you are
coming with us - only one in eight of our planes crashes," how many would think
again, and make other arrangements ? Alternatively, the analogy of Russian roulette
may appeal. The man smoking twenty-five or more a day runs the same risk between
the ages of thirty and sixty as another who buys a revolver with 250 chambers and
inserts a live bullet and on each of his birthdays spins the chamber, points the
revolver at his head, and pulls the trigger. One of the difficulties in impressing these
facts on people, is that, despite the current epidemic of lung cancer, because it is a
disease which kills relatively quickly, there are many have as yet no experience of it
among their family or friends.

LANGUAGE
That language is highly complex is shown by the fact that up to now it has not proved
possible to translate mechanically from one language to another, with really
satisfactory results. The best programmed computer still cannot consistently translate
from, say, Russian into English. The fault lies not in the computer but in the failure to
provide it with sufficiently accurate instructions, because we are still unable to handle
this vastly complex system. It has been calculated that if the brain used any of the
known methods of computing language, it would take several minutes to produce or to
understand a single short sentence.

ART
There is no denying that in the last hundred years the condition of civilised man has
changed more radically than at any previous time. Inventions and discoveries, from
the steam engine to internal combustion engine, from electricity to atomic power, have
led to the mechanisation of industry, which in turn has basically affected the social,
economic and political structure of our society. A society of the masses has come into
existence and is being buttressed by such mass means as the press, the cinema,
radio and - latterly - television.
It is hardly surprising that these rapidly changing circumstances should have had their
effect on the arts, too.
Art has always been a highly sensitive instrument for registering any changes in the
social order or in the ideas, beliefs and activities of man. One might ask whether it is
possible for the creative faculty to exist at all in a mass-society, whether our
mechanised world is the proper place for the production and enjoyment of a work of
art. If it is true that calm contemplation is vital to the artist, does it not also follow that
his whole being will protest most violently against an epoch in which machine sets the
pace, a pace which, in its ruthless precision, is the very opposite of that rhythm of life
out of which art has hitherto grown?

IFS OF HISTORY
"What if ...?" in history is even more fun. In the eighth century the Moors in Spain sent
out a reconnaissance party along the Roman road into France, got ambushed, and
decided that France was no go. There's a theory that if they'd had stirrups , they could
have ridden down the ambush (without stirrups, you can too readily be pushed off
your horse by anyone with a pike). Then the Moors might have gone ahead and
invaded France.

EARLY DAZE
The train into London was 10 minutes late and as the fare had just gone up I was
about to advance my theory concerning the immutable law of British Rail - viz., that
the higher the fare, the worse the service - when the regular commuter beside me
gave a long, low whistle of amazement.
"Either my watch has gone haywire," he said, "or this train is only 10 minutes late."
I knew he was a regular commuter because he was down to his shirt sleeves and was
the only cool-looking fellow among us. The rest of us, the non-regulars, had fallen into
the oldest trap in the history of railways - to wit, we had assumed that because there
had been no heating in the carriages last week when there was snow and frost about
and the temperatures were below zero, there never would be any heating in the
carriages.
The flaw in this assumption, as the regular commuter would doubtlessly have pointed
out had we consulted him, was that it was based on the expectation that the cold
weather would continue. But in fact the morning of which I speak was rather mild for
the time of year and consequently whoever ordains these things had turned the
heating on full-blast and was chuckling happily away to himself as he thought of us
sweltering there amid our greatcoats, blankets, and hot-water bottles.
Anyway, there was much consulting of watches as the regular commuter spoke and a
great shaking of heads of disbelief as we assured him that his watch was accurate
and that, incredibly, it was the train that was fast.
And then, of course, the travellers' tales began as people tried to remember the last
time this particular train had only been 10 minutes late and the stories grew wilder and
wilder until it reached the high absurdity with some ancient at the back who claimed
that he'd been commuting daily for nearly twenty years, ever since he left school (and
indeed he had the white hair, the palsied twitch and the hopeless gaze to prove it) and
insisted that he could remember an age when, almost as often as not, some of the
trains actually ran on time.
Well, naturally nobody believed the old fool and in any case some of the passengers
were rather bitter about the morning's break with the tradition and one man said his
entire day was constructed round the certain knowledge that the train would be at
least half an hour late and now he was going to fetch up in London with 20 minutes to
kill and if you could no longer rely on the total incompetence of British Rail, what could
you rely on?
"Next thing you know," he said scathingly, as he shuffled his feet among the yellowing
newspapers that warned of the danger of drought, "they'll be cleaning the carriages."
There was a collective gasp of horror at this prediction, far-fetched though it was,
because railway commuters are creatures of habit who like to be surrounded by
familiar things as they wait, forgotten, in some remote siding. There is, for instance,
the smoker who inevitably knocks his out his pipe in the ashtray that's full of petrified
orange peel, while I always try to stand beside the bloke who always sits beside the
window on which someone had once scrawled in dust the cryptic message, "Bring
back Washbrook."
I mention standing because, of course, few commuters are lucky enough to find a seat
unless they happen to be travelling in holiday times, such as the week after
Christmas, when with hardly any passenger to cater for, British Rail naturally adds
extra coaches to each train.
However, I finally arrived in London ten minutes late having paid a fare which, in spite
of allegations that the increases would range from 10 per cent to 17 per cent, was
actually 23 per cent up on the previous week, to find the B.R. Spokesman had words
to cheer us.
"If more people would travel more," he said with dazzling naively that illuminates all
the doings of the British Rail, the customers might "get away" without any more fare
increases this year! Gosh, fancy "getting away" with traveling in extreme discomfort
on possibly the worst railway in the civilised world without having to pay more for the
privilege.
I blew my nose loudly to hide the tears of gratitude - and then a certain weakness in
the Spokesman's statement occurred to me. "If more people travelled more" would
seem to me that if I, for example, travelled to London seven days a week instead of
four, the fares would not be increased, right? Right. Even so, getting to and from
London would cost me 75 per cent more than it did now, right? Right - but remember it
would only be 75 per cent more at the present rate.

I had twelve bottles of whisky in my cellar and my wife told me to empty the contents
of every bottle down the sink - or else! So I said I would, and proceeded with the
unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents
down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from
the second bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I
withdrew the cork from the third bottle and emptied the good old booze down the sink,
except a glass which I drank. I pulled the cork from the fourth sink and poured the
bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and
drank one sink out of it and poured the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the
next glass and poured the cork down the bottle. I pulled the next cork out of my throat,
poured the sink down the bottle and drank the glass, then I corked the sink in the
glass, bottled the sink and drank the pour.
When I had emptied everything I steadied the house with one hand and counted the
bottles and corks and glasses with the other, which were twenty-nine. To make sure I
counted them again, when they came to seventy-four. And as the house came by, and
finally I had all the bottles and corks and glasses counted, except one house and one
cork, which I drank.
