Last Wednesday at the office, I was seated at my desk working at my computer
when suddenly I felt rather sick. I got very hot all of a sudden and I had a terrible
headache. My eyes were hurting terribly, too. So I called and made an appointment
to see the doctor. That afternoon I went along to the doctor's and he asked me lots
of questions. Then he asked me to take off my blouse and he checked me over. He
listened to my chest, looked in my eyes and in my ears. When he had finished
examining me he said, "Well, you've got flu". He wrote out a prescription for some
medicine and advised me to go home, to take the medicine twice a day and to stay

thing is I don't think I got better because of the medicine at all. I think I got well
just because I had a three-day rest from working with my computers!

Brenda Ah, there you are, honey. Are you feeling better?
George Well, a little bit. Anyway, it's good to see you.
Brenda Here, I've brought you some fruit and a bottle of lemon juice.
George Oh, thank you.
Brenda Well, what is it like in here? What have they been doing to you?
8.(a) Visiting a Patient in George Well, it's not so bad, I suppose. They've stuck lots of needles into me and
Hospital (Listen & read) given me a few kinds of pills. Oh yes, and they gave me a chest X-ray
earlier this morning.
Brenda They seem to be doing things for you. Did they tell you how long you're
likely to be here?
George I asked but they told me it was still too early to say.
Brenda Well, they can't make you stay for very long. What else have you been
doing?
George Well, I've been speaking to the guy in the next bed. His name's Terence.
He took the same course as I'm doing and he's a sales director now. He's
in here with an ulcer.
Brenda Well, I'd love you to improve with your course, but I'm not very
enthusiastic at the thought of you getting an ulcer. Oh, by the way, I
intended to bring you some of your textbooks so that you could catch up
with your work, but I forgot. You must be missing a lot by being here.
George Good grief, I can't have missed all that much. I've only been here for one
day, and I don't feel like studying right now. It's a good idea, though, and I
might feel a bit more energetic tomorrow.
Brenda All right, I won't forget to bring them next time. Oh, is there anything else
that you'd like me to bring you?
George Yes, you might bring me a few packets of chewing-gums and sweets.
Having a bad chest means going without cigarettes and I need some kind
of substitute.
Brenda Yes, if you can go without cigarettes for some days, you might as well try
and give it up once and for all.

UNIT 11
The shopping fever. Some shopping is essential. It can also be relaxing. For a lot
of people it is also a pastime, often a very enjoyable one. We have even come up
with a new phrase, retail therapy , to describe the fantastic feelings we can get
from shopping. Buying things makes a lot of us feel good. However, it can go
badly wrong too when for certain people spending gets out of hand. Without a
doubt, we live in a very ´spend-happy´ society. Generally, we are spending more
than we earn and a lot of people are finding themselves in debt.
11.(a) Shopping For some people, though, shopping can become a real problem. It can turn into a
(Listen & read) serious condition in which people feel unhappy unless they are buying something.
Most of the time they don't need the things they are purchasing; more often they
don't even like them. 23-year-old singer, "Ms S", claims that she is a "shopaholic",
although she doesn't want to admit she has a problem. "I just like to look good all
the time", she says. "I love special clothes and I have a special passion for shoes.
I've got 225 pairs!" She says that she doesn't have to spend much. Her shopping
spree can cost her anything from 20p to 15,000 pounds, but she says she needs to
purchase something every day. Oddly enough, it was being a shopaholic that gave
"Ms S" the chance to become a singer. She was in a chat room for shopaholics on
the Internet when she was discovered by a member of a new pop group. They had
just written a song called Retail Therapy about the risk of shopping addiction. "We
wrote the song because we've got friends who've been in that situation. We've
witnessed what can happen. They get all the credit cards and then shop
themselves into a real mess," they said. The group went to the chat room because
they were searching for an ordinary person who understood shopaholics to be
their lead singer. They didn't fancy an actress or a well-known singer, just
someone that other women could relate to.
Scam were very glad to find "Ms S", but even though she has recorded the song
with them, they still haven't met her. The group want the song and the issue of
shopping addiction to remain more important than the people involved. They don't
want to meet "Ms S" and spend time getting to know one another. "Ms S" goes to
the recording studio alone, and all their communication, including interviews for
the press, is done via mobile. "It's working out well for me, says "Ms S", "I can do
all these interviews and things while I'm out shopping!"

People have always complained of headaches. It is a health problem common to

people all over the world. In some cultures, people use special herbs to treat
headaches. For example, Native American Indians use plants which contain a
chemical found in aspirins. But today, the majority of people in the developed
world take a pill to cure a headache - aspirin, for example. In the past, however,
people didn't use to have medicines, so what did they do?
Many years ago, headaches were cured in a variety of ways - and a few of the
17.(a) treatments might be difficult for us to imagine in the twenty-first century!

times, people believed this medical practise would take away their headache.
In ancient Egypt, medicine men had various ways of treating headaches. They
used to tie a ceramic crocodile, which was filled with herbs, to the head of the
patient. The reasons for this are not clear to us today.
In the Middle Ages, there were no hospitals and only people who were well off
were able to go to doctors. But the people who did visit doctors were normally
cured with leeches - small, black creatures that suck blood. They were put on the
patient's body near the affected area. For people who suffered from headaches,
the leech was usually placed on the neck.
These treatments were probably a bit painful, and they may seem very weird to us
now. Just picture what dentists used to do to people who had toothache!
