V. READING — Part 3A (Early Medicine)

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Early Medicine
Life in ancient times was difficult; there were constant wars, much famine and few cures for diseases which ravaged the society. Therefore, the treatment of illness and injury greatly concerned the ancients. What methods did ancient cultures use to fight disease and injury? All ancient cultures had a mythological divine healer. For the ancient Greeks it was Asklepius, the god of medicine. Sanctuaries dedicated to him, called Asklepeions, attracted the ill and injured, who would often travel from far and wide to seek relief from whatever ailed him at these healing centers. They were often in settings of spectacular natural beauty. The main Asklepeion in ancient Greece was in Epidaurus. It was similar to a modern spa in that the patients were offered special purifying baths, followed by a diet — what we would call a detox diet today — that lasted for several days. Once patients were cleansed, they entered a sleep chamber for one or two nights. They would then receive a visit from the god in the form of a dream, and he would heal the patients directly or tell them how to cure their illness.
Ancient healing, however, involved more than just healthy food and dream analysis. From the writings of Hippocrates, the best-known ancient physician, we learn that ancient doctors knew how to heal infected wounds by lancing, draining and cleaning them. They also knew how to use herbs to treat a spectrum of illnesses. Ginger was effective in treating nausea and is still used today for the same reason; a special clay was useful in fighting problems in the digestive system. Scientific analysis has revealed that the clay was similar to kaolin, which is used in modern medicines to treat diarrhoea. Surgery was also part of the ancient physician’s vast repertoire. The famous Greek physician, Galen, successfully removed cataracts from the eyes with the use of a needle. He was also aware of the importance of hygiene and so kept his ‘operating theatre’ spotlessly clean. He did, however, have a misconception regarding his notion that the stomach lining played no role in the process of digestion.
Archaeologists have revealed other medical practices in the ancient world. Skeletal remains show evidence of quite surprising surgical procedures. Skulls have been excavated that show signs of trepanation — a procedure still used today in which a hole is drilled into the skull to relieve pressure caused by head trauma. Skulls treated in this way from ancient societies around the world indicate that the practice goes back as far as 10,000 BC. By studying the regrowth of the bone around the hole in the skull, it is possible to determine how long the patient survived after the surgery. Some did not survive, some lived a little longer, but others healed completely.
Excavations in Israel have also revealed evidence of ancient dental procedures. In a desert grave, a 2,200-year-old skull was found that had a dental filling, which was a very short bronze wire placed into the tooth. Elsewhere, in the catacombs of Rome, which were used from the 1st to the 5th centuries AD, skulls were found with gold fillings. Not surprisingly, further information about ancient health care can be found in the graves of ancient doctors. Depicted in stone tablets are the instruments they used. These objects are almost identical to the cutting-edge instruments used by doctors and surgeons today.

V. READING — Part 3B (eating out)

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

There are many different types of places to eat. One important question is who uses different places and how often they go. As sociologists, we are very interested in social and cultural characteristics of people who behave differently. Such characteristics indicate the financial, social, practical and cultural forces systematically distributed across the population, which constrain or encourage people to engage in particular ways of eating out.
We asked respondents how often they ate out under different circumstances. Excluding holidays and eating at the workplace, on average the respondents to the survey ate a main meal out on commercial premises about once every three weeks. Twenty-one per cent ate out once a week, a further forty-four per cent at least monthly and only seven per cent claimed never to eat out. Mean frequency of eating at someone else’s home was about the same, but a much larger proportion (twenty per cent) never did so.
Twenty per cent of respondents claimed never to eat in the home of other family members, and about one third never at the home of friends. Very regular eating out with either kin or friends was not very prevalent, but being a guest at a main meal in someone else’s home is part of the life experience of a large majority of population. There is a strong positive association between being a guest of friends, guest of family and commercial eating out. Opportunities to eat out are cumulative, particularly eating out commercially and with friends.
To be seen in the right places and in attractive company, or at least to let others know that we are familiar with the most exciting or rewarding of experiences, is part of a process of display and performance which contributes to reputation. Early sociologist examining consumption were particularly interested in the claiming and attributing of status through exhibitions of a prestigious style of life. They were particularly concerned with the ways in which individuals established reputations for refinement, superiority and distinction. Consumption patterns reflected social standing, and particularly class position. Eating out is a potential means for such display through the use and avoidance of different venues.

Which of the following are sociologists interested in about the topic of eating out?

Which sentence best paraphrases: “To be seen in the right places and in attractive company… contributes to reputation.”

According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
