comprehension
I. Decide which of the following
best states the author’s purpose of writing.
B.
II. Judge, according to the text,
whether the following statements are true or
false.
1. T. Refer to Paragraph 1.
2. F.
Refer to Paragraph 2. Here it is stated that the
patient’s skin is not brown from the sun,
though it looks deeply tanned from a distance.
Rather, his kin becomes reddish because he is in
his
last stage of life, that is, he is
approaching death.
3. F. Refer to Paragraph
7. When the doctor offers his help, the patient
remains silent for a
long time, knowing he is
helpless. But he earnestly makes a request of
bringing him a pair of
shoes, hoping against
hope that the doctor will make him a whole being
again.
4. T. Refer to Paragraph 7.
5. F.
The reason why the patient refuses to eat oatmeal
is not that he doesn’t like it but rather
that
he wants to have nothing at all. What he longs for
is a dignified death since it is impossible to
get back his legs.
III. Answer the
following questions.
1. No, he doesn’t.
Instead, he finds the activity justifiable. For
one thing, he thinks the activity
is well-
meant, i. e. he wants to collect more pathological
evidence in order to give the patients
more
effective treatment. For another, his activity is
not spying in the true sense, for the act is far
from furtive.
2. The fact that there are
no get-well cards, no small, private caches of
food and day-old flowers
shows that he has
been abandoned by his family and friends.
3.
As a blind man, he is restrained in activity. Now
without legs he is completely confined to
bed.
Like a caged bird, he longs for freedom and dreams
of going back to his career. Thus it is
understandable why he repeatedly asks for
shoes.
4. This is the way he expresses his
wrath with the unfair fate. He is deprived of
sight and now
his legs. Deserted by society,
he is left with very little. Indignant as he is,
he can avenge himself
upon nobody. What he can
do is only to crash his plate against the wall to
vent his anger and
despair. Moreover, he would
rather die in a stroke like the plate than linger
in agony. But he
wishes to die a dignified
death and takes going fasting as the best way. The
discus throwing
strengthens his resolve. The
sound of the scrambled eggs dropping to the floor
brings him the
hope of being liberated in the
other world.
5. It is a unique laughter as is
indicated in Paragraph 11. It comes both from the
pleasure after
revenge by crashing the plate
and the hope to extricate himself from his agony
by means of an
abrupt death like the plate.
Since freedom in this material world is impossible
to him, he wishes to
have it in the other
world.
IV. Explain in your own words the
following sentences taken from the text.
1.
“Yes, I am going down,” he says, meaning literally
that he is going down with the bed but
intentionally that his physical condition is
going from bad to worse.
2. The wild, relaxed
laughter is a totally new sound in the world that
nobody has ever heard.
The joyful laughter
could even give a promising future to cancer
patients.
3. The aide looks across at me,
shaking her head to express her helplessness and
making a facial
signal to show her
dissatisfaction with the patient.
Structural analysis of the text
This text
can be divided into three parts. The first part,
i. e. Paragraph 1, serves as an
introduction
to the background of the story. The second part,
i. e. Paragraphs 2-13, describes the
strange
behavior of a particular patient dubbed the discus
thrower and his conflict with the health
workers. The third part, i. e. Paragraphs
14-15, tells the reader about the death of the
patient. Here
are the suggested headlines for
the three parts: (1) Spying on Patients: a Habit
of Mine; (2)
Encounters with a Particular
Patient; and (3) The Death of the Patient.
Rhetorical features of the text
First look
at the questions the doctor asks himself:
Ought not a doctor to observe his patients by
any means and from any stance, that he might
the more fully assemble evidence? (Paragraph
1)
Is he mute as well as blind? (Paragraph 3)
What is he thinking behind those lids that do
not blink? Is he remembering a time when he
was whole? Does he dream of feet? Or when his
body was not a rotting log? (Paragraph 6)
Now
look at the questions asked by the doctor in his
dialogue with the patient:
“How are you?” (
Paragraph 5)
“How do you feel?” (Paragraph 5)
“Anything more I can do for you?” (Paragraph
7)
All these questions help to prove that the
doctor is very patient with, responsible for, and
considerate to his patient.
By contrast,
the medical aide is impatient and sounds
dominating, which can be seen in the
way she
talks with the patient in Paragraph 13:
“I’ve
got to feed you,” which implies that “you are not
allowed to eat it yourself.”
“Oh, yes I do
after the way you just did,” which means “it is
your fault so you can’t argue
with me any
more.”
“Here’s the oatmeal. Open,” which is
not an expected answer to the request of the
patient but
a refusal plus a command.

Exercises for
integrated skills
I. Dictation.
The longer
I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude
on life. Attitude to me is more
important
than facts. It is more important than past, than
education, than money, than
circumstances,
than failures, than successes, than what other
people think or say or do. It is
more
important than appearance, gifted ability, or
skill. It will make or break a company, a
church, a home.
The remarkable thing is
we have a choice every day regarding the attitude
we will embrace
from that day. We cannot
change our past, we cannot change the fact that
people will act in
certain ways. We cannot
change the inevitable. The only thing that we can
do is play on the one
string that we have and
this string is Attitude. I am convinced that life
is ten percent what
happens to me and ninety
percent how I react to it. And so it is with you.
II. Fill in each blank in the passage below

Richard:
Interviewer:
Richard:
Medicine Matters
Richard, you’re one of
Virginia’s patients.
That’s right.
How did
you first know that you had diabetes?
I was on
a camping holiday with my parents and my mother
had recently read an
article in a woman’s
magazine which described the symptoms which are
desperate
thirst and also urinating a lot.
And, because we were camping, my mother filled up
the water buckets for the morning the night
before and she realized one morning
that she’d
filled two 2-gallon buckets and found only half a
bucket left in the
morning , so I’d drunk 3
gallons of water during the night and of course
urinated it
all out as well. It was quite
soggy round the tent.
Good heavens! And did
you feel ill?
Yeah, you feel really ill, you
feel like very thirsty, really thirsty and
sweating a lot
and just tired, lethargic, you
can’t do anything.
So she then took you off to
the doctor, did she?
Interviewer:
Richard:
Interviewer:
Richard: Yeah, to a GP
who did a urine test which was the standard way of
testing for
diabetes and of course my sugar
content was sky high; and that’s an automatic sign
really that you’re diabetic.
Interviewer:
And how old were you when all this happened?
Richard: I was five and a half.
Interviewer: So are those symptoms common? Is
that what everybody suffers from? This thirst?
Virginia: Yes on the whole ... I mean ... when
erm well put it this way, your body needs sugar
to function, just you know for sleeping,
working, playing, all those sorts of things.
And it’s insulin that enables your body to use
the sugar, and so if you haven’t got
enough,
the sugar builds up in the blood and you actually
get ... well in fact you get
dehydrated really
and the only way your body can get rid of the
sugar is to send it
out through the kidneys,
through the urine. So you send out loads and loads
of
urine and so you get this awful thirst and
so that ... that’s usual the first symptoms,
especially with somebody young and you know
who’s going to actually need
insulin.
Interviewer: So what’s the treatment now for
diabetes?
Virginia: Well it ... I mean it
depends on when and sort of how you get diabetes.
If ... on the
whole, below the age of erm
about 30, you’re going to need to have insulin
injections for the rest of your life because
you’re, you’re not producing ... you’re
just
not producing enough insulin and probably no
insulin after a while. But there
are lots ...
it’s almost what 2% of the population, possibly
more, now have diabetes
and in the sort of the
later age range people develop it and sometimes it
can be
controlled just by diet or with diet
and tablets.
Interviewer: And the effect on
people’s diet, does it vary for each individual,
or are there basic
rules that all diabetics
follow?
Virginia: What you advise for diabetes
now is the diet that you recommend for everybody,
you know, that you have plenty of fresh
vegetables and fruit, and enough
carbohydrate
to fill you up and preferably sort of high fibre
carbohydrate, and cut
down on fats, which ...
it’s actually the opposite almost that you were
recommended, what 10 years ago.

TEXT

Key to questions for discussion
1. One
day in 1981, she was caught in a fire caused by
the spilled gasoline from a gas tank in a
kitchen and became seriously injured.
2.
She suffered third-degree bums, which means about
40 percent of her body was burned. As the
text
tells us, these bums penetrated deep into her
muscles, blood vessels and nerves. Most of the
wounds were concentrated on her face, neck,
hands and upper body. Her scorched eyelids and
nostrils were swollen shut, her lips were
blackened and puffy and her right ear was charred.
Blood
and fluids were seeping from her body.
3. Her father rushed to the hospital as soon
as he got the message and stayed by her side as
long as
he was allowed. During his visits he
tried to help her regain consciousness by playing
music tapes
and encourage her to live on by
one-sided conversation. His deep love and great
patience
contributed immensely to her
daughter’s physical and mental recovery.
4.
There could have been many options and
possibilities for Sian to choose from. But here is
what
really happened to her after she left
hospital: She attended university and studied
biology; she got
interested in medicine and
finally became a surgeon in a hospital!
