I thought I saw a removals van outside your house yesterday afternoon. MRS SUTTON: Yes. They came yesterday. We spent all day yesterday arran
13、ging them. Its beginning to feel a bit more like home now. MRS SMITH: Thats good. Look, come in and sit down. Are you alright? You look a bit worried. MRS SUTTON: Well, I am a bit. Im sorry to bother you so early, Mrs Smith, but I wonder if you could help me. Could you tell me how I can get hold of
14、a doctor? Our daughter, Anna, isnt very well this morning and I may have Q11 to call somebody out. She keeps being sick and I am beginning to get a bit worried. I just dont know how the health system works here in England. All I know is that its very different from ours back in Canada. MRS SMITH: We
15、ll, I dont know really where to start. Let me think. Well, the first thing you have to do is find a family doctor sometimes we call them general practitioners as well - and register with him or her. If you live here, youve got to be on a doctors list. If youre not, things can be a bit difficult. Nob
16、ody will come out to you if youre not registered. Anyway, they work Q12 in things called practices. Sort of small groups of family doctors all working together in the same building. Now what youve got to do this morning is register with one of them. There are two practices near here, so were quite w
17、ell off for doctors in this part of Manchester. Theres the Dean End Health Centre about ten minutes walk away and theres another practice in South Hay. Thats about five minutes away going towards the town centre. Were registered at the Dean End one, but theyre both OK. There are about six doctors in
18、 Q13 our practice and four in the other. So ours is quite big in comparison. Q14 And the building and everythings a bit more modern. South Hay is a bit old-fashioned but the doctors are OK. Their only problem is that they Q15 dont have a proper appointment system. Sometimes you have to wait for ages
19、 there to see someone. Anyway, you go to the receptionist in whichever health centre and ask her to register you with a doctor there. You have to fill in a form, but it doesnt take long. Ours is called Dr Jones and weve been going to him for years - ever since we moved here fifteen years ago. I woul
20、dnt say hes brilliant but I suppose hes alright really. Were used to him now. They say Q16 hes very good with elderly people, but he does tend to get a bit impatient with children. Listen, the one whos supposed to be really good with small children is Dr Shaw. Ive heard lots of people say that. Shes
21、 young and shes got small children of her own. So you could try registering with her. And if her list is full, I heard somebody say the other day that theres a really nice young doctor at South Hay, a Dr Williams. He holds special Q17 clinics for people with back trouble. But thats not really your p
22、roblem, is it? MRS SMITH: If you want a doctor to visit you at home, you have to ask for a home visit. Youre supposed to do that before 10.30 in the morning, but obviously, if its an emergency, you can phone at any time, night or day. It might not be your doctor that comes, though. Its quite often o
23、ne of the other doctors in the practice. It doesnt really seem to make much difference. Otherwise you make an appointment to see your doctor at the health centre. You usually get seen the same day. Not always of course, but usually, as I say. They hold surgeries between 9 and 11.30 every weekday, Q1
24、8 and from 4 to 6.30 Monday to Thursday. Saturdays are only for emergencies. When the doctor sees you, he gives you a prescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemists shop. Theres one opposite the centre. If its for a child under 16, you dont have to pay. So if it
25、s for Anna, theres no problem. The same thing goes if youre unemployed or retired, Q19 or if youre pregnant. Just as well because its not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment its Q20 something like 5 per item. So you pay for the medication but the cons
26、ultation with the doctor doesnt cost you anything. Its completely free as long as youre a resident here. Youre going to be here for three years, arent you? So there shouldnt be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So thats one less problem to worry about. Look, Mrs Sutton. If you w
27、ant, Ill sit with your daughter for half an hour if you want to go down to the health centre to register. Its no trouble really, dont worry. MRS SUTTON: Are you sure you wouldnt mind? That would really help me a lot. Ill ask them if they can send someone round later to see Anna. I think Ill try the
28、Dean End Centre. MRS SMITH: Good idea. Dont worry about Anna. MRS SUTTON: Right.

34、of the first year I really wanted to leave and come home. TUXOR: Why was that? JB: Well. I was very homesick at first and missed my family. 【 Q28】 TUXOR: Umm. I can quite understand that. JB: . and I also found it frustrating to have so few teaching resources, but I did decide to stay and in the end
35、 I extended my tour to a third year. TUTOR: Right. Things must have looked up then? JB: Yes. We set up a very successful project breeding cattle to sell locally. TUTOR: Really? JB: And then after a lot of hard work we finally got funds for new farm buildings. TUTOR: And you wanted to see things thro

Paula. PAULA CLAYBURG: Do you know what
39、 Prince Charles, Seve Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have in common? They all suffer from chronic back pain. In fact, bad backs are one of the most common health problems today, affecting people in all walks of life. The most recent available figures show that about a quarter of a million people a
40、re incapacitated with 【 Q31】 back pain every day. And many sufferers dont know the cause or the solution to their problem. The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis, which I personally believe to
41、be the major cause of problems for women. I have many women patients who say they have 【 Q32】 completely given up exercise because the pain makes them so miserable. But of course that starts up a vicious circle. Bed rest, giving up exercise and pain killers are traditional responses to back pain but
42、, although there are many excellent drugs on the market, at our clinic we are beginning to realise the unique benefits of relaxation therapy. Other 【 Q33】 specialists in the field make a strong case for certain types of exercise, but in our experience they are easily mishandled and can lead to more
43、harm than good. Now, lets look at some of the reasons why back pain is developing into such a unique menace. In general, the body is pretty good at self- repair. A strain or a blow to a limb, though painful at the time, generally resolves itself. But the bodys response to back injury can be very cou
44、nter-productive. When pain strikes, we attempt to keep the 【 Q34】 back as immobile as possible, which makes the muscles tense up. Research shows that they often go into spasm, which causes further twisting of the spine. A vicious circle is underway. The second mistake we often make when stricken wit
45、h extreme back pain is to go to bed and stay there. Although at the clinic we recognise that a short rest in bed can be helpful, up to two days, any longer 【 Q35】 makes our back muscles become weaker and unable to hold up our spine. The pain therefore becomes worse. Another problem is being overweig
46、ht. Anyone a stone or more over- 【 Q36】 weight who already has back pain is not doing himself any favours: though it wont actually set it off in the first place, the weight will increase the strain and make things worse. The British diet could be partially to blame for the increase in back pain: ove
47、r the last ten years the average weight of men has risen by 11 lbs and of women by 9 lbs. So much for the causes and aggravations of pain. But what can WE do to help? There are many ways in which simple day-to-day care can make all the difference. The first point to watch of course is weight. If you
48、 are overweight, a diet will make all the difference. Also, studies have shown that just one hour sitting in a slouched position can strain ligaments in the back which can take months to heal. At the clinic we have come to the conclusion that the major cause of the problem is not with the design of
49、chairs, as some have suggested, but in the way WE sit in them. It can be useful to get special orthopaedic 【 Q37】 chairs, but remember the most important improvement should be in OUR posture. Another enemy of your back is, of course, your beds. If your bed doesnt give enough support, back muscles and ligaments work all night trying to correct spinal alignment, so you wake up with a tired aching back. Try out an orthopaedic mattre
