The Father of Modern Medicine

Hippocrates, a physician in Greece around 430 B.C, was the father of modern

medicine There were physicians before Hippocrates, but his ideas about medicine and the body were very different from the other doctors of his time At the time, it was believed that diseases were caused by angry gods or spirits Hippocrates, however, believed that there were natural causes for every disease He was also the first doctor to study the human body in detail From his studies, he identified many diseases, and he was the first doctor to claim that our thoughts come from our brains Before that, people believed that our thoughts and feelings came from our hearts

Hippocrates’s greatest accomplishment was the Hippocratic Oath Hippocrates

understood that doctors held great power over their patients He worried that some doctors would not use this power properly So, he developed a promise It said that

doctors would only work to help their patients, never to hurt them He made all of his

students take his oath Even today, all new doctors take the Hippocratic Oath

5 According to paragraph 2, why did Hippocrates create the Hippocratic Oath?

THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

Loch is the Scottish word (1) a lake Loch Ness is a very long, narrow lake (2) the Highlands in the north of Scotland It is very deep, (3) 300 metres in some places When the mist is (4) over the lake in the evening, you can see the creature swimming (5) the surface of the water, a series of great humps raised in the air, (6) a huge snake (7) you want to see the monster, it (8) if you have a few drops of whisky first, just to (9) warm It quickly gets cold beside the Loch, even (10) a warm summer's day

(11) very early times, people have talked (12) monsters in Scotland Nessie was seen first in 565AD when she attacked some travellers (13) were crossing the lake (14) a small boat The first time she was seen recently was in 1933 The people who saw her (15) Mr and Mrs John Mackay The Mackays were local people who just (16) to

be the owners of the only hotel beside the lake The story they (17) was printed in the local newspaper, and from (18) it found its way (19) the London national dailies Hundreds of reporters invaded Drumnadrochit The Mackays' hotel (20) wonderful business

Sometimes, it is a matter of personal indulgence by the (4) rich At other times there can be a commercial objective Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid £9,000 for a magnum - that is, a two-bottle size - of 1864 Lafite He (5) 30 people $1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine It was (6) ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant

Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the (7) value of good wine to pay for his own drinking A syndicate of four will buy a (8) of Lafite 1945 at, say, £2,000 Each takes three bottles Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sell later

at the (9) price as the three cost in the first place That is, naturally, taking inflation into account

But there is no (10) that a bottle of wine at $1,000 is a hundred times (11) than one that costs $10 Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is $100 a bottle Above $100, you are paying for something other than taste
