passage one !Nl.Vb
Although speech and writing are the special means of communicating ofhumans,the interchange also takes place in many other ways.A person may relayhis or her feelings,thoughts and reactions through body positioning,bodycontact,body odors,eye contatct,responsive actions,habitsattitudes,interests,state of health ,dress and grooming,choice iflife-style,and use of talents—in fact,through everything the individual says ordoes. 'K`Rbhy
Inturn,every person is constantly receiving multitudes of external and internalmessages through his or her five sense and personal biorhythmsystem. Anindividual screens,selects,regulates,and controls specific aspects of thisinformation through a process of mental choices.Some of these choices areautomatic;some are subconscious because of habit,block,or lack of development;and some are made by a conscious process. The degree to which a person is ableto communicate depends upon the extent of his or her consciousawarness,priority of need,and control of this process. )R8%'X;U
Theperson with a behavior disorder is shut off from the communicative flow thatnormally exists among humans.His or her mind is confused,and he or she may feelunable to express personal thoughts,need,and emotions,and that he or she iscommunicating clearly but that others cannot or will not understand.Because theperson is thus isolated in internal problems,he or she is interested only in these problems and cannotfocus attention on the messages of others.The person often projects fears andfantasies onto others,so that no matter what the real content is of themessages that others relay,the messages received are threatening ones. EEs-&
Thecause of such communicative shutoffs are blocks in the neural pathways of theperson’s processing of information.Sometimes a block is physical,as indeafness,mental retardation,brain tumor ,or hardening of the cerebralarteries.However,the most common causes of blocks are injuries to a person’semotional system. Z%5nVsm:G
Emotional blocks occur to some degree in all human beings.They usuallyoccur in childhood before good communicatives skills are learned,and they areconnected to individual symbolism.Unless such a block is removed shortly afterhappening,it can have profound and complicating effects that will distortemotional and mental growth and arrest the development potential of theindividual.Even though a child with blocks will appear to grow and to seemmature in some ways,he or she will show the evidence of emotional blocking inefforts to communicate.

passage 2 #
0GGc.
Despression is a state of low vitality and discontent with life in whichthe individual withdraws from normal life activities even to the point ofconsidering death as an attractive alternative. )L |tn
Although everyone experiences “the blues”or periods of low spirits whennothing in life seems to go well,when everything seems to be an effort,and whenefforts lead to frustration,these periods are usually brief and are likely tooccur when the person is tired,hungry,lonely,or sick.Rest,good food,talkingwith friends,some fun/or an end to the sickness are usually enough to cure theblues.But when the low spirits persist,or when there are large swings in moodfrom elation to desolation,when nothing seems to catch the interest of theperson,when relatives of friends cannot cheer the person and he or shecontinuous to withdraw,then the person is depressed. aKv[
Even such depressions are normal undercertain circumstances.Anyone who is faced with a serious and painful illness orthe loss of a limb,is exhausted by repeated narrow escapes from death(such asoccurs in wartime),has been exposed to a dehumanizing environment(such as occurred with the Jews inNazi Germany),has had anoverwhelming series of stressful setbacks,or has experienced the death ofseveral family members within a shor time is expected to be depressed. Q[J [=
However,there are many depressed people whoseem to the casual observer to have no reason to be depressed.Depression underthese circumstances stems from severe behavior disturbance in which the personsees himself or herself as worthless.Such image is usually the result of thepsychosocical conditioning of a childhood deprived of a parental role model ofsecurity, love,care,and attention essential for the development of trustingrelationships.The depressed person needs to build a new image of himself orherself as a useful and needed person.Psychotherapy is often helpful inrestoring natural inner confidence and capacity for meaningful and trustingrelationships. \6 \hnP
The depressed person can find little beautyor fun in life.His or her talk is filled with gloomy negatives.Doom and anxietyfill his or her mind.Depression is often cyclical,and when the anxiety doeslift the person may demonstrate an opposite extreme of carefree irresponsibility. 8jy-z"jc
Although it often takes years of psychotherapyfor the individual to work through the underlying suspicion and anger of his orher problems,acceptance by another will get through to even the most deeplydepressed person if the other is sincere.An attitude of matter-of-facthopefulness on the part of those around the depressed person can reassure himor her of eventual recovery. rDVgk6
The disturbed thoughts of the depressedperson cannot be forgotten until they are replaced by other thoughts.Yet,indepression,the person does not see that he or she has choices about whatthoughts occupy his or her mind.The person needs to explore alternatives forthoughts and actions and learn to care for himself or herself enough to modifyhis or her own behavior. h?0F-6z

Passage 3 thuRNYv<
Seana lived in the inpatient hospice unit for more than a month,farlonger than anyone would have predicted,sustained only on pain medications andPopsicles. IU|kNBo
Late March in Chicago is only technically spring.Most of the time it isstill cold and overcast.However,this day was warm,60 degrees and sunny.It was aSaturday and we planned to go outside after I finished rounds.I found Seanaback on the unit sitting in her wheelchair, = 4 \* ROMAN IV pole and pumps in tow,her winter coat partially covering hospitalgown.Her sister-in-law and Carla,her nurse’s aide,wer ready to go.Everyone wasin a great mood. Yt+h2ft!
Wewent down the elevator,into the brightly sunlit outdoors,and onto the drivewayby the women’s hospital.Though the initial idea was to just sit in the sun abit,we were drawn toward the sidewalk.There were the usual smokers outside thehospital,and the smell of cigarette smoke was the first thing I noticed.Itseemed horrible to come out here,to have that smell be the first thing to greetSeana.Simultaneous with that thought,though, she said,“What a wonderful smell!”I adked her what smell was sowonderful and she said that it smelled like McDonald’s.I was thinking,shereally does appreciate everything.We went on to the sidewalk and watched afather pitching a ball to his 4-year-old son.The continuity between grnerationswas moving,almost beyond words.As we got to the corner,an inspiration came:wecould make it to Lake Michigan,only a few blocks away.Did she want to try?Dideveryone want to try?Of course we did!Carla said that it felt like we werecutting school.So off we went ,across Sheridan Road,the four of us quite amotley sight:Seana looking like death warmed over in her wheelchair,I wearingmy gray hospital coat,the nurse’s aede in an outrageous green leather coat,hersister-in-law in an Ohio State sweatshirt.Cars slowed down;we waved.We walkedup the road to the beach,cutting through rutted lawns,the wheelchair bumping inthe spring mud.Seana didn’t say much,but she seemed translucent in thesun,beaming,lit from within.I imagined it as her farewell tour of the world.Ican only fathom the poignant wealth of feelingsthat were stimulated.For me ,it evoked the sense of being a tourist,whereeverything seems special,a little strange,and very impermanent.I hadexperienced this same lakefront that way three years before.Then,I had justrecovered from my own near death in the form of a myocardial infarction andcardiac arrest and was filled with joy and gratitude that I was still here.Theworld looked new. g:_hj_1Y M

Passage 4 bT)]'(Xy
Two equally brilliant scientists apply fora prestigious research fellowship awarded by a top scientific prganization.Oneis white,the other black.Does the color of their skin matter? *?t%0){
Most scientists will already be screaming aresounding “no”. Those who progress in science do so because of their work,nottheir pigmentation.Sceince is meritocratic and objective. It must therefore berigorously color-blind and shun both racial discrimination and affirmativeaction. }%TPYc
Well,lit’s think about this.If science reallyis so meritocratic,where are all the black Nobel prize winners and fellows ofthe Royal Society?The black chairs of government scientific panels?The blackRichard Dawkinses and Susan Greenfidlds?When Newsweek magazine recentlysurveyed Europe’s largest 100 companies it was shocked to unearth, only sixboard members of non-European racial origin.One shudders to think what asimilar survey of the upper echelons of European science would reveal. KxzYfH
Even the usually stick-in-the-mud Britishgovernment now acknowledges there is a problem .Last month it promised newfunding for projects desighed to combat institutional racism in scienceeducation in schools.As measures go it is little and late,but welcomenonetheless.Despite starting school as the top achievers,black British childrenhave long underperformed in science. SA;#aj}rV
And there are positive changes afoot higherup the scientific career ladder too.At present,few scientific organizations,funding bodies or labs in Europe bother even to track the racial backgroundsof those they hire or fund.As a result the full scale of theunder-representation problem is hidden.Not for much longer.Britain’s newlyamended Race Relations Act requires all government bodies,including fundingcouncils,to track the effects of their activities on different ethnic groupsand ensure that all benefit equally.And next year a European Union directivewill push all EU employers this way too. %lw! e
But ethnic monitoring alone will not createthe black role models European science so badly needs.Something else isneeded.Funding agencies and influentialorganizations like the Royal Societymust bite the bullet of affirmative action.That means ring-fencing fellowshipsand grants for applicants from particular racial backgrounds.And it meansseeking out those who have broken through the barriers of race and giving thempreference over their equally well-qualified white peers for positions ofinfluence and places in the spotlight. R=]d
%L8
Tokenism and fine sentiments will no longerdo.With other professions having already leapt ahead in this area,the enduringwhiteness of science is more than an embarrassment:it is a barrier to its verycredibility. If a large segment of Europe’sschoolchildren never see a scientist who looks like them,they will continue tothink science is not for them.And if scientists don’t reflect the multifarcialsocieties they live in,they’ll find it hard to win the public trust they crave.
