Unit 3 Life in the future Warming upThis is the first period of this unit. At the beginning of this period, the teacher can spend some time training the students to read new words and expressions. The purpose of this is to offer some new expressions to the students, which are helpful for the students to talk about the topic “life in the future” and to help the students pronounce them correctly.This unit is about life in the future, so the teacher can let the students brainstorm the words or phrases about future. In their minds, what will life in the future be like? The students are free to say anything that they can imagine. They should be encouraged to be brave enough to speak out what they dream. This activity gives Ss a chance to express their imagination. At the same time, this activity can stir the students’ imagination.Later Ss are required to talk in groups of four about the following topic: Think about how many changes there have been in the last one thousand years. Now think about what changes you might expect to find in the next one thousand years in the following aspects: transport, houses, villages, towns, locations and settlement.Then ask students to draw a picture about the topic “my future family”.After that, let some of them show what they have designed in the picture. What’s more, the teacher can ask them why they design it in this way and whether it is possible to realize their dream in the future. If they want such dreams to come true, what should they do now?Apart from the above, the teacher can design a competition. Divide the class into four groups. Each group should work together to list the problems human beings are facing today. Then let them discuss whether what they have listed is reasonable or not. The group, which has listed the most problems, will be the best. Following that competition, the teacher will ask the students to consider what problems people in the future will have to overcome and which ones will still exist there or might be even worse in AD 3005 so as to lead in the text more coherently. The Ss are supposed to analyze the possibilities, and also show their reasons for such imagination.Finally, the teacher had better let the students consider this question “Do you want to live in AD 3005 or today? Why do you prefer to live in AD 3005 or nowadays?”Teaching Important PointsHave the students discuss the changes that have taken place for almost one thousand years and what will happen in the coming one thousand years.Encourage the students to predict what problems people will have to overcome.Understand and learn the following words and expressions: vehicle, carriage, private, settlement, impression, take up, constant, remind, previous, tablet, capsule, surrounding, lack, mask, bend, press, swift, master, lose sight of, catch sight of, sweep, switch, optimistic, length, speed up, extraordinary, helmet, assist in, agency, slip, require.Teaching DifficultiesPredict what changes may take place/be found in the next one thousand years.Teaching AidsCAI equipment with a multi-media classroom and other normal teaching toolsThree Dimensional Teaching AimsKnowledge AimsLearn about the changes that have happened for almost one thousand years and what will happen in the coming one thousand years.List what problems people will have to overcome.Try to understand and learn the following words and expressions: vehicle, carriage, private, settlement, impression, take up, constant, remind, previous, tablet, capsule, surrounding, lack, mask, bend, press, swift, master, lose sight of, catch sight of, sweep, switch, optimistic, length, speed up, extraordinary, helmet, assist in, agency, slip, require.Ability AimsDevelop the students’ ability of speaking.Encourage the students to imagine what will happen in the future to cultivate the students for creativeness.Emotional AimsEncourage the students to be brave enough to imagine what seems impossible today. Let them realize nothing is impossible and we can make the impossible possible. Having courage to imagine sometimes leads to new success and new breakthroughs in the future.Teaching ProcedureStep 1 GreetingT: Hello, my friends.S: Hello, Miss Wang.Step 2 Word PuzzlesT: Open your books to Page 94. Let’s read the words and expressions together.(The students read those words and expressions together. Help them pronounce the new words and expressions correctly. Later give them some time to remember some. If some students are poor in pronunciation, the teacher should give them some more help.)T: Now, listen to me carefully. I will give you some explanations or situations for some words and phrases. When I tell you some meanings or situations, you’d better guess which words or phrases I refer to. Get ready for it. Let’s see who will be the first to find out the correct answers.T: When we go to some place, especially to a place far away from you, what do you need the most?S: VehicleT: Right. You are clever.T: Something belongs to one particular person or group only, which is personal. What is it?S: Private.T: Excellent. Can you use it to make a sentence?S: This is my father’s own private chair, which no one else is allowed to siton.T: What a beautiful sentence. Next one is coming before in time or order. Can you guess what it is?S: I think it is previous.T: Yes. Would you please make a sentence using it?S: We had met on a previous occasion before...T: Good. I like the book very much, but I don’t have enough money on me. What difficulty do I have now?S: You are lacking money.T: You are clever. I can’t buy the book because of lack of money.T: Even if he is in lack of money to buy food to eat and to buy a house to live in, he is still confident and leads an active life. So we can say he is...S: He is optimistic, I think.T: Quite good. He has an optimistic view of events.Step 3 BrainstormingT: As we all know, no one can stop the wheel of history. Our society keeps advancing, so what will happen in the future? Sure you often dream of your beautiful life tomorrow. Now, I’d like to share with yo u what you have imagined about the future. You are free to show your different imaginations.S: People will not have to work, because all of work will be done by machine.S: People will go to space very easily. We can go to other stars just as we visit other cities nowadays.S: People will live forever and no one will die.Ss: ...Fields What will the __________become in thefutureEnergyLanguageFarmFactoryS: In the future people will live in different places. As the population is exploding, more people will prefer to live in faraway places, under the sea or even on the moon.S: In the future people will speak only English and Chinese.S: In the future, people can eat anything. People won’t need to worry about the food problem in the world.S: In the future people can find many ways to deal with pollution, we can live in a better environment. People in the future will explore a new kind of energy, which will never be used up.Step 4 DiscussionT: Just now you offered me a good chance to vividly view a future world. It is full of imagination and wonders. Let’s wait together for it coming asap (as soonas possible).Now let’s try to think about the many changes there have been in the last one thousand years. Then think about what changes you might expect to find in the next one thousand years, especially consider the following fields: transport, houses, villages, towns, location and settlement. I will break you up into several groups. Each group is made up of four students. Discuss it in groups. In five minutes, one student in one group will report what you have discussed.(The teacher had better join in the discussion and give them some guidance when/whenever necessary. After the discussion, some students will come to summarize what the group has discussed.)AD1005: China AD2005: Modern World AD3005: Your ideasTransport By horse or by simplevehicle such as acarriage. By car, by bus, by train,by air, by motorbike, bybike, by maglev, by ship.By spaceship, orcapsule, byadvanced vehicle tobe invented.Houses Made of wood and mud:no bathrooms. Apartment, villa,SiheyuanSpecial houses withadvancedequipment, whichcan be moved to anyplace.Villages Many small houseround a temple and apond. There are many buildingswith gardens, wide roadsand large fields.Farmers needn’t goto work, and theywill live in afolded house witheverything peopleputer willdo anything to helpvillagers.Towns Streets with markets,small shops andprivate houses. There are crowdedskyscrapers on bothsides of main streetswith malls and shoppingcenters.Streets will not ascrowded as now,because the entirevehicle can fly inthe sky.Peoplewill take whateverthey need for free.Location of settlement On the earth; on land On the earth, on land On the moon, on theother planets;under the sea.(In fact, there are no fixed answers to the question what the future will be like.Various answers are possible.)Step 5 Dreaming the Future Family (competition)T: Now, let us have a competition about designing our future family. Four students make up a group to design it. Make a sketch together. After that, some of you will show what you have designed in the picture. Discuss it first and then drawit. You are allowed to finish it in six minutes.(The teacher can join in their designing or just give them some help if necessary.)T: Have you finished it? It’s time for you to show your pictures.Let’s see which group can offer us the most beautiful picture with the most wonderful imagination. What’s more, you will have to describe what you have drawn and why you design it in this way. In the end, you will predict whether it is possible to realize our dream in the future, and analyze why you have such view. The rule is that your group will be given one star when you finish one step. If your design is extremely excellent, you will be praised to get two stars. When you give us a vivid and imaginative description, which is also reasonable, you will also gain two stars for one step. Let’s see which group will do it the best.(The teacher can arrange everyone to take part in this activity. One will show the picture, one will describe it, one will tell us the purpose of designing it. The last one will tell us whether it is possible to realize the dreams.) T: You did an excellent job. If you want such dreams to come true, what should we do now?S: We should work hard to be knowledgeable.S: We had better make efforts to speed up development.S: We will have to get in touch with aliens, who may give us help.S: We should have enough courage to imagine what seems possible now, which may lead to new discoveries and new inventions.Ss: ...Step 6 Discussion (Competition)T: Just now you designed a beautiful dream. But as we know, each coin has two sides. We may meet with some problems in our daily life. Discuss what problems we are facing, and make a list of the problems human beings are facing today. Discuss it in groups.(The teacher had better join in discussion. Then ask some students to come to write problems on the blackboard.)T: Look at the blackboard, and predict which problems will be overcome in the future and find out the ways to solve the problems.(The teacher should encourage the students to use their heads to find out as many ways as possible.)S: I think scientists will invent new medicine to deal with some incurable diseases. People will not suffer from cancer, AIDS and so on.S: There will be no war and people will not experience social and economics unrest. In my opinion, people all over the world will lead a rich and happy life, because our world is being highly developed and all the people will be educated to be friendly and kind to others.Ss: ...T: I am proud of your outstanding imagination. Can you tell me which problems will still be there or even worse in AD 3005?Why do you think so? You are expected to discuss in groups. If what you will present is reasonable and excellent, you willbe offered three stars.(The students should be given five minutes to discuss them. Later exchange them with the whole class.)S: I think pollution will still be a problem in the future, which will be even worse. Because population will be larger and larger, in turn, more pollution will be caused.S: The balance of nature will be destroyed worse and worse, because a large number of animals and plants are dying out day by day. As a consequence, human beings will be endangered.Ss: ...T: Good, you know. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. What should we do to make sure we will have a bright future?S: We should study hard and be a lifelong learners.T: Good. We should be lifelong learners and accept the change, appreciate what is new and different, making great efforts to make our dreams come true.Step 7 Sum upT: In this period, we have talked a lot about future. You are full of imagination and clever. In class, you are also active. So all of us bring me vivid pictures and let me preview what the future is like. After class, write a passage about the future. You are free to write what you are interested in. The title is “Future in my eyes”.The Design of the Writing on the BlackboardUnit 3 Life in the futurePeriod 1 Welcome to the UnitBrainstormingResearch and ActivitiesImaginationOne day, you are walking through a forest alone. Suddenly, you happen to meet a strange man who lives in AD 3005.At first sight, you find him kind and friendly, so you come to have a talk with him. You are talking about the way of life, transport, houses, villages, towns, locations of settlement, education, culture and customs. Now, imagine and write down the dialogue.Reference for TeachingThe fastest electric vehicleLast week an electric and speed vehicle designed by a Ohio State University’s undergraduate, set new US and International land speed records for electric vehicles—308 mph and 271 mph respectively.HousingIn rural areas the floors of dwellings consist of pounded earth or concrete, or else of raised wood floors, while wooden framing supports walls of woven bamboo matting, and the roofs are of dried palm fiber or tiles. In urban areas floors are of cement or tile, the framing of the dwellings is of teak, the walls are of brick and plaster, and the roofs of tile or shingle. Although most of the population is nonurban, the major housing problems are in the cities, where new arrivals crowd into squalid slums. In their desire to escape the restraints of the traditional rural life and seek the opportunities of the cities, most immigrants find living conditions that are less attractive than those of the country.Jakarta is the most modern city in Indonesia and also the one with the greatest problems. It lacks a dependable supply of electricity, gas, and water, an adequate telephone system, a waste-disposal system, and adequate school and health facilities. There is a severe housing shortage, with the gap being filled by substandard, temporary housing that does not require building permits.Subsidized housing is provided largely by employers, including government ministries, for a limited number of key employees, although efforts by the government are being made to provide more low-cost housing to a wider group of people.Life in 2060Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060.Let’s make believe it is about sixty years from now①.Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then②.People are now largely vegetarians (素食者).You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases.No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.注释..................① Let’s make believe it is about sixty years from now.让我们假设现在是大约60年以后。

Life in the futureI still cannot believe that I am taking up my prize that was won last year. I have to constantly rub my eyes to remind myself that I have traveled to the year AD 3005. Worried about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days. As a result, I suffered from “time lag”. This is similar to the “jet lag” you get when flying, but instead it means you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period. So I felt very nervous and uncertain at first. My friend and guide, Wang Ping, was very understanding and gave me some green tablets, which helped a lot. Well-known for their expertise, his parents’ company named “Future Tours”transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.The six of us were called to the capsule together and climbed in through the round opening. The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink, which made us sleepy. Our eyes closed. The capsule shook as we lay relaxed by our dreams. Sounds came from below our feet as we rose slowly from the ground. Swinging gently. A few minutes later the journey was completed and we had arrived. I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future. What would I find?Confused by the new surrounding. I was hit by the lack of fresh air. My head ached. The air seemed thin as though its combination of gases had little oxygen left. Just then Wang Ping appeared and solved the problem. “Put on this mask,”he advised. “It will make you feel much better,” He handed it to me and immediately hurried me through to a small room nearby for me to rest. I felt better in no time. Soon I was back on my feet again and followed him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer. These hovering carriages float above the ground and by bending and pressing down on the driving stick strongly one can move swiftly. It took me only a few minutes to master the idea and soon I could fly as fast as Wang Ping. I got lost when we reached what looked like a large market because of the people flying by in all directions. There were so many carriages that I lost sight of Wang Ping. He was swept up into the centre of them and my link with him was broken as I was carried up to the top of a high building nearby. Just at that moment I had a “time lag”flashback. I saw the area again as it had been in the year AD 2005. I realized I had been transported into the future but was still in my own hometown. Just then I caught sight of Wang Ping and flew after him.Arriving home, he showed me into a large bright, clean room, It had a green wall, a brown floor and soft lighting. Then the wall moved—there were treesl I found later that their leaves provided the house with much-needed oxygen Wang Ping’s motherappeared, flashed a switch on a computer screen, and a table and chairs rose from under the floor as if by magic. “Why not sit down and rest?” she said, ”My name is Li Mengxi, Wang Ping’s mother. You may find it difficult as this is your first time travel trip. Just relax as there is plenty of oxygen here. Tomorrow you will by ready for some visits organized by the company.”Spreading some food on the table, she produced a bed from the floor. Exhausted, I slid into bed and fell fast asleep.。

Sea City - circa 1971Information provided from the TV21 Annual 1971, published by Century 21, UK.This exact model is even equipped with miniature ships and jetties.Dogger Bank lies twenty-five miles out in the North Sea between the winkle-stalls of Great Yarmouth's seafront and the towering drilling-rigs of the Hewett offshore natural gas fields.Man is fast running out of living space. Only a quarter of our planet is dry land; the rest is ocean. And our growing numbers are filling that quarter to bursting-point. We have to find a new place to live if we are to survive. There are three choices: on other planets, underground, and on the sea. The last of these seems the easiest choice. With this in mind, the idea of Sea City has been born - and what a fantastic idea it is! The architects who have planned this amazing place have built beautiful scale models to show what they have in mind. Looking at the models, our thoughts catapult us into the future - to the day when Sea City could be a reality ...Clouds superimposed on a screen behind the illuminated model give a realistic impression of Sea City at dusk.The hoverferry from Great Yarmouth skims across the choppy sea and within minutes of embarking the gaunt outline of Sea City appears on the horizon. Our first impression is of a great curving concrete wall, stark and white, sweeping upwards and outwards from the grey sea. How beautiful it is-but how grim and inhospitable, too! Surely, 30,000 people can't live in a fortress like this?Artist's impression of an inside view of Sea City, with islands and terraces.But then the hoverferry reaches a gap in the wall of concrete-and we see how wrong our first impression was. Inside the egg-shaped outer wall, sixteen tiers of gleaming, glass-fronted houses curve dramatically down to the smooth surface of thewater. Their glittering lights reflect like a fireworks display on this sheltered lagoon. Dozens of triangular buildings float gently on the water, strung together by pedestrian walk-ways at first-floor level. All around us we see shopping centres, schools, churches and green parks. Sleek little water-buses dart about like dodgems at a fair.The islands inside the lagoon would comprise of six triangles, each 120 feet long with flood tanks to keep the sections level according to the building load carried.The air is clean and fresh as we walk from the ferry to one of the fast elevators that will take us up to our new home - a seven-room flat built high into the inside of the outer concrete wall. But it is a flat with a difference - quite unlike anything that we have seen on the mainland. One wall is built entirely of reinforced glass - giving us a fantastic view of the city. There is even a garden of our own in which to relax and sunbathe in complete privacy. Automation is complete; air-conditioning, central heating, TV in every room. There's even an automatic waste-removal system to save Mum the trouble of putting out a dustbin once a week. All she has to do is pop the rubbish down a chute in the kitchen and a conveyor-belt below takes it away silently.Sea City would even have its own football stadium (to background) and a Marine Zoo (floating, wedge-shaped buildings, to foreground).It doesn't take us long to realize what a wonderful place Sea City is for young people. Take youth clubs. Instead of the dingy old hall we were used to on the mainland there are no less than eight specially designed youth centres, each one with full sport and entertainment facilities built in. There is a huge football stadium with covered-in seating for all spectators, built on top of the outer wall. (With a ground like this, Sea City United will be top of Division One in no time at all!) Then there are the water-sporting facilities. Fabulous! A huge boating-lake covers part of the inner lagoon, and there are special mooring points under the houses for our yachts and motor-boats.On top of all this there are many public gardens, two theatres, a cinema, six churches and no less than fourteen restaurants. (There are also twenty-seven schools, but you don't want to know about those!) The biggest attraction of all is the Marine Zoo, an extra-ordinary place built half under the water, where we can watch strange creatures of the sea living in their natural conditions. Sea City is a wonderful place for Mum and Dad, too. Gleaming shopping arcades span the south side of the city, all under cover so that Mum doesn't get wet when she's staggering home with the week's provisions on a rainy day.There's plenty of work close at hand for Dad. In the city itself are fish-farming plants, sand and ballast centres (these valuable building materials are dredged up from the ocean bed below), freshwater production plants and Marine Study Laboratories. If none of these suit him, Great Yarmouth - with its growing industry - is only a few minutes away by hoverferry.A cross-section of Sea City's wall revealing the power complex.Life on Sea City sounds great, all right - but what about the howling gales and crashing waves that have made many a North Sea traveller never want to leave dry land again? Won't these things make life in Sea City impossible after all?The answer is that they won't - for the architects who designed the city have learnt a lesson from the builders of medieval towns. Just as Sea City will be threatened from the outside by wind and waves, so towns in the Middle Ages were threatened by attacking armies. These armies were kept at bay by two lines of defence. The main one was a strong wall, twelve-foot thick and with firm foundations. In the same way, Sea City protects itself with that massive structure of reinforced concrete, specially curved to deflect the wind above it.But the wall-builders of ancient times knew that one line of defence was not enough. However strong it was, attack after attack with a battering ram would eventually knock it down. So they devised a very clever way of limiting the force with which the attackers could strike their wall. They called it a moat.In just the same way, the planners of Sea City knew that their wall of concrete would soon be brought down if the great waves were not checked before they crashed up against it. So they built a 20th-century version of the medieval moat.All around the city, except for a gap to let ships through (just like a drawbridge), stretches a line of sausage-shaped canisters. These are positioned at some distance from the wall, and being part-filled with fresh water float low in the sea. They are enough to break the back of the giant waves coming crashing in, reducing them to harmless ripples by the time they reach the wall.Oh, yes! Sea City is a possibility all right. It could be started tomorrow if the money were readily available.The transportation area (foreground) would link Sea City with the mainland.Perhaps, during your lifetime, you will have the choice to live on the land-or to live on the sea. If you like fishing, sailing or swimming, then one day you might find yourself standing on the Great Yarmouth hoverferry terminal with a one-way ticket to Sea City!。

For instance, animals’ cries do not 34 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 35 us to divide a human utterance into 36.We can change an utterance by 37 one word in it with 38 : a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 39 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 40 means “danger!”This is why the number of 41 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit(山雀) is a case 42 point; it has about twenty different calls, 43 in human language the number of possible utterances is 44 . It also explains why animal cries are very 45 in meaning.26．A．classification B．definition C．function D．perception 27．A．that B．it C．as D．what28．A．native B．human C．mental D．animal29．A．ways B．means C．methods D．approaches 30．A．excited B．exciting C．warning D．boring31．A．same B．exciting C．different D．unfamiliar 32．A．But B．Therefore C．Afterwards D．Furthermore 33．A．about B．with C．from D．in34．A．infer B．explain C．interpret D．express 35．A．encourages B．enables C．enlarges D．ensures 36．A．speeches B．sounds C．words D．voices 37．A．replacing B．spelling C．pronouncing D．saying38．A．ours B．theirs C．another D．others39．A．so B．and C．but D．or40．A．this B．that C．which D．it41．A．signs B．gestures C．signals D．marks42．A．in B．at C．of D．for 43．A．whereas B．since C．anyhow D．somehow 44．A．worthless B．changeable C．limitless D．valueless 45．A．ordinary B．alike C．common D．generalIII. 阅读理解In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.One possible solution to the problem would be to impose(实行) registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce(推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment(不满), which would ultimately lead to violence.The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.64．What does the word “urban” (Line3, Para. 3) mean?A．Of the city. B．Out of work.C．In a bad condition. D．Of enormous size.65．Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because ____________.A．they can hardly support their families on farms.B．they are unhappy with their life in the countryC．the rural areas are too crowded with peopleD．they hope to have their own business66．In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is ____A．practical B．possible C．not realistic D．not sufficient67．According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if ________.A．traditional methods of farming are well keptB．conditions in rural areas are much improvedC．the government can provide more jobsD．violence could be controlled in citiesIV. 写作据报道，2008 年北京奥运会将选拔约10万名志愿者为之服务。

The Future of MedicineIn my 55 years as a physician, I've seen my share of what modern medicine can do. During the 40 years when I was a pediatric surgeon, I saw 95% mortality rates for congenital defects transformed into 95% survival rates because of what surgery can accomplish. As U.S. Surgeon General, I saw effective prevention and treatment techniques beat back the mortality from tobacco use and AIDS. And now, as an 85-year-old, my life has been prolonged and kept active by wonder drugs unknown to my parents. So it's been somewhat surprising in this era of triumph for modern medicine to see the rapid growth of alternative/complementary medicine, which is used by as many as one in three Americans. Although most of those still refrain from informing their regular physicians about that use, there is a growing tendency among physicians to acknowledge and even embrace certain forms of alternative/complementary medicine.Changes in the use of the terms "alternative" and "complementary" suggest the shape of this shift. At first, it was called simply "alternative medicine," reflecting a dissatisfaction with regular medicine as well as a cultural rebellion against the biomedical community. In more recent years, several studies indicate that there has been a shift from "alternative" therapies to "complementary" therapies, adopted not in opposition to regular medicine but in alliance with it. And increasingly those who use one of the many forms of complementary medicine are not treating a specific medical problem. Rather, they are practicing prevention in ways they find more congruent with their philosophical values or lifestyle.Now I think we may be seeing another refinement, one that is taking us from "complementary" to "safe and effective." For some people, the appeal of alternative medicine lies in its alternative stance, and as some of these therapies enter the mainstream, some of these individuals may seek other alternative practices. But more and more Americans are demanding greater certainty from alternative or complementary products as an increasing number of press reports document health problems resulting from certain natural products and complementary practices. Thus, the baby-boom health consciousness that led to the resurgence of alternative/complementary medicine now turns toward solutions that rest more heavily on science. We went through a somewhat similar passage a century ago, when dissatisfaction with regular medicine and a growing consumer market in health products led to the widespread useof a variety of nostrums and patent medicines; some no doubt helpful, some merely enjoyable, and some downright dangerous. At that time, journalists and the public pressed for scientific research to support proper branding and safety, culminating in the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Much later, evidence of effectiveness was added to the list. Some among the sellers and buyers of health products objected at first to the intrusion of research-based evaluation into the health market, but soon both came to profit from increased consumer confidence in those health products.For too long, the natural health products industry has kept its distance from medical research and from clinical medical practice, focusing instead on the short-term marketing advantages derived from keeping herbal and nutritional remedies exempt from any Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of efficacy. A wiser approach would be for the natural products industry to work with medical research, including the FDA, so that consumers and medical practitioners could be warned about potential harm and assured that the claimed health benefits were really there. Although the growth in the use of alternative/complementary medicine is likely to continue, recent surveys and market data confirm a growing American concern about safety. In this new climate of national wariness and concern for personal safety, those interested in selling and buying natural products associated with complementary medicine will be better off in the long run if reliable research is able to certify their safety and efficacy. As America's baby boomers become senior citizens, the health care system needs the relief provided by effective prevention of disease and disability. There is a potential role for some complementary therapies and natural health products in preparing us to meet the challenges of the 21st century. But it can only be played if that industry and its proponents are prepared to meet real scientific and regulatory tests of safety and effectiveness.。

Sea City - circa 1971Information provided from the TV21 Annual 1971, published by Century 21, UK.This exact model is even equipped with miniature ships and jetties.Dogger Bank lies twenty-five miles out in the North Sea between the winkle-stalls of Great Yarmouth's seafront and the towering drilling-rigs of the Hewett offshore natural gas fields.Man is fast running out of living space. Only a quarter of our planet is dry land; the rest is ocean. And our growing numbers are filling that quarter to bursting-point. We have to find a new place to live if we are to survive. There are three choices: on other planets, underground, and on the sea. The last of these seems the easiest choice. With this in mind, the idea of Sea City has been born - and what a fantastic idea it is! The architects who have planned this amazing place have built beautiful scale models to show what they have in mind. Looking at the models, our thoughts catapult us into the future - to the day when Sea City could be a reality ...Clouds superimposed on a screen behind the illuminated model give a realistic impression of Sea City at dusk.The hoverferry from Great Yarmouth skims across the choppy sea and within minutes of embarking the gaunt outline of Sea City appears on the horizon. Our first impression is of a great curving concrete wall, stark and white, sweeping upwards and outwards from the grey sea. How beautiful it is-but how grim and inhospitable, too! Surely, 30,000 people can't live in a fortress like this?Artist's impression of an inside view of Sea City, with islands and terraces.But then the hoverferry reaches a gap in the wall of concrete-and we see how wrong our first impression was. Inside the egg-shaped outer wall, sixteen tiers of gleaming, glass-fronted houses curve dramatically down to the smooth surface of thewater. Their glittering lights reflect like a fireworks display on this sheltered lagoon. Dozens of triangular buildings float gently on the water, strung together by pedestrian walk-ways at first-floor level. All around us we see shopping centres, schools, churches and green parks. Sleek little water-buses dart about like dodgems at a fair.The islands inside the lagoon would comprise of six triangles, each 120 feet long with flood tanks to keep the sections level according to the building load carried.The air is clean and fresh as we walk from the ferry to one of the fast elevators that will take us up to our new home - a seven-room flat built high into the inside of the outer concrete wall. But it is a flat with a difference - quite unlike anything that we have seen on the mainland. One wall is built entirely of reinforced glass - giving us a fantastic view of the city. There is even a garden of our own in which to relax and sunbathe in complete privacy. Automation is complete; air-conditioning, central heating, TV in every room. There's even an automatic waste-removal system to save Mum the trouble of putting out a dustbin once a week. All she has to do is pop the rubbish down a chute in the kitchen and a conveyor-belt below takes it away silently.Sea City would even have its own football stadium (to background) and a Marine Zoo (floating, wedge-shaped buildings, to foreground).It doesn't take us long to realize what a wonderful place Sea City is for young people. Take youth clubs. Instead of the dingy old hall we were used to on the mainland there are no less than eight specially designed youth centres, each one with full sport and entertainment facilities built in. There is a huge football stadium with covered-in seating for all spectators, built on top of the outer wall. (With a ground like this, Sea City United will be top of Division One in no time at all!) Then there are the water-sporting facilities. Fabulous! A huge boating-lake covers part of the inner lagoon, and there are special mooring points under the houses for our yachts and motor-boats.On top of all this there are many public gardens, two theatres, a cinema, six churches and no less than fourteen restaurants. (There are also twenty-seven schools, but you don't want to know about those!) The biggest attraction of all is the Marine Zoo, an extra-ordinary place built half under the water, where we can watch strange creatures of the sea living in their natural conditions. Sea City is a wonderful place for Mum and Dad, too. Gleaming shopping arcades span the south side of the city, all under cover so that Mum doesn't get wet when she's staggering home with the week's provisions on a rainy day.There's plenty of work close at hand for Dad. In the city itself are fish-farming plants, sand and ballast centres (these valuable building materials are dredged up from the ocean bed below), freshwater production plants and Marine Study Laboratories. If none of these suit him, Great Yarmouth - with its growing industry - is only a few minutes away by hoverferry.A cross-section of Sea City's wall revealing the power complex.Life on Sea City sounds great, all right - but what about the howling gales and crashing waves that have made many a North Sea traveller never want to leave dry land again? Won't these things make life in Sea City impossible after all?The answer is that they won't - for the architects who designed the city have learnt a lesson from the builders of medieval towns. Just as Sea City will be threatened from the outside by wind and waves, so towns in the Middle Ages were threatened by attacking armies. These armies were kept at bay by two lines of defence. The main one was a strong wall, twelve-foot thick and with firm foundations. In the same way, Sea City protects itself with that massive structure of reinforced concrete, specially curved to deflect the wind above it.But the wall-builders of ancient times knew that one line of defence was not enough. However strong it was, attack after attack with a battering ram would eventually knock it down. So they devised a very clever way of limiting the force with which the attackers could strike their wall. They called it a moat.In just the same way, the planners of Sea City knew that their wall of concrete would soon be brought down if the great waves were not checked before they crashed up against it. So they built a 20th-century version of the medieval moat.All around the city, except for a gap to let ships through (just like a drawbridge), stretches a line of sausage-shaped canisters. These are positioned at some distance from the wall, and being part-filled with fresh water float low in the sea. They are enough to break the back of the giant waves coming crashing in, reducing them to harmless ripples by the time they reach the wall.Oh, yes! Sea City is a possibility all right. It could be started tomorrow if the money were readily available.The transportation area (foreground) would link Sea City with the mainland.Perhaps, during your lifetime, you will have the choice to live on the land-or to live on the sea. If you like fishing, sailing or swimming, then one day you might find yourself standing on the Great Yarmouth hoverferry terminal with a one-way ticket to Sea City!。
