Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures”or “folk medicine”in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs （草药）. These folk healers (治疗者) also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find some-thing that seems to work, and then they keep doing that.Folk medicine flourished （盛行）long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.The third kind is called “health spas” or “faith healing”. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines （神殿）for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going tothese places may be just the right way to make you feel better.67.

An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的）university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness．Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively．He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes．In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour．In contrast, in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour．Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time．In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12：00；many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questions．While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late．71. The word‘punctual’most probably means________.A．1eaving soon after class B．coming early C．arriving a few minutes late D．being on time 72. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’behavior?A．He felt puzzled at the students’ being late．B．He felt angry at the students' rudeness．C．He wanted to make the students come on time later．D．He wanted to collect data for one of his studies．73. It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that____．A．American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB．neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC．being late in one culture may not be considered so in another cultureD．Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time74. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil____.A．it is important to arrive at the appointed time B．it is rude to keep the professor staying after classC．it is normal for students to leave during lectures D．it is acceptable for professors to be late for class．75. What is the main idea of this passage?A．It is important to be on time for class in the United States．B.
