Acupuncture is a Chinese method of treating illnesses by inserting needles into certain points of the body. The
idea is that this restores the natural balance of energy, __(34)__ is disturbed when a person is ill. The origins of
this therapy have been traced back over five thousand years, but it only began to be accepted in the West in the
1970s.
In 1971, James Reston, a well-known journalist from the New York Times, was visiting China when he
developed appendicitis. He was operated __(35)__ in a hospital in Peking, where the doctors used acupuncture
to relieve his pain. Reston was surprised at how __(36)__ it was, and wrote about it in an article for the
newspaper.
Soon afterwards, Chairman Mao Tse-tung invited a group of distinguished Western doctors over to China to
witness for themselves that __(37)__ worked. They were accompanied by television crews, and soon viewers in
the West were watching operations being carried out on patients with acupuncture needles sticking out of them.
The patients felt no pain.
The Western experts were a little embarrassed at what they saw, because they had __(38)__ ridiculed the idea
that patients could be treated with needles. But now they were forced to admit that it actually worked, and
acupuncture became a popular form of therapy.

[CLV] Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
There are many different metaphors used to describe culture. My favorite one is the iceberg. I think, it
demonstrates so vividly what can happen to us if we believe only in the visible and ignore or underestimate the
invisible part. The hidden part of our culture is that part which we know instinctively because we absorbed it from
childhood on. It's handed down to us from generation to generation. We could also say, it's the "thinking" and
"feeling" part of culture: habits, assumptions, attitudes, desires, values, tastes, etc.
Now, if we are in a new culture, our customary evaluations and interpretations are likely not to be on target
because we see everything through our own cultural glasses. Imagine yourself in a new city trying to get around
with a map from your own hometown. It wouldn't take long for you to get lost and completely frustrated! When
we experience an encounter in the new culture that puzzles us, the most common reaction is to judge it through
our own cultural glasses.
I want to propose an alternate approach to our initial gut reaction. Instead of immediately and instinctively
judging a situation through our own glasses, we might first just pause and notice what is happening and then
realize that this is a cultural learning situation. Remember the iceberg metaphor! The new culture becomes your
mirror that shows you a hidden part of your own culture. What an opportunity for personal growth and new
insight! You can compare two different approaches, that of the new culture and of your own culture. This gives
you a choice. Now you can decide what fits best for you or even take the best from both sides.

correct answer to each of the questions.
Simply put, children are not equipped to manage life on their own. After all, children can’t earn income and
provide for their own economic security. They need a stable home and strong parents who are committed to
their well-being. Children need to feel safe and protected to engage in a healthy way with the world.
When children feel protected, they can enjoy the magic and wonder of childhood. They won’t need to
waste energy worrying about issues that they can’t control and can engage in meaningful play and favorite
pastimes. If difficulties do arise, children can trust that their parents will handle those issues as well.
While physical protection is important, don’t overlook the importance of family providing emotional
protection. You may have concerns about finances, the health of aging family members, or the stability of your
employment. These are common concerns for adults, but it’s usually best to shield children from unnecessary
burdens that they have little or no influence over. By doing so, you give them better odds of being able to

shoulder the emotional burdens that are typical for their age - keeping up with homework, making new friends,
and so forth.
What if a serious issue arises? While it may be necessary to involve them at some point, it should be done
in a way that is age-appropriate, and only after you have discussed the issue with your partner, spouse, or other
adults. Make sure such conversations are not able to be overheard by children. Then, when it’s time to discuss
the concern with them, limit the details to those that are appropriate, while answering their questions honestly.
In doing so, you’ll help your children feel secure and loved.
When serious difficulties arise, seek support from trusted friends and family to ensure you have enough
time for self-care and reflection. Taking care of yourself is key to ensuring that you can be a sensitive and loving
parent when your children need you most.
