题目内容

　　The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback．Modern holistic medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient，not just the disease．It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness．The most important influences on today’s holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, both of which promoted whole body health．

　　Holistic medicine usually combines diet，physical exercise and meditation, together with other alternative techniques such as massage(按摩)and acupuncture(针灸)．Herbal treatment，a practice of treating illness by using plants, is influenced by the writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine．Homeopathy(顺势疗法)is one of the forms of holistic medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA．Homeopathy began in Germany in the early 1800s, when Samuel Hahnemann described how very tiny doses(剂量)of a drug had an effect on his patients．According to Hahnemann, the more the drug was diluted(稀释)，the stronger its effects．The substance selected would produce similar effects to the disease itself if given in large doses．In the UK homeopathy is regarded as a non-traditional but just about acceptable treatment．

　　Meditation and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine．They were brought to Europe by Indian teachers who combined Indian Ayurvedic medicine with Western beliefs．Transcendental meditation(超脱静坐)is one of the best known of these techniques．People repeat words inside their head to reach a state of deep relaxation．

　　The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient，not just the disease．Life-style, emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person’s health．Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet, exercise and fresh air，all of which contribute to health．Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments，so that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them．One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure a doctor is reliable．To solve this，many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies．

　　For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub．Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news．

　　As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved．Many of them have become historic sites．The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England．

　　However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society．On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire．There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price．

　　That’s how things used to be．Things are beginning to change．It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩)is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business．People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer．Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs．

　　This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm．Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly．The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities．

　　In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market．British pubs now offer something for everyone．A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter．Today, however, women can freely enter 99％ of pubs without experiencing any problems．Perhaps things are changing for the better after all．
