How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them

With adults learning a foreign language，we often find this interesting fact．A little child without

knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language．A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers，in most cases，may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland．What accounts for tllis difference?

   Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself，partly in the  behaviour of the people around him．In the first place，the time of learning the mother tongue  in the most favorable of all，namely，the first years of hfe．A child hears it spoken from morning till night and，what is more important，always in its genuine form，with the right pronunciation，rightIntonation，right use of words and right structure．He drinks in all the words and expressions which come  to him in a hsh．ever—bubbhng spring．There is no resistance：there is perfect assimilation．

  Then the child has，as it were，private lessons all the year round，while an adult language—

student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others．The child

has another advantage：he hears the language in all possible situations，always accompanied by the

right kind of gestures and facial expressions．Here there is nothing unnatural，such as is often found

In  language lessons in schools，when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January  And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him．Again and again，when his attempts at speech a聪successful，his desires are understood and fulfilled．

  Finally，though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching，their re-

lations with him are always close and personal．ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy．

　　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 and acupuncture. 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 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 that a doctor is reliable. To solve this，many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies.

Last Sep.11 was an important day too. After unknown gunmen attacked aid workers from the Nobel Prize-winning Medecins sans Frontieres at a roadblock on that day , most of the international aid groups helping Darfur’s 6 million people stopped using the roads . On Dec.18 , unknown gunmen attacked the southern town of Gereida. More than 70 aid workers then pulled out of the refugee(难民) camp there—Darfur’s largest, with 130,000 people —leaving only 10 Red Cross employees behind. Yet at the time no one said what had really caused the sudden pullbacks.

Damaging has become surprisingly common in Darfur, where 200,000 Africans have been killed and a third of the population have been sent fleeing into camps in three years of war. But the attacks on international aid workers suggested a dramatic and dangerous start—to attack on purpose those helping to keep Darfur’s millions of refugee alive. A dozen people from foreign NGOs (non－governmental organizations) have been killed in just the past six months , more than previous years. There are about 14,000 aid workers in Darfur now , the majority of them Sudanese, working for foreign NGOs and U.N. agencies and delivering $1 billion a year in aid . Just a few more terrible attacks could throw that into jeopardy. Last week 14 U.N. offices working in Darfur made a clear warning that “the humanitarian (人道主义) organization cannot possibly make certain the survival of the population Darfur if aid workers don’t feel safe. ”
