 Telemedicine, the practice of medicine at a distance, began with the telephone. Today it includes video 
technology and high-speed communications using satellites. 
 Although telemedicine occurs in outer space, it will change everyday medical practice on earth. It can 
help reduce queues and waiting time for doctors in hospitals. In addition, it can reduce the number of journeys a 
person might need to make to hospital for follow-up treatment and change the treatment of the elderly. 
 Whereas most people in the developed world can easily visit a doctor or a hospital for a medical check, 
people in some developing countries are not so fortunate. However, a satellite phone, a computer and some 
simple technology could establish a direct link between them and hospital specialists. 
 Telemedicine could also change medical education by bringing the expert skills of the world’s leading 
specialists to students throughout the world. There is already a medical education link between a university in the 
UK and a university in the Middle East. This means that students and teachers can share in live classes, which is 
a great improvement on traditional textbooks. 
 Ships and off-shore installations like drilling platforms are also making increasing use of telemedicine. In 
one recent case an oil-rig worker had a worsening headache two days after a head injury. Stormy weather 
prevented him from being taken to the mainland, but a video discussion and examination by a doctor on land 
established that he was not at serious risk.

 Grammar 
 Language is more than a very long list of words. In fact, to make ourselves understood, changes in the

understanding of the structure of the language (40)______ we ourselves speak. It is also a requirement if we want 
to learn or teach a foreign language. In its early beginnings, grammar was (41)______ with interpreting language 
that had become outdated and incomprehensible to most people. In ancient Greece, educators did not succeed in 
using the epics of Homer until five centuries after they had been created, which was an ever growing problem for 
later generations, particularly those who did not share Homer’s dialect. Given that in ancient times, most people 
hardly travelled outside (42)______ square miles of their place of birth, it was not surprising that a great number

 It is a myth that creative people are born with their talents: gifts from God or nature. Creative genius is, in 
fact, latent within many of us, without our realizing. But how far do we need to travel to find the path to 
creativity? For many people, a long way. This applies to all areas of life. When we are solving problems, for 
example, we may seek different answers, but, often as not, find ourselves walking along the same well-trodden 
paths. 
 So, for many people, their actions and behaviors are set in immovable blocks, their minds clogged with 
the cholesterol of habitual actions, preventing them from operating freely, and thereby stifling creation. 
Unfortunately, mankind’s very struggle for survival has become a tyranny – the obsessive desire to give order to 
the world is a case in point. This can be seen in people’s attitude to time, social customs and the great number of 
rules and regulations by which the human mind is now restricted. 
 The groundwork for keeping creative ability in check begins at school. School, later university and then 
work, teach people to regulate their lives, imposing a continuous process of restrictions which is increasing 
exponentially with the advancement of technology. Yet, even here in this hostile environment, the foundations for 
creativity are being laid; because setting off on the creative path is also partly about using rules and regulations. 
Such limitations are needed so that once they are learned, they can be broken. 
 The human mind can be trained to be creative. One strategy is to erect artificial barriers or hurdles in 
solving a problem. In this way, people are obliged to explore unfamiliar territory, which may lead to some 
startling discoveries. Unfortunately, the difficulty in this exercise, and with creation itself, is convincing people 
that creativity is possible. There is also an element of fear involved, however subliminal, as deviating from the 
safety of one’s thought patterns is very much akin to madness. But, once we open the creativity box, a whole 
new world will unfold before our very eyes.
