Medical economists have calculated that 60% or more of an individual’s entire lifetime medical expense is generated in the last year of life. It follows, then, that if we could predict that terminal period (and eliminate or ignore it) we could find the long-sought magic that would immediately and drastically cut soaring medical expenses. Since it is not given to the best of our medical prognosticators to predict with certainty and finality just when that last 12 months will begin or end, and because our Judeo-Christian ethic is dedicated to the sanctity of life, we physicians, with the endorsement of society, keep trying to extend, as well as to improve life.

Committees of physicians are already legally required to decide what medical and surgical procedures should be done, whether they may be done in a hospital, and how long the hospital convalescence may take.

Everyone is aware of the horrible facts: school systems are running out of money, teachers cant spell Most of us know, or think we know, who is to blame: liberal courts, spineless school boards, government regulations. It is easy to select a villain. But possibly the problem lies not so much in our institutions as in our attitudes. It is sad that although most f us profess to believe in education, we place no value on intellectual activity We Americans are a charitable and humane people: we have institutions devoted to every good cause from escuing homeless cats to preventing World War Ill. But what have we done to promote the art of thinking? Certainly we make no room for thought in our daily lives. Suppose a man were to say to his friends, "I'm not going to Parent-Teacher Association tonight because I need some time to myself, some time to think? Such a man would be shunned by his neighbors; his family would be ashamed of him. What if a teen-ager were to say I'm not going to the dance tonight because I need some time to think? His parents would immediately star looking in the Yellow Pages for a psychiatrist. We are all too much like Julius Caesar: we fear and distrust people who think too much.

Everyone is aware of the horrible facts: school systems are running out of money, teachers can’t spell. Most of us know, or think we know, who is to blame: liberal courts, spineless school boards, government regulations. It is easy to select a villain. But possibly the problem lies not so much in our institutions as in our attitudes. It is sad that although most of us profess to believe in education, we place no value on intellectual activity. We Americans are a charitable and humane people: we have institutions devoted to every good cause from rescuing homeless cats to preventing World War III. But what have we done to promote the art of thinking? Certainly we make no room for thought in our daily lives. Suppose a man were to say to his friends, “I’m not going to Parent-Teacher Association tonight because I need some time to myself, some time to think?” Such a man would be shunned by his neighbors; his family would be ashamed of him. What if a teen-ager were to say, “I’m not going to the dance tonight because I need some time to think?” His parents would immediately start looking in the Yellow Pages for a psychiatrist. We are all too much like Julius Caesar: we fear and distrust people who think too much. We believe that almost anything is more important than thinking. Several years ago a college administrator told me that if he wanted to do any serious thinking, he had to get up at 5:30 in the morning —— I suppose because that was the only time when no one would interrupt him. More recently I heard a professor remark that when his friends catch him in the act of reading a book, they say, “My, it must be nice to have so much free time.” And even though I am an English teacher —— a person who should know better —— I find myself feeling vaguely guilty whenever I sneak off to the library to read. It is a common belief that if a man is thinking or reading, he is doing nothing. Through our words and our actions, we express this attitude every day of our lives. Then we wonder why our children refuse to take their studies seriously and why they say to their teachers, “This stuff won’t do me any good because I’ll never need to use it.” It is easy to understand the causes of this prejudice against thinking.

This way the unjust division of the world is disregarded. And so we hear that out of six billion people in the world only 800 million are starving. The reality is that two-thirds of the earth’s population, or four billion people, lives in poverty. The gravest manipulation limits the problem to providing food for the starving alone. But the real problem is that hunger is connected with terrible living conditions, disease, lack of basic education, aggression, lack of family ties or social structures, no prospects and unproductiveness. What we see on TV —— masses of people receiving help in a remote place on earth —— does not show the real problem. The problem is that those who live in refugee camps were deprived of their work-place and tools. With a little bit of good will and with today’s technology, hunger can be limited. But how can we reduce poverty? Education in Third World countries is dying because children cannot afford inexpensive pens. Such societies accept innovations very reluctantly; if I have $100 and invest $10, I can risk it because even if I lose it, I will still have $90 left. But if I only have $ 10, invest it and lose it, I risk my life. This proves that it is not only the problem of capital, but of a lack of good will and interest. The developed world surrounds itself with a sanitary cordon of indifference. It is putting up a global Berlin Wall since it sees the Third World as a world of barbarians. Any news from behind that wall is about wars, crime, murders, drugs, robberies, disease, refugees and famine —— about things that constitute a danger for the developed nations. If we accept the fact that all people around the world, despite geography, history, climate and culture, deserve lives of dignity, then we have a moral obligation to change the mentality of the people brought into the culture of poverty. New ideas about how to gain more independence and new visions of development have to be born within this culture. For this the people need a new generation of intellectuals and politicians, similar to those who granted them political independence. This does not mean, though, that the developed world can forget about the world of poverty and give up trying to help. 56. According to the author, the conventional wisdom about the problem of the Third World Countries [A] disregard daily necessities. [B] poses a challenge to the United Nations. [C] is dubiously-oriented. [D] is a true reflection of the present situation. 57. The word “manipulation” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean [A] grief. [B] conscience. [C] deception.

They have been doing it ever since the Republicans announced a “religious war” in the name of “traditional values.” It grew several decibels louder last week when George Bush, at a breakfast of religious leaders, attacked the Democrats for failing to mention God in their doctrines and declaimed that a President needs to believe in the Almighty. What about the constitutional ban on “religious test [s]” for public office? The Founding Fathers would want to know. (61) What about Tom Jefferson’s conviction that it is possible for a nonberliever to be a moral person, “find[ing] incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise”? Even George Washington must shudder in his sleep to hear the constant emphasis on “Judeo-Christian values.” (62) It was he who wrote, “We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land … every person may here worship God according to the dictates of his own heart.” George Bush should know better than to encourage the theocratic ambitions of the Christian right. (63) He has claimed —— to much ironic scorn —— that when he was shot down during World War II and lay floating in the Pacific for four hours, he meditated on “God and faith and the separation of church and state.” But there could be no better themes for a patriot to address in his final moments. (64) The “wall of separation” the Founding Fathers built between church and state is one of the best defenses freedom has ever had. Or have we already forgotten why the Founding fathers put it up? They had seen enough religious intolerance in the colonies: Quaker women were burned at the stake in Puritan Massachusetts; Virginians could be jailed for denying the Bible’s authority. They knew Europe had terribly disfigured itself in a religious war recalled now only by its duration —— 30 years.
