Reflexology is a natural treatment dating back to ancient times. it is based on the idea that there are zones,
or areas, in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body. For example, the
tips of the toes and fingers are related to the head and neck, and the ball of the foot is related to the heart
and chest. A reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patients feet and hands to relieve symptoms
or pain in other related areas.
This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems, and it does not involve any
medication. Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology
is effective for pain, headaches, and sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure
to the feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. it promotes the
natural, healthy functions and well-being of the entire body. Reflexology is often used along with other
types of treatments, including conventional medicine.
This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexalogist's only tools are his o r her hands. Pressure is strong,
but not uncomfortable. It?s not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.
At y p i c a l treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of
the session. A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to sit in a comfortable reclining chair,
and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient's feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to
the appropriate parts of the foot. The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.
After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain
good health. Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five-minute reflexology session into every
day for long-term relief of stress and pain.

22 ~~ ?Read the article and check all the statements that are true. Then correct the false statements.
Where am | going?
To answer this question, follow these
steps:
Create a life map?not an ordinary
map, but a map of where you have
been in your life and where those experiences can take you. Write down the important events in your life over the
past few years. You decide what is important I t s different for everyone For example, did you get a new job last year
that you love? Did you pass an exam? Did you learn something interesting? Did you get married? To see your life in
the Future, you should first look into your past.
Next, look carefully at your fist. Do you have regrets? Have your tastes changed over time? Planning for the future
means making decisions that make you happy and match your interests and talents. Use your past experiences to set
your goals for the future. Your life map can help you avoid making the same mustakes or having segrets.
Finally, set your goals to achieve over the next weeks, months, and years.
* Make friends. It?s difficult to succeed i f you're alone, so support from good Friends 1s very important.
Once you have created your life plan, go forward with it, but also go back to it. Tastes change. Circumstances change.
Don't be afraid to tailor your life to changes in your life.

Winston y e s t e r d a y , 2 : 1 7 p.m.
The tntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported after reviewing the scientific research that it
is more than 90% certain that humans are causing global warming. Gases from cars and factories are causing
|
temperatures to rise. We need to do something betore it?s too late!
Linda y e s t e r d a y , 2 : 3 3 P.M.
HA! 90% certain leaves 10% uncertain. The IPCC report has tots of errors and is exaggerated. It isn?t only the cars
and factories that are causing global warming. What about the changes in the sun?s brightness during its 11-year
solar cycle? It causes temperatures to increase. Erupting volcanoes can produce lots of CO, too.
