肃Wind and Spirit

蚃We do notice the wind when it seems (1) cruel, when the trees turn away from it,

and it (2) cuts into our hearts. \ temper bad\, said George Eliot. In Southern California, the Santa Ana is (4) associated with an increase in depression and domestic (5) violence.

聿Scientists have tried (6) without success to identify physiological reasons for these

(7) reactions. Everyone agrees, however, that (8) dry winds like the Santa Ana, the mistral in France and the foehn* in Germany and Switzerland seem to have (9) negative effects on our mental and physical (10) well-being.

肆On windy days, playground fights, (11) suicides and heart failures are more (12)

frequent. In Geneva, traffic accidents (13) increase when a wind called the bise* blows. At the (14) request of patients, some Swiss and German hospitals (15) postpone surgery during the foehn.

膃It is human to ask what is (16) behind the wind. It is easy to personify the wind as

the (17) breath of God. The act of taking wind into our lungs is what (18) gives us life. The Jews, Arabs, Romans and Greeks all took their word for (19) spirit from the word for wind.

identify wind with spirit anymore.

薇Listening Comprehension

袅Part 1 Dialogue

羁 What a Coincidence!

袀Storyteller: Talking of coincidences, did I tell you about what happened to me and

Jeannie last holiday?

蚇Friend(s): No.

芆Storyteller: We went on holiday in the States and we went to Mexico. Well, we were

driving down to Mexico City. We were going to spend a few days in Palm Beach ...

see the sea, look up an old friend, you know. As we left there we stopped at a garage for a car check ... oil, the water, the tires, all that ... petrol. And the mechanics spotted something. They said that our fuel pump was not working properly and it was quite serious ... it would cost a lot of money ... well, we were very worried.

蚃Friend(s): Were you insured?

虿Storyteller: Well, no, we weren't and I didn't have that much money on me, you

know. It was meant to be a cheap holiday. Well, just then, two men drove up and they said what's the problem? And, do you know? They were mechanics - it was such good luck. They looked at our car and they said, \nothing wrong with your car. Don't spend money on it. Just forget about it.\er, I thought ... I'll trust them, I think they're right. So, we drove on, we crossed the Mexican border and had a marvelous few days sightseeing there round Monterey.

螆Friend(s):Oh, oh, brilliant ... jealous ...

蚇Storyteller: And then we went on and on to Mexico City. We drove about forty

kilometers and then we saw a car with the same US number plates as the other car we'd seen in Palm Beach.

膁Friend(s): You're joking!

蚂Storyteller: It was parked by the road, and the same two men who gave us the advice

about our car were stuck with their car.

袆Friend(s): Oh, no!

螄Storyteller: So, we stopped and asked them what was wrong. And do you know?

Their car had broken down for exactly the same reason: The fuel pump wasn't working! It was quite extraordinary.
