Passage Seventeen
    If you intend using humour in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to _1_ shared experiences and problems. Your humour must be _2_ to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in _3_ with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the 4  methods of their secretaries;  5  if you are addressing secretaries, you may  want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
    Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful   6  , beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a   7 for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the   _8_   of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself.    “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that’s God.” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks he’s a doctor.”
    Look for the humour. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar _9_ “If at first you don't succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation. Search for _10_ and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humour.

Passage Eighteen
    Australia has been unusual in the Western world in having a very   _1_   attitude to natural or alternative therapies, according to Dr. Paul Laver a lecturer in Public Heath at the University of Sydney.   “We’ve had a tradition of doctors being   2   powerful and I guess they are pretty   3   to allow any pretenders to their position to come into it.”  In many  other    4    countries  orthodox  and  alternative  medicine  have  worked    “hand  in glove” for years. In Europe only orthodox doctors can   5   herbal medicine. In German, plant  remedies    6    for  10%  of  the  national  turnover  of  pharmaceuticals.  Americans made more visit to alternative therapists than to orthodox doctors in 1990, and each year they spent about $US12 billion on therapies that have not been scientifically tested.
    Disenchantment with orthodox medicine has seen the 7 of alternative therapies in Australia climb steadily during the past 20 years. In a 1983 national health survey, 1.9% of people said they had contacted a chiropractor, naturopath, osteopath, acupuncturist or herbalist in the two weeks prior to the survey. By 1990, this figure had risen to 2.6% of the population. The 550,000 _8_ with alternative therapists reported in the 1990 survey represented about an eighth of the total number of consultations with medically qualified personnel covered by the survey, according to Dr. Laver and colleagues writing in the Australian Journal of Public Health in 1993. “A better educated and less accepting public has become _9_ with the experts in general, and increasingly sceptical about science and empirically based knowledge,” they said. “The high standing of professionals, including doctors, has been eroded as a  _10_ ”.
