    The centre appeals to all concerned as under: Although the World Health Days are now celebrated all over the world regularly, that's not enough. The governments, the NGOs, the educational institutions and the media the world over, should take specific steps to awaken the people in the matter of health. People should be advised to take a balanced diet. The wealthy should be told about the harmful effects of over-eating and a rich diet. The poor should be told how they can keep healthy even by taking certain kinds of food which are not so expensive but contain lots of vitamins and minerals such as carrots, amla, skimmed milk, guava, leafy vegetables, etc. The importance of the use of iodised salt should be brought home to all. People should also be told about the benefits of drinking a lot of water daily. People should be advised to take regular exercise. They should be told about the ill effects of drinking, smoking, drug-taking, consumption of fast foods, soft drinks, excessive fat and sugar. Special arrangements for milk, fruit and other nutritious food items for poor children and expectant mothers should be made. Pollution should be brought to the lowest level by taking all necessary steps. Drug-peddlers and adulterators should be given exemplary punishments. The use of toxic chemicals should be banned or regulated. Also, arrangements for people's participation in tension-releasing programmes such as yoga, meditation, etc., on a large scale should be made.

        Reading Passage 4 — What to do Before an Operation in Hospital?

        In the days leading up to your surgery, you'll need to think about how you'll get to the hospital and back again. You probably won't be well enough to drive, so you may want to arrange transport or ask a friend or relative to help. Make sure you give your family and friends plenty of notice about your operation, so that if necessary they can take time off work to be with you. Check your hospital's policy on visiting times and let your family and friends know. When preparing your things for your stay, remember to bring your appointment card with you too. Pre-operative assessment At some hospitals, you'll be asked to attend a pre-operative assessment, which may be an appointment with a nurse or doctor, a telephone assessment or an email assessment. You'll be asked questions about your health, your medical history and your home circumstances. If the assessment involves a visit to the hospital, some tests may be carried out, including a blood test. This assessment will usually happen one or more days before your operation. Make sure you know the results of any previous tests. You'll be given clear information on: • if you need to stop eating and drinking in the hours before your operation (see below) • whether you should cease taking your usual medications before going into hospital • what to bring with you into hospital • whether you'll need to stay in hospital overnight and, if so, for how long The importance of fasting If your doctor has instructed you to fast before the operation, it's really important that you don't eat or drink anything — this includes light snacks, sweets and water. You need an empty stomach during surgery so you don't vomit while you're under anaesthetic. Hygiene You'll need to remove all make-up and nail polish before your operation, as the doctors will need to see your skin and nails to make sure your blood circulation is healthy. This can also help to reduce the chances of unwanted bacteria being brought into the hospital.

          Questions 22–27: Hospital Preparation Completion

          Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the text for each answer.

          22. It's important to include your _________ when packing your things for your time in hospital. 23. A pre-operative assessment may be conducted face to face, by phone or by _________ 24. Part of a pre-operative assessment might include a test of a patient's _________ 25. Patients might be told to stop their _________ in their pre-operative assessment. 26. Patients might suffer negative effects if they eat or drink before their pre-operative _________ is administered. 27. Removing all cosmetics allows doctors to properly assess a patient's _________

          Reading Passage 5 — Negotiating a Higher Salary

          Everyone thinks they deserve more compensation for the work they perform. But, there's a delicate procedure to master in order to earn what you think you're worth. Know that your firm has invested time and money in you. Savvy bosses understand that unhappy and underpaid employees are under-performing employees, which helps no one. It's a drain on their time to have to re-hire and train a replacement that fits the corporate culture. So if you have a legitimate request, you do have a certain amount of leverage to earn more money. A. Know your value: Do the proper research to figure out what you're worth, even if it means going on interviews or using resources like Payscale.com, or Glassdoor.com. If you find out you're underpaid, you can use that to negotiate an increase. Once you do the research, figure out what you think is a fair amount of money to request. Have that number in your head when you ask for the pay increase. B. Schedule a meeting: Find a time that works best for you and your boss. Give your supervisor a heads-up that you want to chat about your career growth so that you both have ample time. Also, practice salary negotiations. This can be a difficult or awkward conversation. Rehearse with a colleague or friend who can be a tough negotiator. C. Start on a positive note: Begin the conversation with something like, "I really enjoy working here and find my projects very challenging. In the last year, I've been feeling that the scope of my work has expanded quite a bit. I believe my roles and responsibilities and also my contributions have risen. I'd like to discuss with you the possibilities of reviewing my compensation. Tell them you know that the company isn't handing out raises. Make the case of why you should be an exception to this policy. This will need to focus on the results you have achieved for the company. D. State your case and then pause: Listen to what your manager has to say. Never use idel threats or mislead an employer to think you have an outside offer. Make your case based on your research and the results of your work. The worst they can say is no. Be specific and give your boss a range for the raise you want, and explain why. Say something such as "After a lot of research, which I have here if you'd like to see it at some point, and how I feel I have contributed to the company, I would ask for you to consider an increase of to It has been since my salary was last reviewed. I greatly appreciate your consideration." E. Bring your personal kudos file: Bring a list of your key achievements and focus specifically on the areas of accomplishment that are important to your boss. Bring up your strengths and talents, your accomplishments, your desire to do even more and your ideas and plans for the future in your role at the organization. Don't be too aggressive, though. Be diplomatic, well-prepared and assertive but not aggressive. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. F. Don't threaten your employer: Whatever you do, don't threaten to leave if you don't get the raise. You also shouldn't threaten your boss with other job offers, interviews, recruiter conversations, etc. You run the risk of your boss mistrusting you, or in the worst case if you're already on somewhat shaky ground, him saying, "maybe you should consider those offers." G. Ask for endorsements: One of the most powerful ways to demonstrate to your manager that you deserve a raise, or at least some form of recognition for your results is to have other people endorse the work you have done and how it helped them. This may be done through a phone call to your manager or an e-mail. The more your manager hears about how your work has contributed to organizational goals and results, the stronger you will be positioned to be seen as someone deserving of consideration for an exception in the time of no raises or at least some form of recognition. H. Don't share your sob story and be patient: Don't bring up personal issues. Don't tell your boss that you can't afford your rent, or that you need a raise to cover other personal expenses. Stick to your accomplishments and the value you add to the company. Remember, your manager may need a few days to think it over and get back to you, so don't be disheartened if you don't get an instant 'yes'. There's also a chance your boss isn't the one to make the decision. He or she might have to go to the higher-ups with your request.
