Jack London ( 1876 – 1916 )
Jack London’s life and writings are thought by many to represent the American love of adventure. He was
born in Sanfrancisco, California, and quit school at fourteen to become a sailor. He travelled a great deal during
his short lifetime, in the United States, Europe, and the Far East. When gold was discovered in Alaska in 1897,
Jack London, answering the call of adventure, took part in the famous “ gold rush”. His experiences in the wild
northern country provided him with material for many of his later stories and novels, including To Build a Fire.
Among his best – known novels are The Call of the Wild and The Sea – Wolf.

Exercise. Match the following headings to the paragraph.
a. Treating cancer
b. Ear surgery
c. Cosmetic surgery
d. The laser as a powerful surgical treament.
e. The laser in British hospitals.
A. While military scientists test lasers against satellites, surgeons use them as miraculously accurate scalpels.
The beam can be focused to spot one fiftieth the size of a human hair: yet its intensity is enough to kill cancer
cells or drill though the most delicate bones.
B. For cancer treatment, the disease cells must be killed while their healthy neighbours are left unharmed.
Where the cancer can be directly and accurately attacked, laser treatment does well. For cancers that are less
accessible, there is a new and potentially valuable technique in which the patient is injected with a chemical
that then attaches itself preferentially to cancer cells. When the laser strikes the chemical, it releases a form of
oxygen that kills these cells.
C. Furthermore, the laser beam can also remove bone and so it is invaluable in ear surgery. The sounds we
hear are carried from the eardrum to the nerves of the ear by a delicate set of small bones which sometimes
solidify causing deafness. A laser vaporises the bone without touching any of the surrounding tissue.
D. Birthmarks, once almost untreatable, are a mass of blood vessels and being red, they absorb the laser beam
strongly. It seals them so that the mark becomes less conspicuous. The normal cells on the skin’s surface,
which don’t absorb much of laser beam, act in the healing and help to conceal the mark. The operation can
transform the lives of people who had to suffer from lifetime physical abnormalities.
E. Some ten new centres already using this treatment will soon be opened in Britain, which is already one of
the leaders in the laser treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers and this, combined with medicines, can mean ulcer
treatment without conventional surgery.
