(A)Forget planes, trains or automobiles — if Joan Pick wants to go anywhere, she runs. And she eats nothing but raw food. Is her lifestyle extreme or the future we must all face up to?
W e all know we should reduce our carbon footprint, but I don’ t think that many people would be prepared to go as far as Joan Pick. She hasn’ t driven a car since 1973. Her gas supply was cut off, and her electricity usage is minimal. She eats only raw food and the only items she ever buys are new trainers—because she gets around by running everywhere. Pick，a scientist for many years，is 67 and claims her lifestyle keeps her healthy.
Much as I admire Pick’ s low impact on this frazzled earth, is her lifestyle all a bit extreme? She shrugs her shoulders. “Does it look like a hovel?“ she says, looking at her flat. It doesn.t； it is neat and tidy, and the furniture is classic 1960s that she has had for 40 years. She listens to Classic F M and Radio 4 on an old secondhand stereo system. The only electricity she uses is a single light (low-energy bulbs, of course) for the evenings, and her kettle, which not only makes the tea she drinks all clay, but provides the hot water for laundry — which she does by hand 一 and bucket baths.
Pick doesn.t have heating. Doesn.t she get cold? “Sometimes，”she says. How does she keep warm?“Clothing and exercise,”she replies.
She decided to start living like this, “because I realized we have got the energy question totally wrong. I decided to imagine that the earth was a business in need of sound management. We
are all members of the board, a shareholder, a consumer and an employee. W e believed that fossil fuels were infinite, but they are finite.”
Her world has shrunk to the distance around her flat in south London that she can run to (which isn’ t small — she can run to Tower Bridge, several miles away). These days, Pick spends her time going to the library to read the papers —“It takes longer on a Thursday because I have to read the New Scientist as well, but it. s so awful”— and looking through W h o . s W h o and Google to find the addresses of the politicians, scientists and industry leaders she wants to write to.
Doesn. t she ever want to go on holiday? “Oh no,”she says. “I’ ve never enjoyed going on holidays. You can learn about places by reading about them.”I wonder if her life isn’ t a bit isolating. She has never married and doesn. t have a partner. She admits that her friends and neighbors do think she.s a bit mad. Maybe she is, but perhaps we will all have to live like Pick one day.
She follows a raw vegetarian diet. She says, “I had tried every diet in the hook, so I decided to try a raw-food vegetarian diet.”We go into her kitchen, where she opens a large tub full of mixed seeds and nuts, which forms the basis of her diet, along with fruit and wheatgerm. “It. s very easy to live like this. I couldn.t t imagine living any other way now”，she says.
It seems a bit joyless to me, hut Pickisn，t a joyless person； far from it—she. s delightful. I.ve made her late for her daily two-hour run. W e walk down the stairs together (she never uses the lift) and she runs off into the afternoon sunshine.

(B)I was in a bookstore the other day. Looking in the science fiction section，I saw the book Men Are from Mars，Women Are from Venus. Just as I opened the book, Doctor McCoy from the Star ship Enterprise appeared at my side. “McCoy, what are you doing here?” “I was caught in a temporal rift, and now I am here to help you understand the difference between men and women.” “Wow, that.s great. I guess this book tells me all I need to know； men are from Mars andwomen are from Venus.” “Ofcourse，it is just that simple.” “Wait a minute, ” I said. “Remember，we are in the science fiction section. I am not so sure men and women are quite this simple.” “Look Jim,”McCoy began, “I have been to both Mars and Venus, and I have met men and women from all parts of the galaxy. Men and women are totally different. Men are from Mars ； they are objective, logical, and competitive. Women are from Venus ； they are sensitive, relational, and loving. You can. t change that. Men and women speak totally different languages. All you can do is to try to understand it, and live with it.” “But I don.t get it, “ I said.“I know a number of men who are relational, subjective, and loving, and if I had to pick their planet of origin, I would have to say Venus. And I also know a number of women who are logical, objective, and as competitive as any man. If I had to pick their planet of origin, I would have to say Mars. So what gives?” “Jim，I. m a doctor, not a sex role philosopher. You know that men and women are totally different. Why are you trying to confuse things?” “Who is doing the confusing here? Why do we have to put all men on one planet and all women on another planet? It seems to me that all men and women are a combination of both Mars and Venus qualities, in different degrees and combinations, and each man and woman is totally unique. If you tell men that they are from Mars alone，then they will never look at or use their Venus qualities. If you tell women that they are from Venus alone, then they will never look at or use their Mars qualities. Then men will let women do all the Venus work of life, and women will look to men to do all the Mars work of life, and then you have the most unfortunate situation of men and women setting up artificial roles for the sexes. It gets very had.， “You have a problem with that, you silly-looking Earthling!”McCoy bellowed. “That view is utterly and totally unreasonable.” “Besides that?” “No, besides that, I have no problem.” “Good. I think.” “Tell you what, “ I said, trying to get out of a messy confrontation with an interstellar hero. “Why don. t we simply retitle the book.Let，s call it，Men are from Mars, Women are fromVenus, but Some Men are from Venus, and Some Women are from Mars, and All of God. s Children Have Both Mars and Venus Qualities Within Them.” “I don，t know, ” McCoy sighed. “I am not sure it will sell. People want simple answers.” “When it comes to God.s children,” I whispered, “there are no simple answers, only great and wonderful mysteries.” McCoy, looking old and tired, sighed again. “Give them science fiction, Jim, give them science fiction. People like it, and it sells.” “I know, Doctor, I know.” “Beam me up, Scotty.” Decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F). (1).
