昨日歯医者に行きました。私は日本に帰ったときは必ず歯医者に行くようにしています。私は歯医者に行くとき、とても緊張します。特に痛みがあるから行くわけではないのに、行く前は虫歯があったらどうしようと不安になります。ドイツでは私は一番安い保険に入っているので、日本と同じレベルの治療を期待できません。だか日本に帰る度に歯医者に行って治療しています。
今回は虫歯は見つからなかったのですが、下に生えている親知らずを抜いた方がいいと言われました。でも今親知らずを抜いたら、日本にいる間に食べたいものが食べられなくなるかもしれません。でも、親知らずを抜かないでドイツに帰って、ドイツで親知らずが痛くなればたくさんのお金を払って治療しなければいけないかもしれません。今、どうするべきかとても悩んでいます。みなさんならどうしますか？

Tea and the Industrial RevolutionA Cambridge professor says that a change in drinking habits was the reason for the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Anjana Abuja reports

A    

Alan Macfarlane, professor of anthropological science at King’s College, Cambridge has, like other historians, spent decades wrestling with the enigma of the Industrial Revolution. Why did this particular Big Bang – the world-changing birth of industry-happen in Britain? And why did it strike at the end of the 18th century?

B     

Macfarlane compares the puzzle to a combination lock. ‘There are about 20 different factors and all of them need to be present before the revolution can happen,’ he says. For industry to take off, there needs to be the technology and power to drive factories, large urban populations to provide cheap labour, easy transport to move goods around, an affluent middle-class willing to buy mass-produced objects, a market-driven economy and a political system that allows this to happen. While this was the case for England, other nations, such as Japan, the Netherlands and France also met some of these criteria but were not industrialising. All these factors must have been necessary. But not sufficient to cause the revolution, says Macfarlane. ‘After all, Holland had everything except coal while China also had many of these factors. Most historians are convinced there are one or two missing factors that you need to open the lock.’

C and D parts will be added below.
