Acupuncture 针灸
Acupuncture—
is the use of needles to treat people’s health problems 用针来治疗身体问题
can relieve body pains /help lose weight /help quit smoking 减缓疼痛/ 减肥/ 戒烟
has its origin in China beginning before 1000 BC 起源于公元前 1000 年以前的中国
Some of the medical problems that can be treated by acupuncture include very bad pain,
such as neck and back pains, headaches, injuries, stomach problems and blood pressure
problems.
Some people have also used acupuncture to treat addictions to cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and
food. The traditional Chinese acupuncture is becoming more and more popular with foreigners.
The number of acupuncture points (穴位) was the same as the number of days in a year.
How does an acupuncturist examine a patient?
First ask the patient’s medical history and lifestyle. And then look at the color of the patient’s
skin and tongue, listen to his breathing and check his pulses(脉搏).(——望闻问切)
There’re twelve different pulses, six on each wrist. Every one is connected with a major
body organ (器官) or function of an organ.
Why will an acupuncturist (针灸医生) check pulses? This will help him/her find out which
energy channel (经络) doesn’t have enough energy.

Short-sightedness can usually be corrected with glasses or contact lenses (隐型眼镜), or in
some cases with laser (激光) eye surgery (手术).

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of 5000 thousand years. It is a summary of
the experience of the laboring people over many centuries of struggle against disease. For
thousands of years it has played an important part in curing disease and protecting the health of
the Chinese people, thus contributing greatly to the growth and prosperity (繁荣) of China, as
well as to the world-wide medical knowledge.
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on its own theories and contains a unique system in
itself. It holds that man and his natural environment form an organic ( 有 机 的 ) whole; many
diseases are linked with the environment. It also holds that the various parts of the human body
form an organic whole. When one is ill, the whole body is affected, so that treatment should
emphasize the physical condition of the individual as a whole. It is still today widely used by the
Chinese people and the whole world people in treating diseases. It is an integral (整体不可缺少的)
part of world civilization and a common benefit for all mankind.
Since the founding of New China, Chinese Government have attached great importance to
traditional Chinese medicine and laid down a series of principles, policies and measures, aiming
to develop traditional Chinese medicine, integrate it with Western medicine and modernize the
traditional Chinese medicine. It has progressed greatly over the past thirty years and more. Quite
a number of Chinese medical workers have carried out studies on traditional Chinese medicine
with modern scientific knowledge and methods. They have also used combined Chinese and
western medical means in the treatment of a number of difficult and complicated cases, which
have all shown satisfactory results. At the same time many researchers have studied the basic
theories of traditional Chinese medicine such as yin (阴) and yang (阳), theory of zang-fu (脏
腑), channels and collaterals (经络), Qi (气) and blood, the four diagnostic (诊断的) methods, the
principles of qigong etc, with experimental research methods resulting in considerable progress.
In recent years, more and more people are interested in traditional Chinese medicine. They
would like to accept its treatment. They are interested in learning its knowledge and technique to
treat patients and studying why it works. Traditional Chinese medicine as a subject has been
added into teaching plan in different famous medical colleges. Traditional Chinese medicine
clinics and schools are everywhere in the world and increased continuously every year. With the
present development of traditional Chinese medicine, its integration ( 一 体 化 ) with modern
science and technology will surely enhance (增强) its contribution to human health.

写作范文
Example 1
在即将举行的中美高中生夏令营活动中,你和你的美国朋友将讨论学生中的“追星
(star-worshiping)”问题,请你根据下面的提示写一篇发言稿。词数 120 左右。
追星表现 模仿衣着、发型、嗜好、举止等
追星后果 迷失自我、荒废学业等
你的看法 科学家等贡献最大,应专心学习,成为有用之才
参考范文:
Ladies and gentlemen,
Nowadays, star-worshiping is popular among teenagers, especially many middle school
students. Thousands of fans like their idols for their handsome appearances, beautiful songs, and
perfect acting skills, and they imitate whatever stars do, including their clothes, hairstyle and
hobbies. As a result, some of them forget what they should do and even spoil their study.
In my opinion, having idols is not a bad thing. However, we should make it clear who are
the real “heroes”. As far as I am concerned, the real heroes are those who are making the most
contributions to our society, such as teachers, doctors and scientists. As young students we
should learn from them. Only in this way can we become useful men and be real popular stars in
the future.
That’s all. Thank you.
Example 2
参考范文:
Good morning, everyone. This is David at the school radio station.
We are investigating a problem—short-sightedness, which is very common among Chinese
teenagers today. We have interviewed a doctor in our city about what parents and students can do
to protect students’ eyesight. The doctor strongly suggests that every year students’ eyes should
be tested to identify any problems, and they should not read in bed with poor lighting as well.
Apart from this, we’ve also made a survey on the measures they take in No.1 and No.9
Secondary Schools.
They both have taken steps to protect students’ eyesight such as asking students to look out
of the window at regular intervals, changing types of paper and advising them to do eye
exercises both at school and at home.
I hope our investigation might bring your attention to the problem and be helpful for you.
Thank you for listening.
