3 event in my life three or four years ago made me examine my own attitudes towards alternative medicine. After 4 (suffer) from insomnia (失眠) for a few months, I was feeling mentally and physically exhausted. My friend Tony, who 5 (study) acupuncture at a college near London at the time, suggested that I visit an acupuncturist. Since I had a fear of needles, I was 6 (willing) to take his advice. But by this time I was so tired that I was prepared to try almost anything.
I made an 7 (appoint) with the acupuncturist in my area and turned up at his room the following morning. After taking my pulse, looking at my tongue, and asking a few questions 8 my diet and lifestyle, the acupuncturist correctly reasoned that I was worn-out. I found this extremely impressive since he hadn't asked me 9 I had come to see him. He then inserted a needle in my right foot between my first and second toe, and, despite my anxiety, I fell asleep 10 (immediate). At the time I considered the whole experience to be close to a miracle.
