1 . For more than 4,000 years, people in Asia have used acupuncture (针灸) to treat illnesses.
People who practice acupuncture must take courses to learn how to do it correctly.
Acupuncture needles are made of metal and about as thick as a human hair. They normally go less than 1 cm into the skin. The patient rests for a short time and then the needles are removed. Acupuncture usually doesn’t hurt. There is also a different form of acupuncture called “acupressure” where you don’t need needles.

2 . “Please don't travel to Wuhan unless it's absolutely necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory （呼吸科的） expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan to fight the disease.

A great doctor and honest scholar （学者）
Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto（信条）: save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted （采纳） by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People's Daily reported.

4 . I watched my Dad close the door. It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home. My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown (封锁) starting on January 23.
The virus we now know as COVID-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. But that is only partly true. All the evidence suggests that it can be merciless to older people, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and whether we would ever take family photos, which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday.
On their second day away my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw mom lying there with an oxygen mask and my dad could not talk without breathing heavily, I realized that I had to live on my own.
But two weeks later, I came across a fever and had to go into quarantine (隔离) and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to a bacterial infections but not COVID-19.
Everything there was hectic (忙碌的), there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes.
They would work a whole day preparing for new patients and seemed incredibly apologetic for not having everything that was needed. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way. And they are all from other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some of them are just three or four years older than me.
When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: “That’s what we’re here for.”

7 . All over the world，children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine：Laughter. Lucy is 23 and works for Theodora Children’s Trust. She is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children.
“I’m a Theodora clown doctor. I call myself Dr Looloo. I spend two days a week in children’s hospitals，making funny faces，telling jokes，and doing magic tricks. As I walk into the wards(病房) I blow bubbles，shake hands with the kids，and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing. I take special balloons to make ‘balloon animals’ and tell funny stories about them.
I’m naturally a very cheerful person. I’ve always been a clown. In fact my father’s a clown and I started working with him when I was eight years old. I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think it’s a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital.
Being a clown in hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings，otherwise we’d be useless. Clown doctors are sensitive but this is not a side most people see. To the children we’re happy all the time. I’m still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally. There working with a very sick little girl from Bosnia who speaks no English，so our only common language is laughter.
At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Children’s Trust. It’s a charity, so we are paid with the money people give. Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem small. All in all I feel honoured to do this job.”
