Sanfu medicinal patch, is a bandage made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)believe that receiving Sanfutie during the     1    (hot) summer days is an effective way     2    (solve) winter ills in summer such as coughs, asthma and arthritis.

    3     treatment is based on the TCM principle of yin and yang, which     4    (believe) the balance of both elements in the body is vital for good health. Sanfutie contains a paste of herbs that are “hot” in nature, and when     5    (apply) to specific acupuncture points, usually     6     the back and neck, they replenish the yang elements.

These patches have been used in TCM     7     the earliest recorded times, according to Huangdi Neijing, more than 2,000 years ago, the time-tested textbook for TCM practitioners. Sanfu patch treatment became extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and     8    (indicate) a revival and an increasing reliance on the traditional Chinese herbal medicine in recent years with more     9    (patient) turning to TCM treatment. Experts point out that “winter sickness summer governance” efficacy is not immediate, many diseases need     10    (they) continuous treatment for years or longer to bear fruit.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)isn’t     1     (wide ) supported by most Westerners. However, this is starting to change. TCM will be included in the new version of the International Classification of Diseases(ICD), which     2     (bring) out by the WHO in the near future. This is the first time for TCM to be included in the ICD,     3     (serve) as the international standard for diseases and health conditions.

China has been making efforts     4     ( promote) TCM overseas over the past three years, according to a report     5     (publish) by Xinhua News Agency. In 2015,Chinese scientist Tu Youyou won     6     Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She said     7     (she) discovery of the drug that can cure malaria (疟疾) was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine.

The inclusion of TCM in the ICD is a mainstream acceptance that will have great influence around the world. TCM has seen some     8     (grow) in other countries for all these years. It is reported     9     a number of famous foreign people use it. For example,during the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, US swimmer Michael Phelps was seen using cupping. Cupping is a traditional Chinese medical practice which has been around     10     more than 2,000 years.

Chinese vaccines（疫苗）were initially dismissed in Western and other media， partly because of a view that they were inferior    1    the vaccines produced by Moderna or AstraZeneca.    2    much evidence has been accumulating for a while that the vaccines from China work well, too.The United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and some other countries have approved the Sinopharm vaccine from China.By the end of last month,1.8 million people in the UAE    3     (receive) it

The development of Chinese vaccine within a short span of time after the sudden outbreak of COVID-19    4    (show) the Chinese system has performed quickly according to the expectations of the international community.The development is a message for the international community     5    China is marching ahead of time and the expectations of Chinese partner countries are on the rise.

China's efforts    6    (strengthen) the global fight against the pandemic have narrowed the space for a small group of rich countries to buy most of the vaccines.    7    (back)by the World Health Organization, China promised to provide tens of millions doses of COVID-19 vaccines for low and middle income countries this year.

    8    （personal），I would take the domestically（国内地）produced vaccines.I really think the China-produced vaccines are safe.    9    (live) through this global pandemic fight,I have come to a better understanding of China's     10    (responsibility) attitude in the public health sector.

Some years ago, SARS    1    (break) out in the mainland of China, causing some    2    (death). The situation was    3     severe that there was no time to debate who was to blame. The    4    important thing for the government    5    (do) was find out the cause of this deadly disease. They invited all the top experts in this field to have a    6    (discuss) sand quite a few suggestions were put forward. Some of the top experts picked out those suggestions and tested them to see whether they were    7    (effect). Doctor Zhong Nanshan chose one patient who was    8    (serious) ill and had the new medicine tested on him. To his great joy, this patient recovered! He made his way to his office and telephoned the top officials,    9    (tell) them the exciting news. For convenience, he moved to live in his office. His method did make sense. It wasn't long    10     the other hospitals also controlled this terrible disease finally.If no efforts had been made, China couldn’t have defeated SARS.

President Xi Jinping signed a presidential order on Tuesday to award four people national medals and honorary titles for their outstanding contributions    1     fighting the COVID-19 pandemic（ 瘟疫，流行病）.

Zhong Nanshan,     2    excellent disease expert, was awarded the Medal of the Republic, the highest national honor, for his outstanding work in fighting COVID-19 in China. Three others were also awarded the “People’s Hero” national honorary title. They are Zhang Boli, a    3     (tradition) Chinese medicine expert; Zhang Dingyu, head of Wuhan’s Jinyintan Hospital; and Chen Wei, a medical scientist     4     made breakthroughs in COVID-19-related basic research.

Zhong also has long been devoted to the research, prevention     5     treatment of major infectious and chronic respiratory disease（慢性呼吸病）, and has a long record of    6    (achieve). He was a major figure in the fight against the severe acute respiratory syndrome(综合症状)outbreak in 2003 in China.

    7    (follow) the   COVID-19   outbreak,   the   Chinese   government   encouraged   the   country    8     (contain) the disease in Wuhan, Hubei Province, after the city was locked down in late January. More than 42,000 medical workers from across the country    9     (send) to Hubei to fight   the disease. The pandemic has been    10    (effective) placed under control on the Chinese mainland since early March.

An experimental antiviral medication might help fight the new coronavirus

A single case study isn’t enough to prove anything. It’s not clear if the medication called remdesivir, actually helped the patient, or if his improvement was a coincidence. But it’s one of a few drugs,     1    (include) a combination of anti-HIV drugs,     2     doctors think might help patients with the new coronavirus.

Remdesivir was developed by the pharmaceutical company Gilead as a treatment     3     Ebola. It’s a broad-spectrum antiviral drug, and it blocks the activity of a protein that helps coronaviruses make copies of themselves. Research groups identified the drug as a potential candidate for the treatment of coronaviruses in the aftermath of the 2012 MERS outbreak,     4     another new coronavirus spread throughout the Middle East.

Tests on the new coronavirus show that remdesivir blocks     5     activity, too, at least in the lab. The result,     6     (couple) with the positive outcomes in the Washington patient, were enough for Gilead to launch a larger clinical trial of the drug in new coronavirus patients. The company will test it in a group of 270 patients at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing—one group will     7     (give) the drug, and one group will be   given a placebo.

The drug isn’t approved by FDA or by any other regulatory body.     8    , it already went through     9    (safe)testing during the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and 2015. That’s why Gilead is able to test it in sick patients     10    (immediate).
