Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper. TCM    1     (introduce) in 183 countries and regions around the world so far.

Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, maybe limited to acupuncture (针灸), cupping (拔罐) and massage. As    2     matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role than physical    3     (treat) in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body    4     good condition in the TCM treatment system.

Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup,     5     are used for different kinds of illnesses.

The herbs,     6     (they) quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription.TCM,     7     (compare) with Western medicine, lacks standardization because the chemical composition and functions of its medicines are unclear and their effects are    8     (stable).     9     (fortunate), standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories     10     (produce) patented TCM drugs.

Chris is not a traditional explorer — he usually     1    (work) in an office for a large organization. However, Chris’ job can be just     2     exciting and dangerous as an explorer’s.

Chris is a doctor from France and he works for MSF,     3     is also known as Doctors Without Borders. MSF sends its doctors all over the world     4    (help) people after a war or a disaster. The organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.

At the moment, there are over 30,000 trained doctors taking part in MSF projects and tasks. Every year, more than 3,000 international doctors will join     5    (they) to provide medical help around the world. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be     6    (prepare) to go almost anywhere and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions.

When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to devote himself     7    (entire) to work for at least six months.

When     8    (ask) why he left a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF, Chris said, “ From the experience I gain     9     great help in my career. More importantly, it is great to know at the end of each task that I have made a real     10    (different) to people’s lives.”

In the last seven days I have seen the pressure that the NHS is under. I have seen the personal courage not just of the doctors and nurses but of everyone, the cleaners, the     1     (cook), the health care workers of every description—physios, radiographers—     2     have kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm’s way, kept     3     (risk) this deadly virus. It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable.

The skin, which acts as a barrier     1    disease, toxins and the sun's harmful rays, is an essential part of your body. So if your skin gets burned, it can lead to very serious injuries. Depending on the     2    (deep) of skin damage, burns are divided into three types. First-degree burns only affects the top few millimeters of the skin. Second degree burns go below the top layer of the skin. They are serious and take a few weeks     3     (get) better. Third-degree burns affect every layer of the skin. They cause very severe internal     4    (injury).

The cool water stops the     5    ( burn)process and reduces the pain and swelling. Remove any clothes using scissors     6    necessary， unless you see the fabric     7     (stick) to the burnt skin.     8     (apply) oil to the injured areas is a bad idea, as it will keep the heat and may cause     9     (infect). If the victim is suffering     10    second or third-degree burns, he/she needs to be taken to the hospital at once.

First aid is a kind of help     1    (give) to someone who suddenly falls ill     2    gets injured before a doctor can be found. Often the illness or     3    (injure) is not serious.

Now let's talk about first aid for burns. You have three layers of skin to protect    4    (you) against disease, poisons and the harmful rays from the sun. Your skin also    5    (give) you your sense of touch. First aid is a very important first step in the    6    (treat) of burns. People can get burnt by many things, such as hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity or chemicals.    7    are three types of burns, which are called first, second or third-degree burns,    8     (depend) on which layers of the skin are burned.    9     (difference) types of burns should be treated in different ways. Let's keep these things    10    mind.

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 for her discovery of a drug that can cure malaria（疟疾）.She said she was     7     (inspire)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.

A First aid is a     1     （暂时的）form of help given to someone who suddenly falls ill or gets injured before a doctor can     2     （find）.The skin is an     3     （不可缺少的）part of your body. It keeps you warm or cool. It prevents your body     4     （lose）too much water. You can get burned     5     hot liquid, steam, fire, radiation and so on. When someone gets burned, we will carry out first aid     6     （治疗）by different degrees. Remove clothing from the burned area     7       it is stuck to the burn. Cover the burned area with a dry, clean bandage. Then     8     （immediate）take him or her to the hospital.

One area in which AI (Artificial Intelligence) influences global health is in the field of epidemiology (流行病学). Startup AIME has     1    (success) combined public health data with machine learning and AI    2    (create) a prediction engine capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great     3    (accurate). Another field where medical AIs are making rapid advances     4     (be) in diagnostics. Doctors base a lot of decisions     5     information from X-ray, CT and MRI images. Speeding up     6    (diagnosis) from patient scans can rapidly improve patient care and outcomes. Governments in many countries face the prospect of ageing populations. So     7     we will likely see is the expansion of Al services, including robotic helpers. Robots    8    (design) specifically to interact with people could help solve the problems of isolation and loneliness that affect many older people. Pet androids like Aibo provide companionship and learn from     9    (they) interactions about each owner's preferences. More humanoid robots are able to provide social interaction, be a personal assistant and look after     10     elderly, according to its makers.
