1 . Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has been greatly contributing to the treatment of the COVID-19, which changed the altitude of the western world to it to some extent. However, in the past, foreigners knew little about it. According to a government report, although TCM has been introduced into 183 countries and regions around the world, their understanding of TCM may be limited to acupuncture(针灸), cupping and massage(按摩) .For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on a U. S. famous swimmers back from cupping to relax his muscles and reduce pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.

In fact, Chinese herbs(药草) play a more important role in curing diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. Therefore, it is disappointing to know that although 103 world Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM is much less popular than Western medicine partly due to the slow development of Chinese herbs.

Herbs can be made into pills, powder and soup. The kind of herbs used, their quality, quantity and the processing together determine the effectiveness of the prescription (处方). Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization. The chemical composition and functions of its medicine are still unclear and their effects are unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades and a number of factories are increasingly producing patented TCM drugs.

Another reason why TCM prescription drugs have developed slowly is that it lacks creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past. That Chinese chemist Tu Yoyo won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(痢疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry.

However, Rome was not built in a day. The current situation cannot be changed within a short time.

“A heavy ion (离子) cancer treatment system developed by Chinese researchers will soon be put into     1     (operate) in northwest China’s Gansu Province,” researchers said.

The system will be used in a hospital in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu,     2     is mainly devoted to treating cancer patients with the technology of heavy-ion accelerators.

Cancer radiation treatments     3     (employ) heavy-ion accelerators can attack     4     target with high-energy electrons (电子) to kill cancer cells.

Compared to traditional therapy (治疗) such as radiation, heavy ion treatment     5     (consider) to have more balanced properties with     6     (little) radiation on healthy cells. The treatment period is shorter,     7     the therapy could more     8     (effect) control cancer cells, according to Wang Xiaohu, deputy director of the Gansu Provincial Cancer Hospital.

Researchers with the Institute of Modern Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences started basic research     9     the technology in 1993 and developed the accelerators in 2015.

A report published by the National Cancer Center in 2017 showed that China has nearly 25 percent of the world’s new cancer cases, with 10,000 cancer patients     10     (add) per day. Every year, there are two million cancer-induced deaths. Lung, breast and stomach cancers are the most common types.

Make sure you remember what kind of animal it is so the doctor can find the right way to treat him or her at once.

Fainting (昏厥): Have him or her lie with feet lifted a little. Don’t move the body if you think there might be wounds from the fall. Make sure he or she can breathe and let in fresh air.     4    .

Nosebleeds: Have the person sit up with his or her head tilted (倾斜) forward a little. Do not have the person tilt his or her head back because this may cause heavy breathing or coughing.     5    .

The World Health Organization(WHO) has made an appeal to scientists, drug manufacturers and governments. The WHO wants them to work together     1    (develop) drugs to fight 12 bacteria. These bacteria     2    (be) able to resist     3    (power) antibiotic(抗生素) drugs. The resistance is so unusually strong that all the 12 bacteria have been given a special name “superbug”．

The United Nations agency reported this week the 12 superbugs are a threat to human     4    (healthy). It said they have     5    ability to easily turn treatable infections into killers. The WHO says superbugs can also pass along genetic material     6    helps other bacteria become resistant to drug treatment.

Marie­Paule Kieny is the Assistant Director­General at the WHO. She said, “Antibiotic resistance is growing and we are fast running out     7    treatment options.” She urged governments to give drug companies reasons to develop new treatments. “If we leave it to market forces alone, the new antibiotics we most     8    (urgent) need are not going to be developed in time，” she said.

Antibiotic drugs can lose their effectiveness when people take more or less than the amount     9    (require) by doctors. When this happens, infections that     10    (treat) at one time easily become resistant.

5 . If doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?

In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.

Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites” —the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily.

Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.

On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC.

“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.
