7 . Kim Hyung-ho arrived in China from the Republic of Korea on Aug 24,1992, which happened to be the same day that the two countries officially established diplomatic relations. Kim, just 19 at the time, came to China to study traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a medical system with thousands of years of history and which enjoys popularity in many countries.

Kim’s passion for TCM took root in his teenage years after he had a twisted ankle treated with acupuncture. “It’s incredible that a little needle can have such magical powers. That experience inspired me to learn authentic TCM in the place from which it originated,” recalls Kim.

In 2013, he was hired as a TCM specialist by the international clinic of Qingdao Municipal Hospital. “Doctor Kim is a professional, hardworking and nice,” says Sun Jie, director of the clinic. “He also helps bridge the communication gap between our staff and Korean patients.” For those who have difficulty moving around, Kim will go to the patient’s home to offer treatment.

Apart from his daily work, Kim has also volunteered to provide free medical consultations in the countryside. He found that many rural people have been suffering from long time diseases such as high blood pressure, but are not aware of their conditions, let alone attend regular checkups. As a result, Kim led fellow volunteers to collect lists of people from different villages. The lists were handed to local authorities to keep track of the patients’ treatment. Kim also provided guidance for village doctors, which helped improve the standard of treatment in the area.

Three decades have passed since Kim set foot in China, and he’s very grateful for what he has gained in the country. “Medicine does not have boundaries. As a TCM doctor, I will continue to communicate with doctors in Korea and other countries to help it spread and flourish even further, so that more people can understand its excellence,” says Kim.

1. When did Kim become interested in TCM?

A．He learned the long history of TCM.

B．China and Korea had a close relationship.

C．He was treated with TCM when he was young.

D．Chinese medicine enjoyed great popularity in Korea.

2. What can we infer from the working experience of Kim?

A．Korean patients are specially treated.

B．Some rural patients will be tracked by volunteers.

C．A blind patient may get a home treatment by Kim.

D．High blood pressure patients will be completely cured.

3. What does the underlined word “flourish” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Crash.

B．Develop.

C．Remain.

D．Increase.

4. What is the purpose of this text?

A．To express patients’ demand.	B．To recommend TCM treatment.
C．To explain a medical phenomenon.	D．To introduce an international doctor.

8 . Some women with severe anorexia (厌食症) have returned to a healthy weight and feel less anxious after having electrical devices implanted into their brains, which is based on a small study. But more research is needed.

About one in five people with anorexia die of the illness and there is a lack of effective treatments. Imaging studies suggest that certain brain circuits (回路) may underlie the fear of gaining weight and compulsion (强迫) to self-starve.

Bomin Sun at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine in China and his colleagues wondered whether they could harm these circuits by electrically affecting a part of the brain known as the nucleus accumbens (伏隔核). This brain region helps us to learn from experience, but in people with anorexia it seems to form abnormal connections with other brain regions.

The team took in 28 women with at least a three-year history of anorexia who hadn’t improved following standard treatment. The women had an average body mass index (BMD) of 13; a BMI of less than 18.5 is considered underweight. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. The researchers surgically implanted electrodes (电极) into the nucleus accumbens on women’s brains. They connected the electrodes by wires to a battery, to continuously affect the nucleus accumbens.

Over the next two years, the average BMI of the participants increased to 18 and almost half regained a BMI of 18.5 or above. They also reported feeling less anxious.

“This is a very promising result,” says Philip Mosley, a research from Australia. But the study didn’t include a placebo (安慰剂) group for comparison, meaning it isn’t possible to rule out that the participants’ improvement was simply because they expected the treatment to work, says Mosley.

Mosley and his colleagues are about to start a trial of the same treatment in which they will control for the placebo effect. Brain surgery may seem like an extreme treatment, but for people with severe anorexia, it may be better than the alternative, which is often death, says Mosley.

1. What’s the normal body mass index (BMI)?

A．13.	B．Less than 18.5.
C．Between 18.5 and 24.9.	D．Between 25 and 29.9.

2. How did the researchers carry out the treatment?

A．By changing the brain circuits.	B．By reducing fear of gaining weight.
C．By putting electrodes into the brain.	D．By strengthening the nucleus accumbens.

3. Why will Mosley decide to start a trial of the same treatment?

A．To apply for wider use.	B．To find better treatment.
C．To rule out the placebo effect.	D．To correct the first treatment.

4. What can we infer about the treatment?

A．It is very successful and effective.

B．It will be applied to people with anorexia soon.

C．It is only adopted by people with severe anorexia.

D．It is an extreme treatment and needs improvement.
