Question

【题目】阅读填空

During the 2016 RIO Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. 【1】 In fact, he just visited a doctor of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping (拔火罐)”.

TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine (《黄帝内经》), came out more than 2000 years ago. 【2】 In Chinese culture, yin and yang are two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. 【3】 TCM helps to do that. Quiet specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.

For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. 【4】 Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often, just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.”

Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. 【5】

A. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

B. The book is about the relationship between man and nature.

C. What happened to him?

D. But TCM thinks it’s wrong.

E. The human body needs such a balance too.
