AggressiveCThe Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the
27、 world.Westerners understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸、拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S. swimmer Michael Phelp back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention dur
28、ing the Rio Olympics in 2016.As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 WHO member countries have given appro
29、val to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs are made into pills, power and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ing
30、redients(原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being
31、 unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new
32、products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescription handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyous winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine for her research into malaria(疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in Chinas TCM industry
33、. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.28. Why does the author mentioned the example of Michael Phelps?A. Because he was injured in his swimming.B.

36、 Medicine-making companies lack creativityB. Prescription are got from the pastC. Western companies are more experienced D. Medicine-making companies lack driving force DDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in
37、formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture. For example, someone might say: “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”. This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We
38、then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicia
39、ns often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, an honest statement wou
40、ld have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to
41、 take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well.32. The underlined word “opponents” in Parag
