It is based on the idea that there are areas in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body. A reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas of a patients feet and hands to relieve symptoms or pain in other areas.ReflexologyText AThis type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems, nor does it involve any medication. Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology is effective for chronic pain, headache, and sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure to feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. It promotes the natural, healthy functions and well-being of the entire body. It is often used along with other types of treatments, including conventional medicine.This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexologists only tools are his or her hands. Pressure is strong, but not uncomfortable. Its not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.A typical treatment session lasts for one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session; the last 10 minutes are dedicated to the hands. After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain good health.Comprehension CheckCircle the letter that best completes each sentence.Circle the letter that best completes each sentence.1.

Which health treatments have you ever tried?Text BHealth treatmentHOMEOPATHYHomeopathy was founded in the late eighteenth century in Germany. It is a low-cost system of natural medicine used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, particularly in India, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Homeopathic remedies always come from plants and other natural sources, and they are designed to try to get the body to heal itself. The remedies are usually taken under the tongue.CONVENTIONAL MEDICINEThe beginnings of conventional medicine can be traced back to the 5th century B.C. in ancient Greece. It is based on the scientific study of the human body and illness. In the last century, there has been great progress in what doctors have been able to do with modern surgery and new medications. These scientific advances have made conventional medicine the method many people choose first when they need medical help.Surgical techniques have greatly improved over the last century.Text BACUPUNCTUREAcupuncture originated in China over five thousand years ago. Today, it is used worldwide for a variety of problems. Acupuncture needles are inserted at certain points on the body to relieve pain and /or restore health. Many believe acupuncture may be effective in helping people stop smoking as well.HERBAL THERAPYHerbal medicine, often taken as teas or pills, has been practiced for thousands of years in almost all cultures around the world. In fact, many conventional medicines were discovered by scientists studying traditional uses of herbs for medicinal purposes. The World Health Organization claims that 80% of the worlds population uses some form of herbal therapy for their regular health care.Herbs are used to treat many ailments.An acupuncturist inserts needles at certain points on the body.Text BSPIRITUAL HEALINGAlso known as faith healing, or mind and body connection, various forms of spiritual healing exist around the world. This is a form of healing that uses the mind or religious faith to treat illness. A number of conventional doctors even say that when they have not been able to help a patient, spiritual healing just may work.CHIROPRACTICChiropractic was introduced in the U.S. in 1895 and is now used by 15 million people worldwide for the treatment of pain, backache, injuries and some illnesses. Chiropractic uses no medications, but it is sometimes practiced along with herbal or homeopathic therapies.

Daily Medications When people feel sick they usually go to see the doctor. Doctors write a prescription for different medicines. Besides the doctor prescribed medicines there is a large category of medicines for daily use which are called over-the-counter medicines. We have to read the medicine label information before using such medicines including painkillers, cold tablets, eye drops or different cold medicines. The information tells the dosage, warnings, whether to or not to take with food, and possible side effects of the medicines for instance, taking a painkiller for a headache or for pains in your body. The medicine label information will tell you how much medicine and when to take it, things you should not do, and side-effects the medicine may cause. Although the daily use of medicine is very convenient, seeing a doctor is always a much better choice. If you have to self-prescribe, be sure to read the medicine label information carefully.

What do you think the government should do to deal with the spread of AIDS?Text CText Understanding the structure of the textInferential QuestionsVocabulary Exercise33Text CTesting for AIDSFrom The New York TimesAt the time this essay was published, William Bennett was secretary of education and Gary Bauer a White House aide. The names and positions have changed, but the argument continues. The editorial was published in 1987. Para 1 Why do not we compel everyone to be tested for AIDS as the basis for halting further spread of the virus? That is a natural first thought to anyone who ponders the deadly epidemic. But it is only a first thought. That some senior administration officials argue for mandatory AIDS testing shows how late in the day they have arrived at step one. William Bennett, the secretary of education, wants AIDS tests to be given to everyone admitted to the hospital or applying for a marriage license, Gary Bauer, a senior White House aide, says opponents of such tests are promoting ”a bizarre type of enforced ignorance.” The Public Health Service now says that all immigrants will be screened for AIDS virus. There are at least five reasons for believing that advocates of general forced testing are opinionated, hasty or poorly informed.Text C Para 2 Lesson One: Do not drive victims underground. Homosexuals and intravenous drug abusers, the principal victims, are not mainstream Americans. Living at the edge of social tolerance in many states, they face plenty of discrimination already. Their cooperation in changing their own behavior is crucial in slowing the diseases spread to other groups. Mandatory testing is the surest way to discourage them from contact with health authorities. Para 3 Lesson Two: A consensus is not a conspiracy. No one should lightly deny public health officials the tools they need to combat AIDS, including use of the AIDS antibody tests. What public officials want, for the reason cited above, is more voluntary testing, not mandatory testing. Mr. Bennett seems to believe that the federal public health agency has fallen under the influence of homosexuals who oppose mandatory testing for self-interested reasons. But the reason for agreement is not conspiracy. Both groups believe voluntary testing is the better way of halting AIDS.Text C Para 4 Lesson Three: Why in hospitals? Hospital patients are predominantly the elderly and the very young, two categories least likely to have AIDS. Why does Mr. Bennett propose to look there for the virus instead of among high-risk groups? Because hospitals are where testing is easiest. So too argued the drunk driver who lost his keys in the dark and explained he was searching for them under the lamppost because the light was better. Para 5 Lesson Four: False alarms have grim consequences. The two present tests for AIDS virus are highly specific but even in conjunction are not totally accurate. The danger of “false positives”, diagnosing individuals as exposed to AIDS when they are not, is probably minute with high-risk populations. But the danger grows rapidly when screening large populations at low risk. According to a paper to be published shortly by Michael J. Barry and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health, the two standard AIDS tests would identify 28 true positives, 2 false negatives and 11 false positives when applied to a low-risk population. What those figures say is that, for every 28 cases correctly diagnosed, the tests risk falsely informing 11 individuals that they earn the virus of a deadly disease and should never have children. Without guarantees of confidentiality, the insurers, employers, landlords and classmates of these 11 individuals may also learn, and act on the false information. What a burden for mandatory testers to bear.Text C Para 6 Lesson Five: AIDS makes a poor political football. Mr. Bauer believes that public health officials have few doubts in urging explicit sex education for young children, offensive as that may be to conservatives. But when it comes to testing, “the lefts political agenda takes over,” He says, “Either this is potentially the Black Death or it isnt.” In fact, no one knows how widely AIDS will spread, but its prudent to take precautions. Teaching teenagers safe sex is an effective precaution, and mandatory testing is not. 11 AIDS is a medical issue. Those who politicize it, or see political motives where none exist, are seriously delaying national policy on AIDS and measures to save lives. Para 7 The only known way to curb AIDS is to persuade people to change behavior. The administration still has not mounted a massive public education program of the sort already under way in several European countries. The secretary of education should be leading the charge for education about AIDS and voluntary testing. Mandatory testing should be his last thought, not his first.

It really helped with my back pain. Traditional acupuncture, as now practiced, involves the insertion of stainless steel needles into various areas of the body. A low-frequency current may be applied to the needles to produce greater stimulation. Although there is no need to take medicine along with acupuncture, there are some procedures used separately or together with acupuncture which include: moxibustion (burning of floss or herbs applied to the skin); injection of sterile water, or procaine. According to Chinese traditional medical opinion, people get sick when the body becomes unbalanced. Acupuncture is way of adjusting the balance. Although lingering problems still exist in terms of the mechanism of this approach, I continue to believe it is a good form of treatment.Reference Sample Extended ExercisesClozeSequencing SentencesTranslationIdioms and ProverbsProject-leading ActivitiesFree PracticeDo You Know?3333ClozeFill in the blanks with the words given in the box.

Considering this difference, the attributive may end up being put forward when translating. For Example: Scientists everywhere in the world are looking for the efficient methods to make the air clean and protect it from the pollution by all kinds of industrial harmful waste gases.全世界的科学家都在寻找净化空气、防止空气受到各种有害工业废气污染的有效方法。TranslationTranslate the following sentences into Chinese with the Translate the following sentences into Chinese with the strategy introduced in the box.
