It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.

During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.

“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”

One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗瘧疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famous internationally.

However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.

Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.

“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.

1.The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to .

A. introduce the film to readers

B. show TCM is increasingly popular

C. arouse readers’ interest in Western medicine

D. prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries

2.We can learn from the passage that .

A. TCM is not exact in curing diseases

B. 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals

C. 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM

D. Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM

3.According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should .

A. combine western medicine

B. face no challenge at all

C. give an exact description of its effects

D. complete with western medicine

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. A report on TCM B. Opinions about TCM

C. TCM & Western Medicine D. Traditional healing spreads

Mrs. Obama spoke to the graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. High School on Saturday in her only high school commencement (畢業(yè)典禮) speech this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of Tennessee State University.

The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her time in college focusing on academic achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a high?profile job, she said, she ended up leaving to focus on public service. “My message to you today is that don't waste a minute living someone else's dream,” she said. “It takes lots of real work to discover what brings you joy and you won't find what you love simply by checking mailboxes or surfing the Internet.”

She said MLK reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago.“My No.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,” she said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievements.” “Unfortunately, schools like this don't exist for every kid,” she said. “You are blessed.”

The first lady told the graduates that failure may be a part of their college careers, and that how they respond to difficulties determines what they will become. “That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times,” she said. “But you can only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail. Overcoming difficulties has been a mark of many great people,” she said. “Oprah Winfrey was demoted(降職) from her first job as a news reporter, and now she doesn't even need a last name,” she said of media giant Oprah Winfrey. “And then there's this guy Barack Obama. I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures. He lost his first race for Congress,” the first lady joked, “and now he gets to call himself my husband.”

1.When choosing her high school, Mrs Obama .

A. wanted to study law

B. was pushed to make a choice

C. failed to find an ideal school

D. was willing to meet challenges

2.By mentioning Oprah's example, Mrs Obama wanted to tell the graduates .

A. to be brave enough to risk failing

B. to work hard to get promoted

C. to start as a news reporter

D. not to waste time doing what they dislike

3.Where can you probably find this text?

A. In a news report.

B. In a politics book.

C. In a graduation paper.

D. On Mrs Obama's blog.

4.What do we know about Mrs Obama from the text?
