Part Ⅰ Vocabulary & Grammar
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining in global popularity.According to a government White Paper, TCM has been introduced to 183 countries and regions around the world.
Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture (针刺疗法), cupping and massage (按摩)．The purple, injury like marks left on a US swimmer back from cupping became the centre of attention during the Rio Olympics.
As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment.It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 WHO members have approved the practice of acupuncture, not many recognise the Chinese herbal medicine.TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.
Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup.Their quality and quantity, and the processing methods jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription.Compared with Western medicine, which has standardised drug production processes and treatment methods, the chemical compositions and functions of herbs being unclear and their effects being unstable.But its standardisation has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patent TCM drugs.
Another factor that has prevented the development of Chinese herbs is the lack of creativity.While Western medicine companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past.Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry.However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.

[福建福州八中2021期中]Mice and rats have long been used in medical research because of their biological similarities to humans.Now, scientists have trained rats to drive small vehicles created for them.One of the main findings of the experiment was that the driving activity seemed to help the rats relax.
Researchers at the University of Richmond in Virginia led the experiment.The team built tiny cars out of plastic and other materials.The vehicles had an opening at one end where electrical wires were attached.By touching one of the three different wires, the rat could control the direction of the vehicle.
Researchers trained 17 rats over several months to drive around the experiment containers.The animals proved that they could be trained to drive forward as well as in other directions to get to the sweet treats placed inside the containers.

The researchers examined levels of two hormones (激素) in the rats—one causes stress and another reduces it.All rats that took part in the training had higher levels of the hormone that reduces stress.The research suggests the increased relaxation levels could be linked to the enjoyment of successfully learning a new skill.The team also found that the rats that drove themselves showed higher levels of the stress fighting hormone than those that simply rode in small cars controlled by humans.
Lambert said the most exciting result of the experiment for her was about the possible effects on humans.The research may open new areas of non drug treatments for people suffering from mental health problems.
“There's no cure for schizophrenia or depression and we need to catch up，” she said.“And I think we need to look at different animal models and different types of tasks and really respect that behaviour can change our neurochemistry (神经化学)．”
Speaking to the British based magazine New Scientist, Lambert said her team is planning to continue experiments to learn more about how the rats learn to drive.The new research will also examine why some activities appear to reduce stress, and which areas of the brain are involved in the process.
