A British friend tld me he culdn’t understand why Chinese peple lve cracking sunflwer seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack s much. “I’ve met a lt f lder Chinese and many have a crack (裂缝) in their frnt teeth; I believe that’s frm cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never nticed the habit, but nce he mentined it, I suddenly became mre aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV r typing a reprt, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflwer seeds. My friend desn’t like sunflwer seeds, and, t him, it seems unnecessary t wrk s much just t get ne small seed.
When we were yung, the whle family wuld usually get tgether fr Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived clse t ne anther, usually in a small city, and smetimes even neighbrs wuld g dr-t-dr n Chinese New Year’s Eve t check ut what every family was making.
I remember my parents wuld be in the kitchen cking. Out in the living rm, a large table wuld already be laid ut, cmplete with fancy tableclth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full f candy, fruits and sunflwer seeds. Sme f the dishes were t be ffered t ur ancestrs later, while thers were fr neighbrs and children t eat befre the evening feast. I must have learned hw t crack sunflwer seeds back then.
I dn’t think it’s right t criticize ne’s chice in fd r eating habits, n matter hw strange they may seem.
It’s nt nly in China. When I went abrad, I fund peple had all kinds f strange habits when it came t fd. In Denmark, they put salted red fish n bread and eat it fr dinner, n matter hw much it ruins yur breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s cnnected t their certain culture.

In the past, westerners were nt familiar with Traditinal Chinese Medicine(TCM), but nw it is becming glbally ppular. Accrding t a gvernment reprt, TCM has been intrduced int 183 cuntries and regins arund the wrld.
Hwever, westerners nly have a little knwledge f TCM. Their understanding f TCM may be limited t acupuncture(针灸), cupping and massage(按摩). Fr instance, the purple, injury-like marks left n a U.S. famus swimmer’s back frm cupping t relax his muscles and reduce pain became the centre f attentin during the Ri Olympics in 2016.
In fact, Chinese herbs(药草) play a mre imprtant rle in curing diseases and keeping the bdy in gd cnditin in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. Therefre, it is disappinting t knw that althugh 103 Wrld Health Organisatin member cuntries have given apprval t the practice f acupuncture, nt many recgnise Chinese herbal medicine. TCM is much less ppular than Western medicine partly due t the slw develpment f Chinese herbs.
Herbs can be made int pills, pwder and sup. The kind f herbs used, their quality, quantity and the prcessing tgether determine the effectiveness f the prescriptin(处方). Cmpared with Western medicine, which has standardised drug prductin prcesses and treatment methds, TCM lacks standardisatin. The chemical cmpsitin and functins f its medicine are still unclear and their effects are unstable. Frtunately, standardisatin has imprved in recent decades and a number f factries are increasingly prducing patented TCM drugs.
Anther reasn why TCM prescriptin drugs have develped slwly is that it lacks creativity. While Western medicine-making cmpanies cme up with new prducts every year, TCM drug prducers tend t make medicine accrding t prescriptins handed dwn frm the past. That Chinese chemist Tu Yuyu wn the 2015 Nbel Prize in Physilgy r Medicine fr her research int malaria(疟疾)treatment may drive creativity t sme extent in China’s TCM industry.
Hwever, Rme was nt built in a day. The current situatin cannt be changed within a shrt time.
8．What des the example f an American swimmer in Paragraph 2 shw?
A．Westerners knw a little abut TCM. B．Cupping is a kind f imprtant TCM treatment.
C．He was injured in his swimming. D．TCM is very ppular amng westerners.
9．Why dn’t sme member cuntries f WHO recgnise Chinese herbal medicine?
A．Chinese herbs can get rid f diseases. B．They nly apprve the practice f acupuncture.
C．Western medicine is mre effective. D．Medicine made ut f Chinese herbs develps slwly.
10．Hw des the writer feel abut the future f TCM?
A．Anxius. B．Negative. C．Optimistic. D．Disappinted.
11．What is the best title f the passage?
A．The Effectiveness f TCM. B．The Barriers t TCM’s Develpment.
C．The Weakness f TCM. D．The Future f TCM.

Thrugh it, we may see the spiritual supprt f the ancient peple acrss centuries. Nw, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage in China.
