Westerners' understanding f TCM, hwever, may be limited t acupundure，cupping and massage (针灸，拔罐和按摩). Fr instance, the purple, injury-like marks left n US.swimmer Michael Phelps' back frm cupping fr the purpse f relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center f attentin during the Ri Olympics in 2016.
As a matter f fact, Chinese herbs play a mre imprtant rle in getting rid f diseases and keeping the bdy in gd cnditin in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment.It is therefre disheartening t knw that-while 103 Wrld Health Organizatin member cuntries have given apprval t the practice f acupuncture，nt many recgnize Chinese herbal medicine TCM falls far behind Western medicine wing partly t the slw develpment f Chinese herbs.

Chinese chemist Tu Yuyur's winning 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, the current state f affairs cannt be changed within a shrt time.

Smetimes, what my seven-year-ld tabby cat Ophelia wants is bvius. Crying in frnt f her empty fd bwl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk f starvatin. Other times, thugh, her mews are a cmplete and ttal mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Byes, cmputer scientists at Akveln, a sftware engineering cmpany based in Bellevue, Washingtn, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MewTalk app, which aims t “give cat wners the best tls available” fr interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Byes and Dreizin were lking fr data t infrm their new app, they came acrss 2019 research that revealed cat mews cntain certain shared characteristics. The study authrs then built a cmputer prgram t analyze audi recrdings f 21 adult cats mewing.
The MewTalk funders used these audi recrdings f tens f thusands f mews t develp their cmputer mdels, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it wrked. 2021 study fund MewTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app recrds yur feline’s mews and translates them int a small range f phrases, such as “I’m annyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy f MewTalk’s translatins, which further imprves the cmputer mdel. Launched in Nvember 2020, the app has been dwnladed ver 20 millin times, and Dreizin estimates that the prgram has analyzed ver a billin mews t date. “We’re the largest depsitrs f mews in this galaxy,” he quips.
The app is part f an expanding suite f technlgies designed t help us cmmunicate with ur furry friends. Anther is FluentPet, which trains yur pet t press buttns t cmmunicate a need; fr instance, a cat can learn t press a buttn that says the wrd “play”.
Cat behavirist and cmmunicatin expert Charltte de Muzn isn’t cnvinced f these prducts’ accuracy, but strengthening yur relatinship with yur cat is always a wise gal. “If peple play with the app, maybe they will becme mre attentive t their cats,” says de Muzn, f Paris Nanterre University.
32.Hw can cmputer scientists at Akveln help cat wners?
A. By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B. By getting cats rid f starvatin.
C. By filling the empty fd bwls.
D. By slving the mysteries f cats’ mews.
33.What can be inferred frm paragraph 5?
A. Users think the app very helpful.
B. Users can help t prmte the app.
C. Dreizin thinks the app is the mst accurate.
D. The prgram has analyzed billins f mews.
34.What’s Charltte’s attitude t this kind f apps?
A. Dubtful.B. Cnservative.C. Psitive.D. Negative.
35.What is the purpse f the the text?
A. T cmment n tw apps.
B. T cmpare tw similar apps.
C. T intrduce the new technlgy.
D. T recmmend an app t cats’ wners.

Sme peple say that yu can’t teach an ld dg new tricks. But it desn’t have t be that way. A new study published in Human Develpment pints ut that using a childlike way f learning can help peple f any age take n and deal with new difficult tasks. 36
G utside yur cmfrt zne. As adults, we tend t use similar skills day in and day ut: We take jbs in fields we’re already gd at, drive n the same rads t the same places, and fall int rutines we’re cmfrtable with. 37 Changing t smething mre difficult may have mre cgnitive benefits.
38 A fear f making mistakes is anther reasn why adults are s slw t learn new things; if we try and fail, we can face criticism, lse mney, r get fired. That’s why it’s imprtant t build up a supprt netwrk f peple — at wrk and at hme — wh allw yu t make mistakes and learn frm them.
Make a serius cmmitment (承诺) and dn’t give up. 39 If yu can affrd it, spending mney n a new gal — fr example, bking a trip t Rme t practice yur Italian — might als make it harder t just give up.
Learn mre than ne thing at nce. We tend t pay attentin t ne hbby r ne skill. But dividing that time and energy int three r fur areas will stretch yur brain in all different directins. 40 Fr example, maybe yu started learning a new language last year, and this year yu add singing lessns, and next year yu try smething else. Yu can add things gradually t what yu can handle.
A．Ask yur friends and family fr help.
B．The fllwing ways will d the trick.
C．Telling friends abut yur new gal can help keep yu mtivated.
D．Surrund yurself with encuraging peple and n fear fr mistakes.
E．That desn’t mean yu shuld start all the new hbbies all at nce, thugh.
F．But all this similar rutine limits the parts f the brain that we’re using regularly.
G．S feeling cmfrtable can reduce stress and make yu happier and mre prductive.

I wnder if it can pay fr yur lss.” Hwever, Osman insisted that it was nly minr damage and declined t take it.

The tw brthers were bth surprised and glad t see each ther. Osman gave them a thumbs-up and praised them happily, “Gd bys, I truly appreciate yur hnesty. Just frget abut my car.” Whatever the bys said, Osman wuldn’t take the mney. Finally, he accepted their suggestin that they make it up t him by ding sme wrk in his garden.
