主題對話：Traditional1 Medicine : A Friend's Advice

Paul : I ve been feeling really tired and sick lately.
Li-Ling : Oh yeah? How's your chi?
Paul : Chi That s the term from traditional Chinese medicine for the energy2 flow3 in your body, right?
Li-Ling : Right! Your chi flows within twelve body channels4, and along those channels are acupuncture5 points.
Paul : Acupuncture? You mean putting needles6 in people s bodies? That s scary!
Li-Ling : It sounds worse than it feels. Anyway, aside from acupuncture, there s also cupping7!
Paul : I ve heard of that, too. In cupping, the doctor places hot cups over parts of your body and the tissue8 below becomes filled with blood, right? It seems painful9!
Li-Ling : Are you a man or a mouse? The idea behind cupping is that releasing the trapped10 blood from under your skin will let your chi flow freely. It'll invigorate11 you!!
Paul : So, do you really think those traditional treatments12 will work?
Li-Ling : They might not work without fail, but they have been around for hundreds of years!
