During the 2016 RIO Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. 1. In fact, he just visited a doctor of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping (拔火罐)”.

TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine (《黄帝内经》), came out more than 2000 years ago. 2. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. 3. TCM helps to do that. Quiet specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.

For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. 4. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often, just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.”

Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. 5.

A. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

B. The book is about the relationship between man and nature.

C. What happened to him?

D. But TCM thinks it’s wrong.

E. The human body needs such a balance too.

Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常青藤)plant. The half?dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.

“There are only five，now，” said Joanna.

“Five what，dear？What are you counting？”

“The ivy leaves，” Joanna answered. “When the last one goes，I'll die. I've known that for two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it？”

“Joanna，don't say that. Now，eat some soup and I'll finish my picture.”

“I don't want any soup，” said Joanna，looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”

“Joanna dear，try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”

Mr Berman，who was over 60 years old，lived downstairs. He was a painter too，but he never sold anything，and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.

“She can't really think about this will happen！The poor woman！” he cried.

…

Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days，the leaf was still there.

“Susie，” said Joanna，“I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup，dear.”

The next day，the doctor said，“She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs is dying. There's no hope for him，I'm afraid.”

That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom.

“Joanna dear，Mr Berman died today. And do you know why？One terrible，cold wet night he took a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up，and— oh，look at the last ivy leaf on the wall！Why didn't it ever move in the wind？Can't you see？It was Mr Berman's last great picture. He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”
