Here are two pieces of news from a newspaper.

Hong Kong’s first sightseeing restaurant bus went into service, offering tourists and locals a fresh experience of sightseeing and dinning. People now don’t need to plan where to go or worry about where to eat. The sightseeing restaurant bus has two floors with 47 seats. It tours around the city while serving food prepared by the famous Michelin restaurant there. Its service includes day and night tours, with day tour covering over 20 sights from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island or to the New Territories. The two-and-a-half-hour day tour costs each passenger 380 HK dollars($48.9)。

Night tours are only for booking out the whole bus and guests can choose the route(路线)for themselves.

With no smile and only terrible teeth, two robot-like dinosaurs(恐龙)standing at the desk are always ready to

help customers check in. They are professional workers for Henn-na Hotel in China, Japan, the second robot-staffed hotel. Robots in this hotel can greet guests in English, Chinese and Japanese languages and every room has a doorkeeper robot called “Tapia”, who can talk to customers or can offer such services as turning on or off TV or providing weather news.

During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him? In fact, he just visited a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and

had “cupping”(拨火罐).

Massage(按摩) and acupuncture(针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. In acupuncture, doctors put long needles(针) into the patients’ heads, faces, arms. It takes away pain, though the look is funny.

TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2,000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced(平衡) if yin and yang work well together. The human body needs such a balance, too. TCM helps to do that. Quite 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. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. 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. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.
