Dramatic progress has been witnessed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)which benefits from those great contributions some ancient famous doctors made ant some experience they accumulated. The following three stand out among the ancient famous doctors.
Hua Tuo
Hua Tuo(145—208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people.
Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia(by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented)some 1. 600 years before Europeans did.
Zhang Zhongjing
Zhang Zhongjing (150-219), also known as Zhang Ji, was one of the most distinguished Chinese physicians during the later years of the Eastern Han dynasty. He lived in today's Nanyang in Henan Province. He was known as the "medical sage"by later generations due to his outstanding contributions to TCM.
During his time, with warlords(军阀)fighting for their own territories, many people were infected with fertility, an illness caused by fever. Zhang's family was no exception. The experience stimulated his motivation in medicine. He learned medicine by studying from his towns fellow ZhanBozu, absorbing previous medicinal literature, collecting many prescriptions; and finally writing the medical masterpiece Shanghan Zabing Lun. Unfortunately shortly after its publication the book was lost during wartime.
Li Shizhen
Li Shizhen(1518-1593)was a famous medical scientist the Ming dynasty. He loved medicine from an early age and succeeded his ancestors a doctor. He not only paid attention to accumulating experience in curing diseases, but also visited the famous mountains where medicinal materials were produced.
On this basis, it took 27 years to compile(编著)the pharmaceutical masterpiece, Compendium of Materia Medica, en is known as the "Encyclopedia of Ancient China" and has made an important contribution to the development of classical medicine China.
On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins-a girl and a boy-were born two minutes apart and exactly 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds respectively. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minute but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.
"I saw him gasp(大口嘴气), but the doctor said it was no use, " Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. "I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn't going to give up easily. "
Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.
"I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, " Kate told Today. "We'd resigned ourselves the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments. "
Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his Shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition they then talked to him.
"We were trying to let him stay, "Kate told the Daily Mail. "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and that how hard we had tried to have him. "
Then something unbelievable happened. Jamie gasped again and then he started breathing Finally, he reached for his father's finger.
The couple's lost boy had made it.
"We're the luckiest people in the world, David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily hardy-held back her tears, " Kate said, "and she kept hugging Jamie with great affection. This whole experience makes you cherish them more. ""They widened their eyes as if there were an apple in their mouths bearing the miraculous experience" David added.
a. The dying boy went back to normal.
b. The couple gave the boy a skin-to-skin contact.
c. The couple made the case for his name to the boy.
d. Doctors announced the approaching death of the boy
We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel(柴油)vehicles. Many of the world's cities are jammed with traffic, creating poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be?
There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue—a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol. here are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.
Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC:" The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress oars. These will charge more quickly, and give cars a a bigger range. "
Cost is another issue that may deter people switching to electric power. But some countries offer encouraging measures, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the Country with the most electric cars per capita(人均)at more than thirty electric cars per 1, 000 inhabitants.
But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future.
For most people, death is hard to think about. We tend to avoid the subject-involuntarily, even. The philosopher. Stephen Cave offers one explanation for this avoidance in his 2012 book, Immorality. "Death, " he writes, "presents itself as both inevitable and impossible. " You can know rationally that you will die, yet struggle to understand your nonexistence. Put another way, you cannot be conscious of your own consciousnesses.
So we dismiss death form our thoughts. But this leads us to make choice in life that actually reduce our happiness. People who express more regrets tend to be those who postpone profound activities that yield meaning, such as appreciating beauty or spending more time with loved ones. When we avoid thoughts of death, we unconsciously assume that tomorrow will look a lot like today, so we can do tomorrow what we could today. But when we focus on death, that increases the stakes at play in the present, and clarifies what we should do with our time.
By forcing ourselves to think about death, our resources-use decisions change. I ask my 20-something graduate students to estimate how many Thanksgivings they realistically have left with their parents, and then to consider how they should spend those remaining occasions. This usually simulates a strong emotional reaction. But it can also alter such decisions as where they choose to live and work. This highlights that facing discomfort and thinking seriously about the impermanence of your mortal life are important for making decisions that enhance your happiness.
There are other benefits. For example, paradoxical though it may seem, considering death can encourage positive thinking, as researchers found in 2007. People prepared to think about their death tended to focus on favorable emotional information around them, and to interpret random words in a pleasanter way. You begin to think extremely clearly, and realize that you have a choice about how to see present moment—and choose the positive.
If you insist ignoring your own death, you are likely to make decisions that cause you to sleepwalk through life. You may not be dead yet, but you are not fully alive either. I you can look across that border with resolve and confidence, you will experience every day fully and deeply.

It was just a typical morning of an ordinary workday. I was at the1 , on my way to the lab where I was a postdoctoral fellow. But something began to2 inside me as I watched the preple around me—headphones hanging from their ears, eyes cast down,3 faces. They looked unhappy. And I realized that I was one of them. Suddenly, I could no longer4 my work life and booked a one-way ticket to fly home.
Over the years, I had grown more competitive due to the 5 of finishing my Ph. D. Those who could have been partners became competitors I disliked and the effect of this competition was exactly the6 of what I had hoped for. I began to feel lonely and lost. I became less and less 7 in my scientific work. I hit my8 point that day at the bus station. I had to end this. I emailed my professors, explaining that I had put the9 firs and myself second for too long.
Shortly after I got back home, I started to receive some emails from my workmates—I guessed they expected me to join them again soon, After a few10 asking how i he emails many expressed their stress of academic life.

Chinese civilization has been marked, in my humble opinion, by three distinct features; evolution with continuity, inclusiveness, and receiving and sharing the goods of civilization.
China's modernization process over the past four decades(create) a new there is a partnership between the ancient and modern, generating contextthere is a partnership between the ancient and modern, 8neratingsomething new and genuine. China is not a stranger to this evolutionary process. It adapted "socialism" to the Chinese context, devising socialism with Chinese characteristics taking into (consider) the changing Chinese and world reality.
With regard to inclusiveness, Chinese civilization has been open to positive outside inferences, Proved by the inclusion of Buddhism and Islam into Chinese society. China has always welcomed the positive aspects of other civilizations while contributing its civilization achievements(enrich) other civilizations. Chinese music did not shy away from(adopt)musical instruments from the Middle East, like the fantastic pipa, and making itessential and beautiful part of Chinese musical culture.
When it comes to sharing, one of the(great) gifts China gave to the world through the ancient Silk Road was the technology of making paper on an industrial scale, which revolutionized the spread of science and philosophy in the Arab and Islamic world all the way to Europe beginning in the 8th century.
This new technology(be)as important then as the Internet is today for spreading of knowledge and communication. In Baghdad and other cultural centers during the Islamic renaissance(文艺复兴), there was a massive intellectual outpouring, which the Chinese invention of paper, would have been limited in scope.
Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out of the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group
"Congratulations, son, " his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he'd win again
He took first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned cut, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place-and then third—and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. "Mike, we all love ice cream, but it's not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it's time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming. "
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn't perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra-weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. Then came the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn't sure what to expect.
