Herbal medicine,which has been used for medicinal purposes,is the use of plants to treat disease.Many herbalists use the entire plant,from the flowers,stems,leaves,and roots,in the form of everything from teas to tablets.These plants contain natural,chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases,such as allergies(過(guò)敏癥),asthma(哮喘)and cancer,among others.
Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because,compared with chemical medicine,herbal medicine has its own advantages.Herbal medicine is more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases.The chemical medicine prescribed by a chemist could have negative side effects,which,however,many of the herbal medicine does not have.If any,they are softer than chemical medicine.Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems.Herbal medicine can help weight loss more effectively and improve overall health.
However,cure using herbal medicine would take some time,and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience.Worse still,herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients(成分)and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic.A point worth mentioning here is that some herbal medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects.These side effects may not be shown at once,but would take months or even years.In the first stages,if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you,it is wise to stop using it.
When used correctly,herbs can help treat a variety of diseases.But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated,so herbal products are sometimes labeled wrongly and may contain additives that are not listed on the label.Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with conventional drugs,and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses(劑量).Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.

1.Directions:Read the following three passages.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.
New Year's Resolution Every time a new year rolls around,people set out to better themselves.They promise they will lose weight,find a new job,or maybe even take that vacation they've always talked about.But why do we make these promises to ourselves,and where did this tradition come from?Why does this tradition live on when so many people fail to keep the resolutions they make Well,we can start by blaming the ancient Babylonians.
Around 4,000 years ago in Babylon,the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held.The collective ceremonial events lasted 11 days.The Babylonians felt this would help them start the new year off on the right foot.Resolutions continued on with the Romans.Julius Caesar decided to make a change.He consulted with the best astronomers and mathematicians of the time and introduced a calendar which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today.Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year to mark new beginnings.
To this day the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue on around the world.So much so that a website event launched a Resolution Map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time.The most common new year wishes are Lose Weight,Get Organized,Save More Money,Enjoy Life,Stay Healthy,Learn Something New,Quit Smoking,Help Others Pursue Their Goals,and Spend More Quality Time With Family Members.
However,how many resolutions finally come true?No matter how many people participate in the project,only few can maintain their resolutions;only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out.If those fail resolutions look familiar and remind you that the whole concept is a complete failure,or if they inspire you to create your own list of promises for a new year,just remember that this tradition is destined to live on.We have 4,000 years of history telling us so and that's a statistic that's hard to argue with.發(fā)布:2025/1/1 10:0:1組卷:7引用:2難度:0.5 -
2.閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
The World Rice Conference has voted Cambodian rice the best rice in the world.Cambodia produced just one percent of the world's rice.It is trying to increase that amount,and the award may help.
The country's rice industry is small and not well-organized.As a result,large amounts of unprocessed rice are sent to Thailand and Vietnam where it is sold for a higher price.But rice means a lot to Cambodia's economy.Many Cambodians survive in part by growing rice on small pieces of land.
Sok Puthyvuth is the president of Cambodia Rice Federation. "We need better seeds,we need a better collection process,we need better storage,we need better logistics(物流),and also our export needs to brand Cambodian rice to be one of the top brands in the world." Keat Chhon is Cambodia's former deputy prime minister.He says increasing rice export will improve the lives of many of the country's farmers.He says the purpose of the rice policy is to reduce poverty and help people in rural areas earn more.This is highly beneficial to making the development gap between rural and urban areas in Cambodia smaller.
But exporter David Van says the country's rice industry continues to suffer from the same problems it has had for many years.He says these include the high cost of electricity and a lack of good seeds.And he says the country's rice industry needs to change the way it markets its product to show it is different from what other countries offer. "You need to differentiate your product from that of your competitor next door.Otherwise,your product will continue being compared automatically to what the next-door competitor is offering." Cambodia faces other problems as well.Countries like Myanmar also want to increase their rice export.And,Thailand has extra rice,which is forcing down prices.發(fā)布:2024/12/10 23:0:1組卷:4引用:1難度:0.3 -
3.閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
Speed is very important in avalanche (雪崩)rescues.There will be narrow chances to escape if a skier is buried for 30 minutes or more.Now that 30 minutes can mean the difference between life and death for a skier lost on a snowy mountain,most people would depend on lifesaving dogs.
Noble works as a rescue team member in a vacation land,California.He tells us,"Dogs run fastest when an accident happens." His partner Wylee,a lifesaving dog,can search an accident scene the size of a football field.It only needs 5 to 10 minutes.However,5 rescue team members have to spend a couple of hours in the same area.
Apart from its excellent speed,Noble chooses Wylee as his partner partly because it weighs only about half what other kinds of dogs weigh.Rescue team members have to carry their dogs to search sites in addition to carrying 60 pound backpacks with food,water and other equipment.The dogs need the lift so that don't get tired before they start working.
There aren't adequate data on how often dogs take part in avalanche searches or how often they are able to help local people in danger.But the dogs don't save that many people.That's because there aren't that many to save.A quarter of people in danger die from serious injuries before the snow stops moving.Of those buried who weren't killed by injuries,half die within 20 minutes.If there is a chance of rescue,though,the dogs also cut search time for the remains.
Erica Mueller,a famous director,wanted to see how the lifesaving dogs worked,so she volunteered to spend part of an hour in a roomy snow cave waiting to be found.She was armed with a radio and was wearing several layers to stay warm.After being rescued by Wylee,she said,"I can't talk like a survivor,but it was definitely a cool way to see how well trained those dogs are."發(fā)布:2024/12/18 5:30:1組卷:6引用:2難度:0.4
