21、Getting Motivated to Learn

Feeling a little unmotivated to do your schoolwork. That’s natural. It’s hard to stay focused, even when life is fairly normal. When the distractions of life tend to keep you sidetracked (拖延), get moving again with some of the following suggestions.

Don’t let others be a bad influence. “Live for the moment.” “【1】” “Don’t you want to have some fun?” “School’s a joke!” Don’t let them tell you what you want. You know what you want.

Keep your curiosity alive. 【2】 What inspires your curiosity? What do you question or doubt? Getting an education isn’t just about test scores and grades. Occasionally go beyond what your teachers require or what your textbook tells you.

Change your situation. When you find yourself completely unmotivated, you may need to change your situation. When you have a choice, seek out instructors who will inspire and encourage you; avoid those with whom you don’t seem to connect. If you find yourself with a teacher you feel isn’t the best for you, try changing your class schedule. 【3】

Use your talents and abilities. Do you have an essay to write or a speech to make? 【4】 Is music your passion? Be creative and use your talent to make your next class presentation.

Remember your dreams. What are your dreams for the future? Perhaps, you dream of writing the great American novel one day. You love writing fiction, but you feel stifled (窒息) with the writing assignments you’re given in school. 【5】 When you’re writing that essay, though, remember that those writing skills you’re learning and perfecting — even those boring grammar rules — can be applied to all of your fiction writing.

A．That’s understandable!

B．Forget that stupid class.

C．That’s impossible.

D．What are you interested in?

E．Pick a topic in which you are talented.

F．How can you keep away from boring lessons?

G．Don’t be afraid to drop a class and add another.

TCM Breaks New Ground

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is precious treasure of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people’s health and promoting social progress.

There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and Western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that cannot replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic (慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is why some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.

Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a shared opinion in Chinese society. The Chinese government has made policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.

The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方). The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, such as acupuncture (针灸). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.

As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.
