21、 Acupuncture is known as “zhenjiu” in Chinese. Growing up, I'd always considered it out of date. As we know, acupuncture treatment lasts a long period and causes a lot of pain. Sometimes simply taking a pill can treat the same illness. But my experience made me change my mind.
Last month, I slept through a flight from London to Beijing. When I woke up, I found that I could no longer move my right arm and fingers. There was no pain. My arm simply didn't follow my brain's instructions to move, as if it was no longer mine.
One doctor said he could do nothing but give me some pills. “Rest for two months first and come back for an examination.” I felt great fear.
When I felt helpless, my friend, an acupuncturist in Sichuan, offered to help. I started my acupuncture treatment the next day. At first, I was worried. After a few days, I could move my fingers. Two weeks later, I could use chopsticks. Within a month, I got almost well. It was amazing. How do these tiny needles treat illnesses? Is it magic? Or simply luck? I tried to find out.
Acupuncture first appeared in China more than 2,000 years ago. It works by improving the smooth flow of “qi”. “Qi” flows through “jingluo” throughout the body.
Although acupuncture can't treat all illnesses, at least it creates a good starting point to build a healthy body. Recently, it has spread internationally, which shows the power of acupuncture. I hope this kind of traditional Chinese medicine will bring health and happiness to friends all over the world.

(2014河北)
Tuesday,1st September
I had mixed feelings today,nervous,worried,happy,excited…My heart went down when Miss Chan,our head teacher,said that Matthew and Beth,two students from England,would spend three months with us!I was worried that I had to speak English so much!But at the end of the school day,I was happier than I thought:the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.
Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had!Matthew is fantastic!His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought.The other English student,Beth,is the most helpful girl I’ve ever met.There were lots of things to do on the first day.Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices.Of course,some of the credit(功劳)should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her.Miss Chan praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected,and then Beth and I talked for a while.Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy(单人喜剧表演)at the party.We all praised him.When the bell rang to end the first school day,none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home,I had a little headache.I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.
It was really a happy day!I hope our friendship can continue,even after they have gone back to England!

24、The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地). Man can only drink and use the 3% — the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted (污染).
Now more water is needed.The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
