The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸) toperform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep.This involves placing flexible needles (针) into certainparts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores inChina and everyone may buy them.
To learn how to use needle takes about onemonth of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person whoperforms the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselvesare not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so thepatient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. Theneedles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to beprevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needlesplaced in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or4 needles.
Today the Chinese doctors are trying tolearn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory toexplain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist,for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
A patient who needs an operation is given achoice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used forputting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients chooseacupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas (然而，反之) the chemical maymake the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that.We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, thatit is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. Butlaziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complexreasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy aresuffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of theirfellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear ofridicule or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may beparalyzed by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts offantasies (幻想)may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning greatdeals or fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever"lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work;strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating--rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful. Likeprocrastinators (拖延者), some people may look lazy when they are really thinking,planning, contemplating (沉思), researching. We shouldall remember that great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newtonwasn´t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theoryof gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" were causedby the worker´s taking time to check each step of his work and to do his jobright. And sometimes, being lazy that is, taking time off for a rest is goodfor the overworked students or executive.
Taking a rest can be particularly helpful tothe athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor who´s simply working himselfovertime too many evenings at the clinic. So be careful when you are tempted tocall someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, and planning his orher next book.
{TS} The main idea of this passage isthat ______.

Every day 25 million U.S. children fideschool buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than forpassenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year ridingon large school buses, and nearly four times that number arc killed outsidebuses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation´s school childrenare transported to and from school safety.
Even though the number of school buscasualties (伤亡事故) is not large, the safety of children is always of intense publicconcern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people aredivided about what needs to be done particularly whether seat belts should bemandatory (强制).
Proponents of seat belts on schoolbuses--many of them parents and medical organizations argue that seat belts arcnecessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessonsabout the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A sidebenefit, they point out, is those seats belts help keep children in theirseats, away from the bus driver.
Opponents of seat belt installation suggestthat children are already well protected by the school buses that adhere to theNation Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) safety requirements setin 1977. They also believe that many children won´t wear seat belts anyway andthat may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.
A new Research Council report on school bussafety suggests that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that maybe more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committeesuggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safetyeffectiveness as seat belts.
The report sponsored by the Department ofTransportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively whiletaking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.
{TS} Each year, children killedoutside buses in the loading zones, are about ______.

I had always known that the Chinese NewYear was different from our own but otherwise assumed that the way we Europeansdivided up the year was something in common. Quite recently, though, I foundout that there used to be some pretty dramatic differences. During the MiddleAges, the official start of the year varied enormously within Europe. In Spain,Portugal, Switzerland and Germany it began on Christmas Day, whereas it startedon the 1st March in Venice and the 21st in England. In Rome, it was at one timethe 25th January but then changed to the 25th March. In Russia the new yearcoincided with the spring equinox (春分).
If this isn´t complicated enough the Frenchused to start their official year from Easter day. Easter, as I am sure you allknow, is a moveable feast whose complicated calculation is quite a mystery tome. However, this French style of working out the beginning of the year led tosome years being as short as three hundred days while others could stretch tofour hundred with two spring times with one at each end!
With all these different dating systems inoperation you can imagine the enormous potential for confusion. This can createheadaches for students engaged in studying the period from original documentsas they can actually find somebody´s death being recorded months before theyare married and battles still being fought weeks after a peace agreement hadbeen signed! It would all depend on where the events had been recorded. As anactual example the student could easily get muddled (糊涂的) over the date of thefamous trial of the Knights Templar in Paris. According to records this longand complex trial ended in 1313 as the New Year didn´t officially start untilthe 7th April. Fortunately for all of us these differences were eventuallysolved. In December 1564 the French decided to start the New Year from the 1 stJanuary. The Russians adopted this new style of dating in 1725 and the Englisha further twenty-seven years later.
{TS} The writer______.
