Test3(2024·河南郑州三模)
Several years ago, I experienced daily severe headaches that made me want to bang my head against a brick wall. I was desperate to find a cure. 1
In my hopelessness, my father suggested acupuncture (针灸), a treatment he had experienced in Hong Kong. It had successfully relieved his lower back pain when other treatments and medicines had failed. With limited exposure to traditional Chinese medicine, I decided to give acupuncture a try.
With no particular expectations, I found myself in the office of a middle - aged woman, surrounded by Chinese herbal medicines. After explaining my issue, she placed 3 fingers on my wrist to feel my heartbeat. 2 Soon, she took out the needles, which made me somewhat uneasy as such objects typically make me uncomfortable.
3 To deal with my headaches, the treatment began on the back of my hand, far from my head. As the doctor gently handled the needles, I got the feeling that something was flowing throughout my entire body.
The doctor then continued to tap and move more needles across my body. The electricity was turned on, and the doctor left the room. 4 Around the 5 - minute mark, the doctor returned and adjusted the electricity level. A moment later, before I knew it, she turned off the electricity and removed the needles, marking an end to the 20 - minute process. She then gave me some herbal medicine to take for 5 days.
I returned to the doctor for a total of 10 sessions, and each time the same routine was repeated and the same herbal medicine was given. The true benefits of the acupuncture treatment became clear: I remained free of headaches for 2 years. 5 If you’ve experienced similar conditions, I highly recommend trying it.
A. At last, my efforts paid off.
B. I now strongly advocate acupuncture.
C. I was then guided to a room and told to lie down.
D. Despite trying different solutions, nothing worked.
E. My initial experience with acupuncture was quite surprising.
F. Though it may seem scary, the acupuncture cured my back pain.
G. Lying still, I could sense the electricity flowing throughout my body.
