First aid is a kind of help 【小题1】(give) to someone who suddenly falls ill 【小题2】gets injured before a doctor can be found. Often the illness or 【小题3】(injure) is not serious.

Now let's talk about first aid for burns. You have three layers of skin to protect【小题4】(you) against disease, poisons and the harmful rays from the sun. Your skin also【小题5】(give) you your sense of touch. First aid is a very important first step in the【小题6】(treat) of burns. People can get burnt by many things, such as hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation, the sun, electricity or chemicals.【小题7】are three types of burns, which are called first, second or third-degree burns,【小题8】 (depend) on which layers of the skin are burned.【小题9】 (difference) types of burns should be treated in different ways. Let's keep these things【小题10】mind.

Remember the cupping marks on the swimming superstar Michael Phelps at the Rio Olympics? The 【小题1】(shock) red marks opened people’s eyes to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the healing effects of cupping therapy.

Cupping, also termed as “horn method” in ancient China, 【小题2】(become) popular in China for thousands of years. It is one of the physiotherapy (物理疗法) 【小题3】(method) of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When people apply cupping therapy, special cups are heated, 【小题4】 helps to create a vacuum (真空) and applied on specific treatment sites.

Cupping therapy has developed alongside TCM theory as part of its strong foundation. TCM believes that the human body 【小题5】(associate) with the dynamic balance of opposites in the form of Yin and Yang. Pain results 【小题6】   an imbalance in this unity within the body. Cupping allows for the decongestion (充血) of skin and tissues. Cupping therapy can 【小题7】(effective) stimulate Channels and Collaterals (经络), awaken vital energy and blood circulation, 【小题8】 relieve muscle fatigue (疲劳), balancing Yin and Yang.

Due to the continued 【小题9】(develop) of TCM, more and more westerners have come to recognize and accept the healthy treatment concept offered by TCM. At the same time, TCM doctors continue to promote the treatment methods of TCM in every way possible, including through acupuncture, cupping, massages, Qigong, and Tai Chi, all in 【小题10】 attempt to prevent disease and improve fitness.

Robots are highly beneficial to healthcare. Statistics show that around 16 million patients in China are 【小题1】 need of orthopedic (矫形外科的) surgery. Surgical robots help surgeons figure out the problem, 【小题2】 carry the risk of exposing both surgeons and patients to radiation damage. The all-in-one orthopedic robot (AIOOR) solves this problem. Developed by orthopedic 【小题3】 (special) Zhang Yuanzhi and his team, AIOOR is the first of its kind in China. Its cutting-edge imaging system and software 【小题4】 (short) the time needed for complex operations, such as those for spinal injuries, and also makes such surgeries much 【小题5】 (safe).

Advanced robotics, moreover, considerably eases patients’ discomfort created by the traditional gastroscopy (胃镜), 【小题6】 requires that the physician put a tube down the patient’s mouth to the stomach. The discomfort is unbearable to many patients, 【小题7】 (make) some avoid checkups and consequently miss the best time for treatment. The NaviCam, a system developed by ANKON Medical Technologies in Shanghai, enables 【小题8】 (entire) painless stomach visualization instead. Patients only need to “eat” 【小题9】 capsule-sized robot, and the examination is completed within 15 minutes. After the procedure, the robot is removed from patients’ body. So far, these robots 【小题10】 (employ) in about 1,000 medical centers across China.
