It was developed long ago, perhaps as early as 2000 BCE. There is evidence that acupuncture dates back to the Stone Age, when stone tools called bian were used to press areas of the body. 在最负盛名的中国医术中，有一种“神针”之术，即针灸。这种医术历史悠久，最早或起源于公元前 2000 年。有证据显示，针刺疗法始于石器时代，当时一种名为“砭”的石器被用来按压身体部位。 para. 1 2.shape: _________ various shapes 9 shapes 1.

As acupuncture developed, the simple bian stones were replaced by stone needles. Eventually, metal needles began to appear and took the place of stone needles. These solid needles are made of different metals, such as gold and silver. Some acupuncturists today still use gold and silver needles, but the majority have now switched to stainless steel ones. 随着针刺疗法的发展，简单的砭被石针替代。最终金属针开始出现并取代了石针。这些实心的针由不同的金属制成，例如金和银。如今一些针疗医师仍在使用金针或银针，但多数医师已经改用不锈钢针了。 para. 2 In addition to the changes in material, the shapes of the needles have also changed over time. Originally, there were nine different kinds of needles, with variations in shape. Nowadays, the fine sharp needles that measure usually between 15 and 75 millimetres in length are still used, while most of the others have been replaced by more complex medical instruments. 除了材质变化，针的形状也在逐渐改变。起初有九种不同类型的针，形状各不相同。现在针刺疗法中仍在使用的是又尖又细、长度一般在 15 至 75 毫米之间的针，而大部分其他类型的针都被更复杂的医疗器械取代了。 para. 2 Look Listen Smell Ask Skin Tongue Sound of Voice and Breath Breath Questions about conditions Feel / Check Pulse Push Needles into points How does the acupuncturist examine the patient? The process of diagnosis (诊断) Para 3 Careful reading So what happens during a visit to the acupuncture clinic? First, the acupuncturist examines the patient, looking at the patient's skin and tongue, listening to the sound of his or her voice and breathing, and smelling his or her breath. Then the acupuncturist asks some questions about the patient's condition and feels his or her pulse. 那么，去针疗诊所诊疗时会发生什么呢？首先，针疗医师会对患者作一番检查，看一下患者的皮肤和舌头，听听讲话和呼吸的声音，再闻一下患者呼出的气息。接着，针疗医师会就患者的身体状况问一些问题，然后搭脉。 para. 3 This is a particularly important step according to the energy theory behind acupuncture. The acupuncturist can check the pulse in three positions on each wrist, and every one of them is connected with a major body organ. By checking all the positions, the acupuncturist can find out which energy channel does not have enough energy. 根据针刺疗法背后的能量理论，搭脉这项步骤是尤为重要的。针疗医师能够在每只手腕的三个部位检查脉象，每一处都对应身体的一个主要器官。检查过所有的部位后，针疗医师便能知道哪条经络的能量比较弱。 para. 3 Careful reading Para 4 The process of treatment. 目前为止已有 360 多个穴位被确认，每个穴位对应着身体的不同部位。下针的穴位有时在感染疾病的部位附近，有时又并不靠近。 针灸理疗取穴原则： 1.就近取穴 2.循经取穴 1. Why should the acupuncturist check the pulse on each wrist? A. To find out which pulse is stronger. B. To find out which pulse is connected with a major body organ. C.

Up to now, more than _________ acupuncture points have been identified, each linked to a different part of the body. 3. How do the acupuncture needles work? 360 By pushing the needles into points near the body part affected by a disease, and sometimes into points that are not so close to it. √ According to the results of the check-up, the acupuncturist then selects certain points on the body called acupuncture points. Needles are pushed into the skin at these points so that a health problem can be treated. Up to now, more than 360 acupuncture points have been identified, each linked to a different part of the body. Sometimes the needles are pushed into points near the body part affected by a disease, and sometimes into points that are not so close to it. 根据诊断结果，针疗医师随后会在患者身上选定一些针刺疗法的点，这些点称作穴位。针从穴位推入皮肤，从而治疗一项疾病。目前为止已有 360 多个穴位被确认，每个穴位对应着身体的不同部位。下针的穴位有时在患病部位附近，有时又并不靠近。 para. 4 Problems treated Examples Physical problems What health problems can Acupuncture treat?

For example, there are different theories trying to explain how it eases pain, but no agreement has been reached. One theory explaining this phenomenon suggests that acupuncture blocks pain signals from reaching the brain. Another theory relates acupuncture to the production of a substance in the body which can reduce pain. 针刺疗法究竟是怎样产生疗效的，这个问题尚不清楚。例如，有几种不同的理论试图解释针刺疗法如何缓解疼痛，但至今仍然莫衷一是。一种理论认为这种现象源于针刺疗法阻断了痛感信号向大脑的传导。另一种理论认为针刺疗法促使身体产生了某种有镇痛作用的物质。 para. 6 Time Event In the 6th century (1) (2) Acupuncture was introduced to the West.
