二、阅读理解
[传统文化]For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has helped Chinese people stay healthy by keeping a natural balance in the body. Based on ideas like yin-yang and the Five Elements(metal, wood, water, fire, earth), TCM believes health comes from harmony(和谐) between people and nature. Three key ideas in TCM are qi, yin-yang balance, and treating the whole person.

Qi is the energy that flows through the body. When qi is blocked or weak, people may get sick. Acupuncture(针灸) is a common TCM method to help qi flow smoothly. An old TCM book says, “If qi moves freely, the body is healthy; if qi stops, sickness comes.” This idea is similar to the Western saying, “Stopping illness early is better than curing(治愈) it later.”
Yin-yang balance means keeping opposite forces in harmony. For example, if someone has a fever(too much “yang”), TCM doctors might use cooling herbs(药草)(adding “yin”). If someone feels cold(too much “yin”), warming foods or activities are suggested. A famous TCM rule is, “Fix the root of the problem, not just the symptoms(症状).”

Treating the whole person means caring for the body, mind, and lifestyle together. A TCM doctor might give herbal medicine, advise eating certain foods and taking gentle(温和的) exercises like Tai Chi. Long ago, a famous TCM doctor, Li Shizhen, wrote about how herbs, food, and daily habits work together to heal people.
