Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (刮痧), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US whos accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure
16、 his grandsons disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spre
17、ad to 183 countries and regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreement
18、s with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became eve
19、n more famous internationally.However, all these achievements in TCM dont mean that its problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing

24、 .and its all because of technology.“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” said Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is jus
25、t seconds. There are other digital distractions（分心）too: email, instant messaging and quick movies on websites.Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” said Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time
26、 and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students concentration. Anne Savan, from
27、Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist
28、says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isnt worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”1
