10、a suburb of the Ghanaian capital, for treatment.“I was squeezing lemons, and when I finished, I could not get up or even move my legs, so I went to the hospital and did an X-ray examination, but they saw nothing. Meanwhile, I could not walk and was in a wheelchair,” the retired worker said. Hence Mi

11、randa decided to visit the herbal facility. “On two occasions, I had to do acupuncture (针灸), and I have found great relief. Now I walk unaided, so I keep coming for treatment,” she said.As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining popularity in Ghana, many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doct

12、ors pop up in the country. However, the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business owner Bediako, after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012. With the help of a Chinese lady, Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM. Years on, the fa

13、cility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital. The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal formulas. It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.Strokes (中风) account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana, an

14、d 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths. But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing, the pain and death rates would subside. “A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago, who could not sit, stand, or walk. He was first taken through acupun

15、cture. I observed him on camera 30 minutes later, squatting (蹲), standing, and walking. You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile. That is our feature,” he said.The hospital has started a second facility in Ashaiman near the capital, with plans to open other branches across the countr

18、gative. B. Uncertain. C. Concerned.D. Optimistic.CIn a coffee shop, we usually hear someone saying, “Dont worry; the cup is made of bioplastics (生物塑料)!” These items are appearing everywhere, ensuring business owners and consumers feel good about the single-use items they are carrying around. The pro

19、blem is that theres a lot of misinformation about bioplastics and unfortunately, bioplastics arent the perfect solution to the problem of plastic people think they are. “Anytime you add the term bio or plant-based to a product name or description, people automatically think that makes them good for

20、the planet,” environment expert and consultant Shannon Kenny said. “But unless you have proper equipment to process and recycle these bioplastics, they can be just as harmful to the planet as traditional plastics.” In order for bioplastic items to break down, they need the perfect storm of gases, he

21、at and airflow that is only provided by specific equipment. And since most of us probably dont have the commercial equipment, we may not know what to do with the products. Since they look like plastic, people often think they can be recycled, which isnt true. According to Kenny, “Consumers often dis

22、pose of (丢弃) bioplastics in recycling bins, but it messes the whole process up. When bioplastics enter the plastic recycling stream, theyre difficult to identify and separate from the other plastics, which damages the entire recycling process and creates a low-grade recycled plastic.” So if plastic

23、isnt great, but bioplastics arent either, what should we use? The most sustainable solution in both the short term and the long run, though, is to avoid single-use items. The best choice is to bring your own cup to the coffee shop and your own cutlery (餐具) to the office to eat your salad or out to d

24、inner at your favorite fast-casual restaurant. And educate others friends, family, and even your local coffee shop or restaurant owners that these bioplastics arent as “green” as they may appear. 8. What does Shannon Kenny think of bioplastics? A. They are environment-friendly. B. They cost customer

25、s less to use. C. They increase the cost of production. D. They are no better than common plastics. 9. What is the challenge about bioplastics? A. They cant be broken down completely. B. Consumers prefer to use traditional plastics. C. They cant be processed or recycled properly. D. Consumers cant t

How are bioplastics made pollution-free?DA research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing.

28、 The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is created by Alphabet the same company that owns Google. X often focuses on projects with big goals that seem almost impossible at first. With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more and more food needs to be grown in ord

Some experts say that more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. Above all, Xs employees give special attention to the man-

30、made problems and try to persuade farmers to support their greener plans. When farmers have tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, theyve used methods that arent always good for the nature more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides. Minerals team spent several years talking to farmers to s

31、ee what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”, which collect detailed information about crops. At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over ti

32、me, theyve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields and uneven roads easily. They can even do things humans cant, like counting all o

33、f the small buds on a plant. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldnt track every plant. Now, with Minerals robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will

34、grow. For example, if robots can detect which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop. 12. Which word can best describe the company X? A.
