Basu in the eastern city of Kolkata, capital of West Bengal state, according to Mrigendranath Gantait, pre

19、sident of the Acupuncture Association of India. Over the past six decades, it has spread to rural, semi-urban and urban areas in India, particularly in the states of West Bengal, Maharashtra and Punjab.Acupuncture therapy in India is related to the story of the Indian medical mission that was sent t

20、o China to provide medical assistance during the Chinese peoples War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-1945).

21、ed for 43 years in India until his death in 1986. From 1958 to 1959, Basu stayed in China to learn acupuncture before introducing the needle techniques in India. In 1973, Basu was invited to China to learn newly developed acupuncture anesthesia (麻醉).From the very beginning Basu tried to spread acupu

22、ncture to doctors by free teaching to broad masses of people.

29、y reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researc

31、ry new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts ins

32、ist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability? Any bag you already own.It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more

33、 contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesnt seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-bei

37、ppiness GuaranteeD. What Are Green Products?DDeep below the ground, radioactive elements break up water molecules（分子）, producing ingredients that can fuel subsurface life. This process, known as radio-lysis（辐射分解）, has sustained bacteria in isolated, water-filled cracks on Earth for millions to billi

38、ons of years. Now a study published in Astro-biology shows that radiolysis may have supported life in the Martian subsurface.Dust storms, rays in the universe and solar winds ruin the Red Planets surface. But below-ground, some life might find refuge. The environment with the best chance of habitabi

39、lity on Mars is the subsurface, says Jesse Tarnas, a planetary scientist at NASA. Examining the Martin underground could help scientists learn whether life could have survived there. And the best subsurface samples available today are Martin meteorites（陨石）that have crash-landed on Earth.Tarnas and h

40、is colleague evaluated the mineral makeup and radio-active element abundance in the Martin surface using satellite and rover data. They input these data into a computer model that simulated（模拟）radiolysis to see how efficiently the process would have generated hydrogen gas and other chemical ingredie

41、nts that can sustain the underground bacteria. The researchers report that if water was present, radiolysis in the Martin subsurface could have sustained life for billions of years and perhaps still could today.Scientists previously studied Mars radiolysis, but this marks the first estimate using Ma

42、rtin rocks to quantify the planets subsurface habitability. Tarnas and his colleagues also evaluated the potential richness of life in the Martin underground and found that as many as a million bacteria could exist in a kilogram of rock.The most habitable meteorite samples analysed appeared to be ma

43、de of a rock type called regolith breccia. These are thought to come from the southern highlands of Mars, which is the most ancient area on Mars, Tarnas says.Underground life, as described by this research, would require water and it remains unknown if groundwater exists on the planet, says Lujendra

44、 Ojha, a planetary scientist at Rutgers University. Determining whether the Martin subsurface contains water will be an important next step, but this investigation helps to motivate that search. Ojha says, Where there is groundwater, there could be life.12. Scientists believe the Martian subsurface

45、might be habitable probably because _.A. the Martin surface absorbs rays in the universeB. radio-lysis may exist in the Martian undergroundC. radiation combines ingredients for subsurface life to surviveD. cracks in Martian meteorites overflow with bacteria13. Whats the purpose of using Martian mete

46、orites?A. To measure the Martian habitability below-groundB. To simulate the process of producing hydrogen.C. To help life find shelter from solar windsD. To explore the source of hydrogen gas.14. What can be inferred from the last 3 paragraphs?A. Tarnas was the first to study Mars radiolysis.B. The

47、 Martian underground proved to be rich in bacteria.C. The southern highlands of Mars are the most habitable.D. The existence of groundwater is key to the investigation findings.15. The passage is mainly concerned with _.A. the reason for no life on the Martian surfaceB. the source of data for the st
