Alternative Therapy
As health care costs continually rise in most developed countries, many people are looking to
alternative forms of health therapy both to prevent and cure them from various illnesses and problems.
Two of the most popular forms of alternative therapies in the West today are acupuncture and herbal
medicine, both of which have been used for centuries in Asia and are rooted in ancient Chinese
medicine. In essence, they attempt to treat the source of the health problem rather than simply get rid
of the symptoms, which is something that many argue is the flawed crux of western medicinal
techniques. For this reason, many individuals are taking a more holistic approach to their bodies and
health rather than simply looking for a quick cure. For example, instead of taking aspirin whenever
they get headaches, some people will go to an acupuncturist to find out what causes the problem and
begin treatments for that specific cause, which will prevent the headaches from returning in the future.
In this way, alternative medicines such as acupuncture and herbal therapy have wonderful preventative
potential many modern medicines do not.
Acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese medicine and the importance of ki, a kind of life force
that pulsates through every humans body. Ki runs through various pathways in the body and is
fundamental in giving humans strength and energy as well as bolstering the immune system. But, at
times, these pathways might suffer blockage or be disrupted for various reasons, so ki is unable to flow
smoothly through the body. When this occurs, the body becomes vulnerable to illness and pain. This is
where acupuncture comes in. Acupuncturists are well versed in the mapping of the ki pathways
throughout the body and are able to locate and stimulate certain areas on the surface of the body in
order to relieve the pressure and allow ki once more to flow freely, eliminating pains and illnesses in
the process.
A second form of alternative therapy based on Chinese traditional medicine is herbal therapy, in
which special herbs are prescribed by the doctor to be taken in a hot liquid form, usually tea.
Traditionally, herbal teas are imbibed to boost the immune system and prevent illnesses from being
able to enter the body. Herbs also have a more direct influence than acupuncture on the bodys physical
systems, such as the circulatory system, as they can aid in normalizing blood pressure. One excellent
example of an herbal remedy is mushroom tea, which is an excellent antioxidant. Other benefits
attributed to the use of traditional Chinese herbs are that they build stamina and are good for digestive
purposes. Sometimes, herbal medicines are used in conjunction with acupuncture to magnify its
effects.
When it comes to diseases and preventative measures, people should realize that there are many
proven alternatives simply to visiting a local western doctor or hospital to be evaluated and sent home
with some prescriptions. [1] In many cases, this type of medicine will only mask the essence of the
problem while traditional Chinese therapy such as acupuncture and herbal medicine addresses it from
the onset. [2] As the popularity of alternative therapies such as these grows, hopefully more and more
individuals will seek them out and benefit from their holistic approaches. [3] Ultimately, alternative
therapies such as herbs or acupuncture can work wonders as preventative methods for physiological as

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
answer to each of the questions from 58 to 64.
For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the surface of
the Moon. Modern astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has been able to
Trng PTTH Lng Th Vinh

Trang 5/6 - M thi 109

satisfactorily explain how or why the Moon sporadically sparks. However, researchers now believe
they have found the cause.
Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during
the Apollo missions and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen and
argon. The researchers suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rocks cracks, may ignite these
gases. Indeed, lunar rock samples, when fractured in the lab, throw off sparks.
What causes these rocks to crack on the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at the
borders between sunlight and shade on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensely heated or
cooled. A sudden change in temperatures may cause thermal cracking. Another possibility is that
meteors may strike the rocks and cause them to crack. Finally, lunar rocks may be fractured by seismic
events-in other words, by tiny moonquakes.
Question 58: According to the passage, how long have people been aware of the mysterious lights on
the Moon?
A. For thousands of years.
B. For hundreds of years.
C. For the last ten years.
D. Since the Apollo Moon missions.
Question 59: The word sporadically in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. constantly
B. reputedly
C. mysteriously
D. occasionally
Question 60: The word they in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. helium, hydrogen and argon
B. Apollo spacecrafts
C. lunar rocks
D. researchers
Question 61: According to the passage, the theory that Moon rocks give off sparks when they cracked
is supposed by __________.
A. an analysis of rocks from the Moon
B. observations made centuries ago
C. experiments conducted by astronauts
D. a telescopic study of the Moon
Question 62: Which of the following situation is an example of thermal cracking as described in
the passage?
A. A dam breaks when water rises behind it.
B. An ice cube melts in the heat of the sun.
C. A cool glass breaks when it is filled with boiling water.
D. A stone cracks open because of the pressure of tree roots.
Question 63: All of the following are given as reasons for Moon rocks cracking EXCEPT _______.
A. the pressure of gases
B. sudden temperature changes
C. the action of meteors
D. seismic actions
Question 64: Which of the following statements describes the organization of the passage?
A. The significance of an experiment is explained.
B. A generalization is made, and examples are given.
C. A phenomenon is described, and a possible explanation is proposed.
D. A popular notion is repeated.
