【正文】 rylike marks left on Michael Phelps39。 back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know thatwhile 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture，not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs, are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs uscd1 their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical position and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity, While Western medicinemaking panies e up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu You your39。s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(瘧疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China39。s TCM industry.

But it39。s been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing (沖洗)off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are mon in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria. The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn39。t caught on because it goes against the mon belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important. But food preparation is a plicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it39。s not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging. The USDAfunded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli (大腸桿菌)and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking. To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren39。t out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.（1）People don39。t accept USDA39。s advice because____. advice is relatively new seems more trustworthy clean the turkey before cooking it can kill most germs and no one eats raw food（2）What can be concluded from Paragraph 4? packages carry germs. and surfaces are easy to get E. coli. from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not. methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.（3）Which way may help to cook a turkey safely? off the turkey before it is heated. the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator. hands and packages before taking out the turkey. a thermometer to check the temperature
