Dr. K was one of my favorite professors in college. He was unique because he admitted telling lies in his 51 . I remembered the 52 to his teaching at the beginning of his first class: ―Now let me explain how I teach. Between today until the class right before finals, I‘ll put a 53 into each of my lectures. Your job is to try and 54 me in the Lie of the Day.‖ And thus began our ten-week course. Early in the course, the Lie of the Day was usually obvious — 55 causing a forest of raised 56 to challenge the lie. Dr. K would smile, saying, ―Very good! In fact, the opposite is true.‖ As the course progressed, however, the Lie of the Day became less 57 . Every once in a while, a lecture would 58 with nobody catching the lie. On such days, we would all sit in 59 , while Dr. K, looked quite 60 with himself and announced:― Ah ha! Each of you has one lie in your 61 . Discuss what it might be, and I will tell you next Monday.‖ Those lectures forced us to 62 what we had set down in our notebooks the following week. It‘s years since I graduated. While my knowledge taught by Dr. K has faded over time, the lessons will always stay 63 with me. ―Experts‖ can be 64 and say things that sound right. So build a habit of 65 new information and check it against things you already accept as a fact.

If you followed the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, you may have noticed that several athletes, including US swimmer Michael Phelps, had circular bruises on their bodies. These bruises were the results of ―cupping therapy‖, a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.
Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction(吸力). The suction is created either by Heating the cup inside or by using a handing pump. This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup. Something it can Leave dark red bruises, other times there is no mark at all.
Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy. Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since, reported ABC New. Another US swimmer, Dana Vollmer, also believes that ―it really helps with blood flow, and helps pull swelling out of different areas.‖
However, some have said that the supposed health effects result from people feeling that the treatment works, Rather than any physical effect of the treatment.
To figure out whether cupping therapy has any physical effects, last year researchers from Germany carried out a Test in which a sham(假装的) treatment was provided
In the study, the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment. But in the sham treatment, the cups had a hole at the top so that they couldn‘t create the proper suction.
The tested patients, who suffered from a disorder(疾病)that causes a lot of pain, were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping or ―soft cupping‖. But they were not informed that the so-called ―soft cupping‖ was a sham treatment.
It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received. In both groups, patients Also experienced about the same reductions in pain. The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come From factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself, the researchers told the LiveScience website

The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. But because the treatment is relatively safe it could be helping for some people, ―the therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises, nutritional choices and lifestyle interventions(干预)‖, Dr Brent Bauer, director of the US‘ Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program, told LiveScience. 68. The purpose of the test was to______. A. prove the health effects of cupping therapy B. see whether cupping therapy has a physical effect
C. compare cupping therapy‘s effects on different groups of people 69. What can be concluded about the test?
A. Different types of cups were used for different cupping therapies.
B. Patients knew which kind of cupping they would receive before the treatment C. The real treatment and the sham treatment were almost equally effective for patients
D. The results show that the effects of cupping therapy result from people‘s belief in the treatment. 70. According to the last paragraph,_____.
A. cupping therapy can be used with other treatments B. cupping therapy is recommended for most people C. cupping therapy must be used under a doctor‘s guidance
D. cupping therapy is only effective when combined with lifestyle interventions

I tried not to be biased(有偏见的), but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His social worker assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee. He was short, a little fat with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down‘s Syndrome(唐氏综合症). I thought most of my customers would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks.
I shouldn‘t have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his fat little finger, and within a month my regular truck customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot(吉祥物). After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.
