3、an arrow, used for making shallow holes in the surface of the skin; a needle with a round tip, used for pressing the tissue under the skin; a dull needle, used for tapping against pressurepoints ； and a needle like a small sword ， used for letting liquid out of body parts which had swollen up.These

21、现在都认同这些理论。针刺疗法作为传统中医的一项独特贡献，传播到了亚洲许多其他国家，如早在公元 6世纪就传入了日本。它在 17世纪传到了西方。如今针刺疗法在全世界已非常流行，其他传统中医疗法也是如此。世界卫生组织推荐针刺疗法作为处理四十余种医疗难题的好方法。对它的安全性的疑虑逐渐消除，而人们对它的兴趣继续增加。Step 1 Choose the best answers according to the text.1.Which statement is WRONG about Chinese acupuncture?AChinese acupuncture was perhaps develo
