25、n Space 20 The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸 )to perform, operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.

26、 To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time.

27、ain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body.

34、n closest to the antenna(天线 ). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖 )metaboli

35、sm(代谢 )(a sign of brain activity)increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,“ said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts t

36、o electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals. Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射 )from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way in

37、dicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures. “ Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955 s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide. Some studies have li

38、nked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned

39、 off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on. Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “ Although the biolog

40、ical significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,“ Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U. S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has
