Not long ago, many doctors in the West laughed at the suggestion that they might learn something from traditional Asian systems of healing. Most of them thought that Asian herbal (药草的) medicine and acupuncture(针灸) were believed in only by simple people who knew no better. Western doctorsrelied mainly on chemical cures as the safest and surest way to treat illness. The scientific age of antibiotics(抗生素), "miracle drugs" and heart transplants encouraged the public to that there must be a pill for every illness. It was true that often the drug companies provided what the public wanted: a speedy temporary cure and didnot remove the real cau of the illness. Moreover, some people actuallybecame ill through taking too much medicine. Many people in the West are now beginning to look for more natural cures for their illness and often they turn to the ancient wisdom of the East. There are some doctors in Britain now who offer theirpatients acupuncture treatment. Recently an Indian company which produces a natural medicine bad on the biba root has sold some to Germany. The World Health Organization(WHO) encourages doctors not to rely too greatly on expensive Western medicines but to choo them carefully and u also their traditional herbal cures. The mixture of Eastern and Western medicine has been practiced very successfully in China. China isstill the only country in the world where the traditional doctor using herbal medicine and acupuncture is as respected as the Western-trained doctor. Through China all types of doctors are expected to work together. Western-style doctors are required to take at least a one-year cour in traditional medicine, and the acupunctures must also study the basics of  western medicine. China's way of "having the best of both worlds" has greatly impresd many visiting doctors from the West. Experts from the WHO have decided that the time has come to study herbal medicine very carefully and to decide, by carefully controlled scientific experiments, what good the medicine might do. They are especially interested in finding cures for illness which Western medicine has found "incurable". Six WHO units have been t up in Hong Kong, Seoul, Sri Lanka, London and Chicago, and so far theresults have been encouraging.1. What conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?A.
