Excerpt from Acupuncture: Help or Hype?
Tracy Wilson
1 Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than
2,000 years ago, acupuncture began to become better known in the United States in 1971, when New York Times reporter
James Reston wrote about how doctors in China used needles to ease his pain after surgery.
2 The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a variety
of techniques. American practices of acupuncture incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other Eastem
countries. The acupuncture technique that has been most studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid,
metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation
3 Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or
minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. Improper
needle placement, movement of the patient, or a defect in the needle can cause soreness and pain during treatment. This is
why it is important to seek treatment from a qualified acupuncture practitioner
4 The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners in 1996. The
FDA requires that sterile, nontoxic needles be used and that they be labeled for use by qualified practitioners only.

Read this sentence from the interview. when i say that an actor is natural, i mean that he appears to act in accordance with his ideal, in accordance with his nature, and that he is not an imitator or a copyist—that he is not made up of shreds and patches taken from others, but that all he does flows from interior fountains and is consistent with his own nature, all having in a marked degree the highest characteristics of the man. how does the phrase "flows from interior fountains" affect the interview? a-it suggests that actors have more to give of themselves than other people do. b- it suggests that actors try their hardest to create believable characters. c- it suggests that actors include a part of their own essence in the roles they play. d- it suggests that actors have an abundance of emotions that they must release.
