【正确答案】[范文] The Status of Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine comes into being with the formation and development of Chinese traditional culture and it has a history of more than 5,000 years. Over the years, it has played a significant role in treating diseases and helping Chinese people stay healthy. Nevertheless, as time goes by, western culture began to spread into China and more and more western medicine flooded into the country. The traditional Chinese medicine gradually lost its original status in disease treatment and less importance is attached to it. However, in my opinion, we should never give up traditional Chinese medicine. On the contrary, we should pay more attention to it and try to protect it. Though western medicine is more scientific compared to traditional Chinese Medicine and is considered more efficient and effective in terms of disease treatment, Chinese medicine still plays a very important role in helping us keep fit. Recent years have witnessed the revival of traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine clinics and colleges are springing up everywhere, and it has even been integrated with advanced science and technology. All in all, it is undeniable that traditional Chinese medicine, as a part of Chinese culture, will be passed down from one generation to another, winning the hearts of its patients.

【答案解析】中医是中国传统医学，它承载着中国古代人民同疾病作斗争的经验和理论知识，是在古代朴素唯物论和自发的辨证法思想指导下，通过长期医疗实践逐步形成并发展成的医学理论体系。在当今西医占主要地位的社会，中医似乎不太重要了。然而事实并非如此。中医虽然在治病上似乎没有西医有效，但是中医在老百姓平时的生活中发挥着重要作用，例如平时提倡的膳食平衡等都属于中医范畴，同时，中医作为中国传统文化之一，更应该受到保护。
