阅读理解B篇
原文“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job.”
24. What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him?
A. He's odd. B. He's strict. C. He's brave. D. He's rude.
25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians' work.
C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A. To prove Farber's point. B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection.
译文威廉·法伯博士在给一只兔子做针灸后不久说：“我没有疯。我走在了时代的前面。”如果他看起来有点防御性，那可能是因为即使是他的一些同事偶尔也会嘲笑他不同寻常的方法。但法伯确信他会笑到最后。他是少数但越来越多的美国兽医之一，现在从事“整体”医学，将传统的西方治疗与针灸、脊椎指压疗法和草药相结合。
Farber毕业于科罗拉多州立大学，最初是一名更传统的兽医。20年前，当他遭受严重的背痛时，他对替代疗法产生了兴趣。他尝试了肌肉放松药物，但收效甚微。然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种中国古代的做法，他惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗后，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始将它们提供给宠物。
Leigh Tindale的狗Charlie患有严重的心脏病。Tindale说，在查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他入睡，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，使它能够再活五个月。Priscilla Dewing报告说，经过脊椎按摩调整后，她的马Nappy“移动更容易，骑行更舒适”。
法伯确信，随着时间的推移，整体方法将越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的：自1982年以来，美国整体兽医协会的会员人数已从30人增加到700多人。他说：“有时，它如此有效，让我感到惊讶。”。“我会尽一切努力帮助动物。这是我的工作。”
24.法伯的一些同事怎么看他？
A.他很奇怪。B.他很严格。C.他很勇敢。D.他很粗鲁。
