五、阅读表达(2025·兰州改编)
阅读下面的短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在横线上。
From Tradition to the Modern
Customs and Tradition
During the Dragon Boat Festival，Chinese always put mugwort(艾草) leaves on doors or windows to make the air fresh and keep flies and other insects away. Mugwort，a kind of plant，is highly valued for its medical use in TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine). Chinese have been making use of herbs(草药) like mugwort to help people improve health or treat illness for thousands of years.
Practice and Spread
Nowadays，we are seeing more interest in TCM especially among the young. Influenced by TCM ideas，some young people stop having icy drinks. They accept hot Chinese herbal tea，instead. When people feel ill，some choose to go to TCM hospitals and clinics for treatment. With the spread of TCM，some schools start courses about it. For example，students learn to make joss sticks(线香) with herbs in class. More TCM programmes appear on TV and the internet，which helps people form better living habits.
Ideas and Spirit
In fact，the ideas of Traditional Chinese Medicine are everywhere around us. Following the natural rules can make us healthier. As an old saying goes，“Early to bed，early to rise.” TCM also pays more attention to the balance of diet. Different coloured foods are friendly to different parts of the body. White food is good for lungs，red for heart... If a body is like a tree，TCM focuses on its root(根). It aims at keeping the body and mind in harmony(和谐).
Chinese traditions are making a difference to our modern life.
1. Where do Chinese put mugwort leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival?
2. What idea does the old saying “Early to bed，early to rise.” tell us?
3. Share one of your healthy living habits based on TCM，and give the reason.
