问题 There are three branches of medicine, One is called "doctor medicine" or "scientific medicine". Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.
   The second kind of medicine is called "natural cures" or "folk medicine", in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(草). These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.
   The third kind is called "health spas" or "faith healing". Sometimes this is as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines (神坛) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项 A、Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis.
B、People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs.
C、The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine.
D、Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times.
答案D
解析 判断推理题。从第二段关于民间药物的叙述可知，这些药的选用也是观察和逻辑的产物，是人们实际用药探索的结果，在古代很有效，在科学药物之前有了民间药物，但是没有提到二者的关系，所以本题选D。
