听力原文：W: I haven't seen you down at the tennis court in weeks. Have you been on vacation？
M: No, I have been around. It's just that I've got this pain in my elbow that's keeping me from playing tennis. And you know how much I love tennis!
W: I know. I used to see you practice every night. So what have you been doing to treat your elbow？
M: You name it pain-killers, heating pads, ice. But nothing seems to work.
W: Have you tried acupuncture？
M: Well, I've heard about it--they stick needles in all parts of your body, but I'm not too sure.
W: I don't blame you for being hesitant. I had a similar problem with my shoulder a while back. But I read an article about acupuncture for relieving pain, so I figured, why not？ I'll try it.
M: And it worked？
W: It worked for me. The article was about an acupuncturist in California who's been successful in helping 90 percent of the people he's treated for the pain they get in their hands when they type too much.
M: That sounds promising. Now, isn't acupuncture a Chinese tradition？
W: That's right. The Chinese have been using acupuncture to treat pain for thousands of years. But it's really starting to catch on over here now. There are more than 9,000 licensed acupuncturists in the United States.
M: Wow! Is there an acupuncturist near campus？
W: There sure is. Are you busy now？ I could walk you over there and you could make an appointment.
M: That'd be great. I want to get this problem taken care of as soon as possible so I can start playing tennis again.
