Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, chances and challenges come together.
Let's start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis and instructions without leaving home.
In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.
A whole new age of medical care seems likely to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist, who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It's unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry .
So how does medicine adapt to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to-and care about — their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.

【推荐1】Autism (自闭症) could be caused by a lack of protein (蛋白质) in the brain, new research suggests.
A third of cases are believed to be down to a lack of nSR100, which is important for normal brain development. Experts say this can cause mistakes in the wiring (布线) of the brain and possibly lead to autism.
Researchers from the University of Toronto lowered levels of the protein, which controls the building of cells (细胞), in mice. They found that a reduction in nSR100 by just half was enough to trigger typical autistic (自闭症的) behaviors. These include avoiding social activities and increased fear to noise.
This is the second study of the protein by the Canadian researchers. The first showed that nSR100 is reduced in the brains of autistic people.
Lead researcher of the study, Dr Sabine Cordes, said: “We previously reported a connection between nSR100 protein levels and autism. But this time we show that reduced levels of this protein could really be the reason — that’s a big deal. Just by reducing the nSR100 levels by 50 per cent, we observe clear signs of autistic behavior.”
Autism — which is known best for changing social behavior — is a mental disorder affecting more than one per cent of the population. While its origins are genetic (基因的), the real causes are known in only a very small number of cases.

【推荐2】Every day on the respiratory ward(呼吸道病房)at one of Kyrgyzstan’s biggest hospitals, Temiraly kyzy, a 24-year-old nurse, puts on the music and leads her patients to dance.
This involves a range of body movements and leaves everyone smiling — but Temiraly kyzy is not doing it for fun. The dance is part of a treatment programme offered to people with COPD — a common, preventable and treatable lung condition.
COPD develops from midlife onwards;symptoms(症状)include breathlessness, cough and tiredness. It is one of the top three causes of death worldwide. Globally, there are 3 million deaths a year from COPD but this number is expected to rise to 5. 4 million by 2060.
Treatment for COPD in many countries involves inhalers and antibiotics(抗生 素). In Kyrgyzstan, these medicine can cost more than a monthly salary. In 2016, Sooronbaev, director of the National Centre and his team started experimenting with pulmonary rehabilitation(肺疾病康复), a physical exercise programme designed for people with lung conditions.
Over the years, the programme has expanded and now it is already in use in three hospitals. Apart from lectures and patient support groups, there is a system of physical exercise, including volleyball, walking, cycling on exercise bikes and dance.
The transformative effect has been obvious.“I remember one woman who was 63, ”a doctor says.“She cried because she had severe shortness of breath, coughed all the time. She was really depressed. ”She was invited to take part in the programme and the results surprised him.
“Afterwards, she was like a flower-she smiled and her body language was more active. That sticks in my mind.”
Sooronbaev wants pulmonary rehabilitation to be available throughout the country from this year. Patients who have experienced the programme are being trained to teach others, and Sooronbaev and colleagues are going to speak at medical conferences to inform other healthcare professionals about their progress with the programme.

【推荐3】Programs using animals to calm patients and reduce tension are called animal therapy(治疗). In the United States, these treatments are popular, although there is a lack of evidence to show that they work.
There are, however, many stories about animal therapy helping people. For example, some children have a fear of injections (注射). That may make getting the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗) a difficult experience. So, some hospitals use therapy animals, like Ollie, a six-year-old therapy dog, to help children at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego.
One of those children is nine-year-old Avery Smith. At the children’s hospital, she cried over her fear of the vaccine. Then Ollie came in and sat at her feet. “It helped me because I never had a COVID vaccine before,” said Avery. She added, “I didn't know what it felt like. But when I saw the dog, I stopped crying.”
Kristin Gist is a 75-year-old dog therapy volunteer and a former hospital programs direct tor. She is also Ollie’s owner. She said even before the vaccine, therapy dogs were already being used at the children’s hospital. Some children at the hospital are fighting cancer or other serious diseases. Gist said kids or their parents will sometimes hold the dogs and seem to feel better.
However, some experts say there is a lack of scientific evidence proving that animal their apy improves a patient’s medical condition. One such expert is Hal Herzog. He is a professor at Western Carolina University. Herzog told VOA that an animal can simply distract (分散注意力) a patient. “Some studies have shown that for short-term preventing pain, staying with a dog can put your mind on something else. And in that case, I see no harm in doing it. However, this won't do much for treatment.”

【推荐1】There are various infectious diseases in the world, which human beings have to fight with. In 2018 , measles (麻疹) infected almost 10 million people throughout the world, killing 142,000. Countries that achieved high vaccination (疫苗接种) rates or had formerly eradicated the disease also failed to have a narrow escape.
Fortunately, apart from troublesome measles, many inspirational global health stories happened in the last decade. New viruses, vaccines and treatments were discovered, once again showing the significance of science.
Huge progress was made in virus research. For instance, a kind of virus named Medusavirus, which can turn an amoeba, a kind of single-celled living creature, into a “stone”, was identified by Japanese scientists. The virus has one of the largest and most complicated viral genomes (基因组) that have ever been found. Besides, a new virus, Alongshan virus, was discovered in a group of patients in Inner Moggolia. Researchers also found for the first time that an insect RNA virus, the Providence virus, was able to infect plants and mammalian cells, which indicated that plants could serve as hosts of human viruses.
We also saw improvements in treatments and vaccines. Ebola virus is a good case in point. According to the Royal Free Hospital in Britain, the drug MIL 77, which had been developed by Academy of Millitary Medical Sciences, an institution in China, jointly with some other companies, was adopted to treat a Briton infected with the disease and helped her recover from the deadly virus. This has indicated China's capability of offering and economical and practical drug fighting Ebolavirus worldwide. Furthermore, the Chinese and British medical research teams have worked on genome sequencing of the virus, making it possible to develop drugs and vaccines that are more effective. Therefore, Ebola is no longer a death sentence.
Thanks to the investment in global supervision(监督), transnational partnership, and scientific research, many new viruses, vaccines and treatments were successfully discovered in the last decade. But the journey will continue and much more needs to be done. For example, we need to have a deeper understanding of how climate change influences the spread of infectious diseases.

【推荐2】Soon, students will be receiving their latest report cards, even though many already know their grades. Thousands of schools nationwide have adopted what’s called “open grade books’’, online portals that allow both parents and kids to get up-to-the-minute progress reports.
Recently, I’ve noticed this whole system stresses out my 11-year-old daughter, Audrey. “It seems that if my grades do decrease, I’m worried on what my parents are going to say,’’ Audrey said. Hearing her say this breaks my heart. I wonder: Do other parents and kids feel this way? I put a call out to my network and found Carrie Du Bois.
“I thought it was a mistake,’’ says Du Bois.
About three years ago, Du Bois called the leader of the Sequoia Union High School District in San Mateo County to find out why she was receiving a daily email of her son’s grades. The leader told her the portal was working as it should.
Du Bois called every mental health professional she knew and they all told her the same thing: The supply of constant data on academic progress can overemphasize the importance of grades. Her district has since changed systems and no longer sends out daily grade updates. However, hundreds of other schools in the Bay Area still do.
A spokeswoman for the Santa Clara Unified School District said the feedback they’ve received from parents is overwhelmingly positive. Other parents have also told me the portals give them insights into their kids’ lives and open up conversations beyond “how was your day.”
Most of the portals offer parents the option of turning off daily notifications. Mental health care professionals advise that a healthier and more accurate measure of progress is checking grades once a week or even once a month. It’s what I have decided to do.

【推荐3】Imagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals ( 踏 板 ). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it?” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.
How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.
A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually- or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.
But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.
New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.

【推荐1】In recent years, scientists have discovered that mushrooms are much more than just a tasty addition to your favorite dish. In fact, they are the “Internet of trees” — a vast network of underground mycorrhizal (菌根的) fungi (真菌) that connects trees and other plants in a similar way to how the Internet connects people.
The mycorrhizal network is made up of hyphae (菌丝),which connect the roots of different plants and trees. These hyphae act like an underground internet, allowing plants to exchange nutrients, water, and even hormones (激素). For example, if one tree is under stress due to drought or disease, it can send out hormones to warn other nearby trees of the danger. The other trees can then prepare themselves for the coming threat.
Human beings can help trees and mushrooms by practicing “mycorestoration” in regenerative projects. With the Global Tree Initiative working towards reforestation and preserving natural habitats, it is important to share how mycorestoration can supply innovative ways to mitigate the impact of human activities.
Fungi are natural decomposers (分解器) that break down complex organic matter, like dead trees, into simpler compounds that can be absorbed by plants. This decomposition process is crucial for the health of our forests, as it contributes to nutrient cycling, soil formation, and carbon sequestration. By introducing native fungi species into areas where deforestation has occurred, we can help regenerate soil and support the growth of new trees. Fungi form symbiotic (共生的) relationships with tree roots, improving their ability to absorb water and nutrients. This increased access to resources accelerates tree growth and improves their resilience to stress, such as drought or disease.
Fostering sustainable communities through mycorestoration can be conducted through global partnerships that promote ecology within Ecovillage Design Education. The Global Ecovillage Network’s presence in five continents and in over 8,000 communities around the planet, helps the regenerative approach to community building and preservation of existing forests. By promoting sustainable land management practices and reducing our reliance on extractive industries, ecovillages can help prevent deforestation and protect the habitats of countless plant and animal species.

【推荐2】In recent years, our in-person interactions went down, and the time we spent on screens went up. The relationship between tech and mental health is a tricky (微妙的) one. A growing number of facts suggest possible connections between the amount of time we spend on social media and a negative impact on our well-being.
Many apps are designed to draw our attention and not let go for as long as possible. “Like” buttons, bright red notifications (通知) and never-ending news keep us focused. Studies show that if you look at your phone when you get a new notification, you are likely to check other things too. These are called within-phone interruptions (干扰) and you can lose most of your day to them. It has been found that when a task is interrupted by push notifications, it can end up taking four times longer to complete than it would do otherwise.
For most people, the answer to this issue is a digital detox: deleting as many apps as you can or cutting yourself off from your devices. However, balance is what will help avoid tech overload, and there are many ways that we can make that easier for ourselves.
Some apps can help you focus by visualising (可视化) something that only grows when you have long time working, not scrolling. Others block attractive apps for a short time so you don’t fall into endless scroll-holes, which is a lot easier than repeatedly deleting and redownloading your favourite apps. I also recommend limiting push notifications and moving your phone away when you need to focus, for a 2017 study found that the presence of only a phone can easily take your attention away, even when it isn’t in your line of sight.
Getting rid of social media or your devices altogether was once a fashionable piece of advice, but not only is it unworkable for most of us, it isn’t advisable either. As much as tech can be a source of stress, in a time when the world feels more difficult to navigate (应对) than usual, it can also be a much-needed source of relief, joy and connection.

【推荐3】Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom，baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer. During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings. However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring. We need to look at ourselves, set new goals, and decide how to improve ourselves.
In England, people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we’d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year’s resolution (决心). These can be anything from improving one’s health through exercise or giving up bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance.
Luckily, we don’t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people. We can do this whenever we like. The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.
Sometimes it’s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is “to begin is to be half-way there. ” I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier.
The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic goals. If we do this, it’s easy to lose heart, because the final goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals that you want to reach on the way to your final goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.

【推荐1】She was returning from teaching out in a small community. It was a black, moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.
She thought back to the time when she had first started teaching out in small communities. During those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.
Her family didn't stop worrying about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but as he ran toward the car in the dark, she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need, she couldn't leave him here in this storm.
The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a convenience store. She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come to pick him up, she wished him well and then left.
Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. It felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour.
“I hope they'll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.

【推荐2】When I was 3 years old, I was found to be deaf in my left ear and have a small problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow.
Imagine being able to shut out all sounds as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it even makes me feel like a superhero sometimes
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't
In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Having a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however.
On the first day I got my aid, when I was 8, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men?"
At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it's not just those kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens.
Every video on social media that lacks subtitles, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it.
Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted.
As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I'm lucky.
I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences.
