4 . People with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic can spread the disease without any outward signs that they're sick. But a newly developed AI, with a keen algorithmic ear, might be able to detect asymptomatic cases from the sounds of people's coughs, according to a new study.
A group of researchers at MIT recently developed an artificial intelligence model that can detect asymptomatic COVID-19 cases by listening to subtle differences in coughs between healthy people and infected people.
Indeed, it is the Alzheimer's model that the researchers adapted in an effort to detect COVID-19.“The sounds of talking and coughing are both influenced by the vocal cords and surrounding organs.” co-author Brian Subirana, a research scientist in MIT's Auto-ID Laboratory said in a statement. “AI can pick up simply from coughs, including things like the person's gender, mother tongue or even emotional state. There's in fact sentiment strongly fixed in how you cough.”
First, they created a website where volunteers-both healthy and those with COVID-19-could record coughs using their cellphones or computers; they also filled out a survey with questions about their diagnosis and any symptoms they were experiencing. People were asked to record “forced coughs,” such as the cough you let out when your doctor tells you to cough while listening to your chest with a stethoscope.
Through this website, the researchers gathered more than 70,000 individual recordings of forced-cough samples, according to the statement, Of those,2,660 were from patients who had COVID-19,with or without symptoms. They then used 4,256 of the samples to train their AI model and 1,064 of the samples to test their model to see whether or not it could detect the difference in coughs between COVID-19 patients and healthy people.
The AI model correctly identified 98.5% of people with COVID-19, and correctly ruled out COVID-19 in 94.2% of people without the disease. For asymptomatic people, the model correctly identified 100% of people with COVID-19, and correctly ruled out COVID-19 in 83.2% of people without the disease.
But "whether or not this performs well enough in a real-world setting to recommend its use as a screening tool would need further study,"Lubinsky told Live Science."What's more,further research is needed to ensure the AI would accurately evaluate coughs from people of all ages,’’ he said.

5 . A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (消耗) at least an ounce (盎司) of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But long before researchers have noticed that the incidence (发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption (消费) averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.
At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.
1. We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths __________.| A．in highly-developed countries |
| B．in countries of the yellow-skin race |

| A．Movies | B．Advertisements |
| C．Health and Diet | D．Entertainment |
| A．the changes in people’s diet in the United States |
| B．the effect of eating fish regularly on people’s health |
| C．the high incidence of heart disease in some countries |
| D．the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures |
6 . Nordic Walking
Started in Finland in the early 20th century, Nordic walking used to be a summer training exercise for cross-country skiers.
Nordic walking is great for people who are looking for a smart physical activity with maximum health benefits, combined with fun and convenience. Nordic walking takes fitness walking to a new level by adding poles to produce an incredible upper body workout.
When you walk normally and carry poles with you, it is called the “2-wheel drive”. As soon as you hold the poles properly and start using your upper body, you're now in the "4-wheel drive". Every step should begin with the heel touching the ground.
| A．Just remember to choose lightweight walking shoes. |
| B．Your hands should always be in a “hold-n-go” state with the poles. |
| C．As with any sport, it is always important to have the right equipment. |
| D．There are also many Nordic walking clubs that offer regular weekly walks. |
| E．This strengthens your arms, chest, back and makes your body more flexible. |
| F．The real breakthrough of Nordic walking as a practiced exercise came in 1997. |
| G．It is now progressing well into other countries such as Japan, Australia, the UK and the USA. |
7 . Negative thinking is the easiest way to slow down your business and personal goals. But how do you get rid of negative thoughts? We asked members of the Forbes Coaches Council for advice. The views varied widely, but they all had one idea in common：
Do you want to catch a cold? Get around people with a cold. I am not sure whether the advice still stands, but it certainly means something to me when coaching others. I see a lot of people associating with like—minded and often negative people when they are trying to change something in their lives, like a job. Negative people are not optimistic. Get around positivity physically, through your ears and eyes.
Don’t expect everything to be perfect.
Expecting everything to be perfect can be disturbing and robs you of true happiness.
Become intentional about your attitude.
| A．You are in control. |
| B．Get around positive people. |
| C．Assuming a positive attitude is an intentional action. |
| D．Change your attitudes whenever it is possible. |
| E．Make sure your vision of success is rooted in reality. |
| F．The trick is not to get caught up in your negative thoughts. |
| G．The more you practice positive mind—shifts, the easier it becomes. |

10 . In Japan, more than 25% of the population is over 65, a figure set to rise to 40 percent by 2050.
That means authorities need to think about ways to keep healthy and active for longer but also about how to cope with labor shortages.
At Cross Heart, more than half of the 119 caregivers are over 60, and 15 of them are over 70. The foundation that runs this nursing home and others in Kanagaw a Prefecture has raised the official retirement age to 70 but allows employees to keep working until 80 if they want to and can.
Although older workers have constraints—some can’t do the heavier tasks—they also offer advantages over younger workers who want time off for their children, said nursing home director Kaori Yokoo.
“Plus, because they’re close in age, they can relate to each other more, ” she said. For the older workers, the money is a nice benefit, but the main motivation is the activity and sense of community.
Hiroko Akiyama, at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Gerontology, said a Japanese 65-year-old is in much better physical and mental shape than a 65-year-old a few decades ago. “They are full of energy, and healthy and long-liv ing,” she said. Her research has found that working helps keep seniors that way.
Meanwhile, researchers are working on robots that can lift the elderly out of beds and wheelchairs.
Still, Japan can’t rely only on seniors or, potentially, robots to staff its nursing homes, where the need will only grow as the population ages, analysts say.
Japan has agreements with Indonesia, Vietn am and the Philipp ines under which applicants who complete job training and pass a Japanese language test can work at a Japanese nursing home. But many Japanese also express deep concern about cultural differences.
1. From the text we can learn that in Japan ______.| A．money w ill be spent increasing the skills of the workforce |
