1 . Good Habits to Help You Feel Inspired Daily

Remember that your daily routine (日常生活) isn’t set in stone. You can test the structure of your day and improve it based on what works best for you. Here are a few ideas:

Morning affirmations. Affirmations are repeated words or phrases that clearly show positive changes. You can repeat affirmations(肯定) to feel confident.     1     .

Take breaks. Taking breaks throughout the day improves brain function, learning, and productivity.     2    . Then you can return to your day with a fresh perspective.

    3    . Set aside a little time each day to express yourself. A study found that creative activities have short-term benefits, like boosting your mood and reducing stress.     4    . Look for a creative hobby, like journaling, creative writing, dance, drawing, painting, music, anything that makes you shine!

End-of-day ritual. Just as morning ritual sets the tone for the day ahead, an evening routine prepares your body for a restful night’s sleep. Enjoy a cup of tea a couple of hours before you go to sleep. Herbal teas like chamomile (洋甘菊) have calming effects to ease you into a good night’s rest.

Blue light from devices, like your TV or phone, disturbs sleep patterns.     5    . Turn your phone on “do not disturb” at least 30 minutes before bed. Dim the lights or use candles to further reduce the bright lights of daytime.

A．Express yourself.

B．Share your opinion with others.

C．A good night’s sleep does benefit you.

D．For example: “I am happy, healthy, and strong.”

E．This can lead to sleep disorders that make it difficult to fall asleep.

F．Over time, you’ll also prevent disease and have a more positive outlook.

G．A break can mean a five-minute walk, a short meditation, or a moment to sit in the sunshine with a cup of tea.

3 . The first appointment this month was for high fever, the second for red eyes and now your child has a cough. With limited time off at your job, there’s no way you are taking him to the clinic again this month. You decide Dr. Google will work as you enter symptom into your search box. You’re not alone!

While online self-diagnosis (自我诊断) resources seem like savers in our moments of confusing illness, healthcare professionals see dangers in this practice.

For some, it’s a simple math equation: Symptoms + Internet search = You’re probably dying. “People read about the worst possible situation on Google when they look up their symptoms. This can contribute to great stress,” says Dana Corriel, a Primary Care Physician at Highland Medical. “It’s human nature to worry about the worst possible outcomes.”

Besides, Corriel warns of health blogs written by people unqualified to be giving advice. “Often, the information is too general,” Corriel explains. “Each person has a different family history, different risk factors and a varying social history, all of which contribute to the decision-making process a physician goes through when deciding on a proper diagnosis.”

“While an inaccurate diagnosis can be stressful, the greater risk is that patients take the next step in attempting to treat,” says Nicole Prause, a psychologist and researcher at Liberos. “This can lead to unjustified expense at the least and dangerous effects at worst.” Prause also sees the financial burden of unnecessary testing with the amount at 20- and 30-year-olds now requesting MRIs because they have headaches. The undue stress damages your emotional well-being, and it’s expensive for the patient, the insurance company and the medical provider.

Even after understanding the dangers of self-diagnosis, you can’t get past the convenience of using the Internet. It’s important to know that doctors do not intend to prohibit their patients from playing an active role in healthcare. The key is to be careful of the risks, involved with self-diagnosis and to be able to identify sources of information with an attitude of doubt.

1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

A．By describing his own experience.

B．By presenting problems existing in our life.

C．By imagining a possible situation.

D．By offering a definition of online self-diagnosis.

2. What does Corriel say about turning to the Internet for medical advice?

A．It is extremely convenient.

B．It can bring great stress and anxiety.

D．It helps to diagnose confusing illnesses.

3. What is important when you self-diagnose online?

A．Having a critical eye.

B．Discussing with other patients.

C．Turning to reliable websites.

D．Getting some medical knowledge.

4. What is the main idea of this passage?

A．How to find a doctor online.

B．Dangers on online self-diagnosis.

C．Necessity for self-diagnosis.

D．Ways to seek self-diagnosis online.

4 . Nearly 40 percent of Americans over the age of 65 take five or more different drugs, and doctors often simply have to monitor patients to see if any of those drugs combine to createnegative side effects. When a doctor prescribes(给……开药)a patient more than one drug atthe same time, they currently have no way to predict whether that combination of these drugswill have a negative side effect. A new system from a team of computer scientists at Stanford University presents a novel solution—an AI-driven computer system that can predict theconsequences of combining two drugs.

Drug combinations are a remarkably unstudied area, but as Marinka Zitnik explains, “It’spractically impossible to test a new drug in combination with all other drugs, because just forone drug that would be five thousand new experiments.” Besides, to maintain accuracy alsoneeds strict research procedures.

So Zitnik and her Stanford colleagues set out to find a solution to the problem. They created a massive deep learning system trained on data encompassing(包含)over l9,00 oproteins and how different drugs interact with those proteins. The system is called Decagon, and it can effectively predict the consequences of combining any two different drugs.

To test out Decagon’s predictive abilities the team examined 10 of the systems predicted drug pair interactions that didn’t have clearly known unfavourable interactions. The researchers found new supporting case study evidence backing up 8 of those 10 predictions. For example, one prediction from Decagon suggested muscle inflammation(炎症) would be caused by combining a certain cholesterol(胆固醇) drug with a blood pressure medication. This negative side effect of combining those two drugs was only recently confirmed by a casestudy published in 2017.

The next stage in the project is to try to turn Decagon into a more user-friendly tool thatdoctors can easily navigate(导航) for information when prescribing combinations of drugs, benefiting more people. At this stage, the system only evaluates(评估) drug pairs but there searchers hope to expand that into more complex combinations of drugs in the future.

1. What problem faces doctors when prescribing several drugs together?

A．They can’t prevent side effects of drugs.

B．They don’t know the bad influences of the combination.

C．They have to monitor whether patients will take drugs.

D．They must predict the effects of drugs with an Al system.

2. Why is the area of drug combinations almost unstudied?

A．They require numerous experiments.

B．They are not that important to people.

C．It’s rather expensive to do the research.

D．It’s impossible to keep results accurate.

3. What can we know about Decagon?

A．It can predict influences of combining three drugs.

B．It wouldn’t contribute to people’s deep learning.

C．It can tell the results of combining two drugs.

D．It analyses how proteins interact with each other.

4. Which aspect will researchers work on in the future?

A．Making the system availa ble to more people.

B．Improving some critical functions of the system.

C．Enhancing people’s recognition on its accuracy.

D．Adopting a more friendly attitude toward patients.
