We’ve all known people who talk to themselves, people who sometimes squinch their faces into horrible grimaces when they believe no one is watching, people who have some hysterical fear---of snakes, the dark, the tight place, the long drop…and , of course, those final worms and grubs that are waiting so patiently underground.asylum英[ə'saɪləm] 美[ə'saɪləm]n. 庇护;收容所,救济院squinch[skwintʃ]vt. 扭歪(五官等)He squinches his features sorely.他疼得扭歪了脸。

Which is not to say that a really good horror movie may not surprise a scream out of us at some point, the way we may scream when the roller coaster twists through a complete 360 or plows through a lake at the bottom of the drop.

On one calculation, replacing refrigerants that damage the atmosphere would reduce total greenhouse gases by the equivalent of90bn tonnes of CO2 by 2050. Making the units more energy-efficient could double that. By contrast, if half the world’s population were to give up meat, it would save 66bn tonnes of CO2. Replanting two-thirds of degraded tropical forests would save 61bn tonnes.

2021年河北衡水高中英语新高考外刊作文素材阅读讲义(107)翻译和笔记在后面哦~FinlandPrescribing tablets Finns turn to technology to help frail old people live at homeIN A GREY office building on the outskirts of Helsinki, a chatty social worker is meeting six elderly people from around town for lunch—via tablets propped on their kitchen tables. For the next half-hour she talks to them about their day and reminds them to have something to drink, because dehydration is particularly dangerous for older people (making them more prone to falls,among other things). Glasses of milk and water are duly raised.The virtual lunch group is part of Helsinki’s remote-care program for its elderly. While many countries with bulging elderly populations are building new care homes, Finland is not planning to do so and, instead, is looking after people in their own homes for longer—even those with dementia who live alone.The guiding principle in Finland is that for anyone, no matter what their age,“home is best”, says Anna-Liisa Lyytinen from Helsinki’s social-services department. Nurses and care workers drop in, often several times a day, to help with meals, bathing, medication, or just to check that everything is all right.Such a painstaking service will be harder to provide as Finland ages. In the next ten years the number of residents older than 75 is expected to increase by around half, as people live longer and the baby-boomers become octogenarians.Finland’s answer to this challenge is technology—unsurprising in a country that claims to have the biggest number of digital health startups per person. At a recent international health-tech fair in Helsinki many, if not most, of the offerings at the Finnish pavilion had to do with helping frail elderly people to live independently. That involves two challenges: making sure that care workers know immediately when something goes wrong (an old person falls over, for example) and slowing the decline of elderly minds and bodies.I n Helsinki’s municipal home-care program, about 4,000 frail people are equipped with various safety gadgets. These include wristbands with GPS, a fall detector, an alarm button and a phone line linked to care workers, who monitor the wearer’s location on their computer screens. Some people who have dementia have sensors on their front doors, which send alerts to the care team if they go out. Most of them are too infirm to walk about much, so they rarely leave their homes, says Hanna Hamalainen, a former manager at the program. When they do go out, she says, it is usually to drop in on friends nearby. But if they venture out in the middle of the night or stray too far from home, care workers are dispatched to find them. Technology cannot replace care workers, but it can help. The most common reason for a home visit by a social worker in Helsinki is to check that Grandma is taking her medicine. A pill-dispensing robot in her home can do that. Each holds a two-week supply of multiple drugs, chimes a reminder when it is time to take them and dispenses the right combination. For one in five people who try them the robots don’t work, usually because Grandma is reluctant to take lots of pills or has advanced dementia.But for the rest, they have cut medication-related visitsby nurses from 30 to just four a month.The idea of frail old folk living alone perhaps worries Finnish people less than many others; Finns pride themselves on their rugged self-reliance. A welcome pack for foreign journalists includes a book of cartoons depicting“Finnish nightmares”, such as having to say“hello”to a neighbour. Social isolation, however, is a big problem for the elderly because it leads to faster cognitive and physical decline. To deal with that, Helsinki runs virtual get-togethers for its homebound elderly that include quizzes, chair exercise classes,sing-alongs, book clubs and a religious discussion led by a priest. These should be regarded as extras, though. A degree of personal interaction, not just the virtual kind, is surely necessary even for Finns.The biggest challenge for both humans and gadgets is to spot problems early. Some Finnish towns are testing technology to unobtrusively track the daily activity patterns of people who live alone. Local tech companies, including MariCare Oy and Benete, have developed systems that use a network of motion sensors to gather data on things like how much a person moves about, visits the bathroom or opens the fridge. Care workers use dashboard summaries of such data to prioritise whom to visit and what to check for. A jump in bathroom visits, for example, may be a sign of a urinary-tract infection. Not opening the fridge as much is a hint that memory problems may be getting worse.Gizmos sometimes misfire. Wristbands give out the wrong co-ordinates, triggering false alarms. A sensor may fail because Grandpa draped a towel over it. Some elderly folk forget to charge their tablets. Such problems can be fixed. But even so,the share of contacts that home-care workers in Helsinki make virtually is not expected to rise much from its current 8% (out of 250,000 visits a month).The biggest gain from technology may be that it makes it easier to keep old people fit enough to remain in their own homes for longer. This is much cheaper than an institution, and usually nicer, too.A 65-year-old Finn can expect to live another 20 years, among the longest life expectancy in Europe. But Finland is in the bottom half of EU countries when it comes to how many of those years are spent in good health, thanks to a fatty diet and a relative lack of exercise, perhaps because the winters are so long. Not every problem has a technological fix.FinlandPrescribing tablets Finns turn to technology to help frail old people live at home芬兰平板处方芬兰人用科技协助病弱老人在家生活•Finland /'finlənd/ n. 芬兰••prescribe /prɪ'skraɪb/ 给…开药(开处方)•to say what medicine or treatment a sick person should have•If these don’t work I may have to prescribe you something stronger.•如果这些药无效,我也许得给你开一些药效更强的。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Positive thinking is a significant element of happiness. In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive (认知的) and behavioral changes, we can all become positive thinkers. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative - it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.Challenge any internal attributions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other people's strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case and visualize a solution for it, then let go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear will not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly worried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting your performance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached to it.So positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, people who are positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.(1)Why is positive thinking a significant element of happiness?A. It means that one is blind to the troubles and difficulties that exist.B. It means that one constantly compares everything with other people's.C. It means that one is strong in mind and has nothing to be afraid of.D. It means that one approaches life and faces challenges more healthily.(2)What does the text suggest about the job you don't like?A. Quitting it and finding a better one.B. Keeping and trying to make it better.C. Being negative and numb to it.D. Challenging yourself with a new outlook.(3)What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?A. Be prepared for the worst: and let go of fear.B. Being constantly worried will lose your job.C. Fear will prevent you being open and creative.D. There is nothing to fear if well prepared.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. How to focus on the positive eventsB. How to be a positive thinkerC. What to do when faced with fearD. What to know of self-evaluation【答案】(1)D(2)B(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文为是一篇议论文,积极的思考是幸福的重要组成部分。

2021年衡水中学高中英语新高考外刊知识学习讲义(002)Apple has unveiled digital wellbeing tools to help people reduce the time they spend glued to their screens.苹果公司推出了一款数字健康工具,以帮助人们减少沉迷于手机的时间。

1unveil sth to show or introduce a new plan, product, etc. to the publicfor the first time(首次)展示,介绍,推出;将…公诸于众SYN reveal◆They will be unveiling their new models at the Motor Show.他们将在汽车大展上首次推出自己的新型汽车。

A new app called Screen Time will offer iPhone and iPad users a dashboard highlighting how much time they have spent using which apps, how many notifications they receive, how often they pick up their device and how their usage patterns compare to the average.这款名为“屏幕时间”的新应用面向的是苹果手机和苹果平板电脑的用户,将会用数字仪表板的形式显示出用户使用哪一款应用消耗了多少时间,用户收到了多少个通知,以及他们拿起手机的频率,还有他们的使用模式和平均水平的对比。

1 notification:the act of giving or receiving official information about sth 通知;通告;告示◆ advance/prior notification (=telling sb in advance about sth) 预先通告◆ written notification 书面通知The app also lets users set daily time limits for individual apps, and a notification will be shown when the time limit is about to expire.Parents will be able to access their children’s activity reports from their own devices to understand and manage their browsing habits.这款应用还让用户设置单个应用的每日使用时间上限,时间快到时会发出通知。

父母将能够在自己的手机上访问孩子的活动报告,了解和管理孩子的浏览习惯。

“Some apps send us flurries of notifications trying to draw us in for fear of missing out,”said Apple’s senior vice-president of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, speaking to a 6,000-strong audience at WWDC, Apple’s annual developer conference, at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose on Monday.“For some of us it’s become such a habit we don’t even recognise just how distracted we’ve become.”苹果公司软件工程高级副总裁克雷格·费德里吉在全球开发者大会上对6000名听众说道:“一些应用因为害怕用户错过内容,不停地发送通知来吸引我们。

对一些人来说,看手机已经成为一种习惯,我们甚至都意识不到自己分神的严重程度。

”苹果一年一度的全球开发者大会本周一在圣何塞麦克恩利会议中心举行。

1 strong:used after numbers to show the size of a group(用于数字后,表示某集体的规模)多达…的,计有…的◆ a 5000-strong crowd多达 5000 人的群众◆The crowd was 5000 strong.聚集的人群有 5000 人。

2 flurry:an occasion when there is a lot of activity, interest,excitement, etc. within a short period of time一阵忙乱(或激动、兴奋等)◆ a sudden flurry of activity突然的频繁活动◆Her arrival caused a flurry of excitement.她的到来引起了一阵哄动。

Screen Time will be available with iOS 12, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, which launches later this year.“屏幕时间”应用将会出现在苹果新一代手机操作系统iOS 12上,该操作系统将于今年晚些时候发布。

Other digital wellbeing features to launch with iOS 12 include enhancements to the “do not disturb”feature, including a bedtime mode that dims the display and hides all notifications from the lock screen until prompted in the morning.随iOS 12一同发布的其他数字健康软件还有免打扰功能的升级版,包括可以调暗屏幕并隐藏锁屏上的所有通知直到用户晨起查看的睡眠模式。

1 display:the words,pictures, etc. shown on a computer screen(计算机屏幕上的)显示,显像a high resolution colour display高分辨率彩色显示2 prompt:to make sbdecide to do sth; to cause sth to happen 促使;导致;激起The discovery ofthe bomb prompted an increase in security.此次发现炸弹促使当局加强了安全工作。

The new operating system will also let users control how notifications are delivered to reduceinterruptions,including the ability to group together notifications or turn them off completely. Apple’s virtual assistant Siri will also make suggestions for notification settings based on which alerts people act upon.新的操作系统还能让用户控制通知发送方式以减少打扰,包括给通知分组或完全关闭通知。

苹果的虚拟助手Siri将基于用户看到通知后的反应提出关于通知设置的建议。

The focus on digital wellbeing comes at a time when technology companies including Facebook, Twitter, Google and Apple are being scrutinised for their use of habit-forming design practices that encourage people to spend more time on their devices,such as infinite scrolling, notifications and other behavioural “nudges”.发布这些数字健康软件的当口,正值脸谱网、推特、谷歌和苹果等技术公司因为让用户上瘾的设计手法而接受审查。

这些设计鼓励人们花更多时间使用手机,比如不停翻阅滚动页面、没完没了的通知以及其他促使用户看手机的小伎俩。

1 nudge:a slight push,usually with the elbow(肘部的)轻推,碰(figurative)He can work hard but he needs a nudge now and then.他能够努力工作,但偶尔需要督促一下。

Apple’stools are very similar to those announced by Google last month at its own annual developer conference, Google I/O. The latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, Android P,also comes with an “app dashboard”which allows users to set time limits on individual apps as well as a wind-down mode before bedtime that stops notifications and turns the screen to greyscale.苹果的这些新软件和谷歌上个月在自己的年度开发者大会——谷歌I/O大会上宣布的新功能非常相似。

谷歌最新版的手机操作系统安卓P也带有让用户设置单个应用使用时间限制的“仪表板应用”,以及在睡觉前停止发送通知和将屏幕调成灰色的淡出模式。

1 greyscale:(of an image 图像 ) produced using only shades of grey, not colour 灰度的;灰色调的◆ I've printed out the pictures in greyscale. 我已经用灰色调打印出图片。
