21、 Supercomputers which can analyse blood samples and predict which patients are likely to become seriously ill could save tens of thousands of lives a year, it was revealed last night, according to The Daily Express.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen “at risk” patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: “I am so excited about this form of technology.”Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. “I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare.”
The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.
He found the technique forecast outcomes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. “This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient.” Prof Young said, “Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.”
【1】What does the underlined phrase “screen” in Paragraph2 mean?
A.comfort. B.treat.
C.spot. D.nurse.
【2】How do supercomputers help save lives?
A.By storing blood samples.
B.By analyzing patients’ cases.
C.By observing changes in blood cells.
D.By assisting doctors with their operations.
【3】Why did Professor Young mention the Industrial Revolution?
A.To show the influence of AI.
B.To stress the importance of health care.
C.To introduce the topic of supercomputers.
D.To present the achievement he has accomplished.
【4】What do we know about the new technology?
A.It helps patients recover earlier.
B.It has helped save thousands of lives.
C.It will promote the health service greatly.
D.It is intended for patients with kidney diseases.

Swapping (交换) books is an easy and fun way to share your literature and keep your book collection updated.
You can exchange books you have read with nearby friends and relatives. Perhaps there is a book that you know a local friend has read and that you want to get your hands on.

If you have lots of books that you are happy to swap, or even give away, these could be left in a clear plastic container, with a lid (盖子), outside your door or by your garden or driveway. Leave a note in the box telling passers-by that they can look through them and choose some.
You can also join Bookswap, the bookswap.co.uk website. It helps people get rid of books and pick up others.

24、Just as certain actors led me to acting, certain cooking show hosts should be responsible for my strong interest in the subject of food. The first is of course Julia Child, the queen of culinary (烹饪的) TV.
Child not only changed what Americans cooked and ate, but also greatly influenced their diet of weekly television viewing. Her show The French Chef, which aired in 1963, was one of the first cooking shows on American television and lasted for 10 years. Watching her expertly cook, often making mistakes along the way, made viewers feel that they too could create such dishes. Her achievements were amazing, from her first work, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, to countless others, as well as season upon season of shows.
Child has always interested me. Watching The French Chef with my mom was a way to spend some time with her because with three kids and a full-time job, she was extremely busy. In fact, we would often watch the show when she was doing housework. My mother admired Child and in turn passed the feeling to me along with an interest in how someone goes about cooking a meal.
Years later, I caught an old episode (集) of the show at my parents’ home and watched it with even more attentiveness than I had when I was young. When Child said in her last episode, “This is Julia Child, bon appétit (祝您好胃口)!” Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes. I realized that I was moved by Child not only because she brought back happy boyhood memories but also because Child herself was so happy to be doing what she was doing.
I saw at that moment the embodiment (典型) of what I and so many of us want to become. To spend your life doing what you love and doing it well.

【2】Why did the young author watch The French Chef?

A.He was surprised by her words.

C.He understood the meaning of life.
D.He found he had a talent for cooking.
