Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Morgan Ridler,a two-year-old boy from Welsh,was diagnosed(诊断) with adrenocortical carcinoma last year.He had to leave his home in Swansea to suffer a risky operation in Birmingham because the doctors there were the only ones willing to take it on with such low survival rates—only a 10 percent chance of survival.
When a student nurse heard his Welsh-speaking mother comforting him in their native language,she decided to make sure Morgan would not feel frightened when his family were away during the nights.She wrote a series of comforting Welsh words on Morgan’s bedside notes,including their phonetic(近似语音的) spelling,to make sure all the doctors and nurses treating him could comfort their young patient if needed.The words included,“You’re OK” and “You’re safe”.
It was not until a year later that Natalie Ridler,32,his mother,learnt about the act of kindness,after she requested a copy of his medical notes to help to make sense of what he had gone through.“I want to say thank you to her and I have nominated(提名) her for a student nursing award to thank her for going above and beyond,” Natalie said.Natalie posted about the act of kindness on social media and wanted to publicize it.In the post,she said,“...it made my heart so full.What an unbelievable nurse she will make one day.”
The nurse got in touch with the family and spoke with Natalie over the phone.The nurse told Natalie she has now graduated and is due to start her first role in ICU next week.
Morgan is now just waiting for a small operation to remove his treatment line into his chest.“After that he can ring his bell to say he is all clear,” Natalie said.

In the modern age,a great number of people suffer from back pain,which not only affects their quality of life but also costs them a lot of money.Most traditional therapies,such as massager(按摩) devices,tend to focus on muscle relaxation and can’t specifically target joint stiffness(关节僵硬),as they perform simple shaking or pressing methods with balls.
Recognising the need for an effective back therapy solution,Chongsu Lee built BackHug,a pioneering health-tech company,which has risen to the challenge of alleviating this situation by introducing a solution that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to make back less painful.
Using AI-powered technology and robotic fingers,the device targets the main cause of most back pain,which is stiff joints in the back,neck,and shoulder.BackHug’s groundbreaking invention,the Back Tension Treating (BTT) technology,stands as Lee’s promise to mix cutting-edge technology with healthcare.
BackHug’s achievement extends beyond its physical device to use AI to improve back health.The company’s BTT technology represents a breakthrough in measuring and monitoring back tension.This technology allows users to track changes in their back tension,providing them with a series of data,which will be combined with other data collected on the BackHug App,especially from its in-app physiotherapy(物理疗法).Then AI comes in to deal with the data and offer continuously personal treatment programmes for users.
When it comes to back care,many people find themselves facing large bills and waiting lists for relief,which is why BTT offers an accessible solution through a booking model starting at just £89 per month.This game-changing solution for back problem that could change lives and improve overall well-being brings professional-level back therapy to your home or workplace without the high costs.
