Independent living at home is the ideal for every aging person. But a fall or other health-threatening incidents can change everything rapidly.
The wearable “panic buttons” introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance. But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency. Today there are passive wearables that automatically detect falls and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.
Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field, Rafi Zack decided to find a better alternative. “People aren’t devoted to wearing small devices 24/7, and camera-based systems are an invasion(侵犯)of privacy,” he points out, “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes people stay on the floor for a long time. We have to find out how to solve that problem.”
Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer), a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.
Because radar sees through walls, one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person (or two persons, in a future version) in a standard-sized apartment in a senior living facility. The device detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person’s location, posture(姿势), motion and breath. EchoCare tested the device in the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel. ECHO was certified(认证)in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world.
“Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17,000 deadly accidents happen annually.” said SMK Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara. “Bathroom makers, home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare’s solution.” Zack noted, “As more and more elder people live alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increased need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or privacy-invading cameras.”
4. What’s the advantage of ECHO over “panic buttons”?
A. It has camera-based systems. B. It has been widely accepted.
C. It can function without cameras. D. Its buttons can be easily reached.
5. What can we know about ECHO from paragraph 5?
A. It is designed to send out warnings regularly.
B. It monitors dangerous health-related events.
C. It was certified in many developed countries.
D. It detects more than one person at the same time.
6. What can we infer about the future of ECHO?
A. It’ll become more popular with the elderly.
B. It’ll stop 17,000 deaths happening annually.
C. It’ll be used in nursing homes and hospitals.
D. It’ll help elderly people to live an active life.
7. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. An Advanced Medical Instrument
B. A High-tech Monitor for the Elderly
C. The Invention of a Healthcare Device
D. The Improvement of a Medical Facility
C
Being perfect is something many of us want and try to achieve. It makes us feel we’re correct and that our hard work has paid off. However, as much as perfection and being perfect is not all a perfect thing.
Perfection is all about being without mistakes and criticism. Wanting or trying to be perfect can make it hard to admit a mistake. Nevertheless, it is important to admit mistakes and work to fix them. Not being able to take criticism and fix mistakes is being proud, not perfection.
Perfection is a double-edged sword. In our lives, we want perfection. Perfection holds us responsible; it’s the mistakes and imperfection that keeps pushing us harder and further at what we do. It’s the perfect motivator. But it’s also the perfect killer. For example, the movie “Black Swan” showcased how perfection can kill us. Working and training and stress hurt our body, mind, and so much more that we can’t do it any more.
But perfection can also have the opposite effect. The movie “High Strung” showed that perfection doesn’t exist, but practicing and pushing ourselves can bring us great rewards. In “Black Swan,” the main character tried to be perfect but he also compared himself to someone else who he thought was better than him. This added more pressure and self-doubt, which can cause unhealthy ways of achieving perfection. The main character of “Black Swan” didn’t know when to stop, whereas the main character of “High Strung” did, or at least didn’t focus so much on the comparison, and instead focused on the competition and the ones she cared about.
Perfection is something we can’t live without and can’t live with. The only way to keep the sword from cutting us is if we know when to stop. Some days are going to be good days and others will be bad. We have to take whatever day it is — perfect or imperfect — and hope that’s enough.
8. What is the common belief about perfection according to Paragraph 1?
A. Being perfect makes us feel fulfilled.
B. Being perfect is what all of us long for.
C. Being perfect is not good at all.
D. Being perfect is out of reach.
9. Why does the author mention the character in “Black Swan”?
A. To tell us “Black Swan ” is worth seeing. B. To advise us to stop trying hard.
C. To show the benefits of perfection. D. To warn us of the harm of perfection.
10. What does the author advise us to do while trying to be perfect?
A. Try not to make mistakes. B. Stop before going too far.
C. Push ourselves harder. D. Prove our ability to others.
11. What is the attitude of the author to perfection?
A. Indifferent. B. Supportive.
C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
D
It was 1994, and I was a 19-year-old student in my third year at Western University in London, Ontario. I had signed up for a course in the Department of English taught by one Donald S. Hair.
A few weeks into the class, the professor administered our first test. I didn't think I had anything to worry about—until he handed my exam back the following week with a 67 written on it in red ink.
Sixty-seven! I'd never received such a low mark. I was dependent on a scholarship, and any grade below 80 put my future in jeopardy. My seatmate's annoyed expression suggested her mark had been painful too. We angered silently: Professor Hair was an old weirdo (怪人)! How dare he ruin our GPAs? What was the old boy's problem, anyway?
But the real problem was this: He was right. I knew it as soon as I'd cooled off and taken the time to digest his comments. My writing was careless, my understanding of key concepts shallow. Like many of my partners, I was used to earning top grades. Now, for the first time, a teacher had introduced an uncomfortable question. Were we actually “earning” them?
The next day, I went to his office. With burning cheeks, I told him I knew I’d butchered the exam. To my childish surprise, he wasn’t a “weirdo” in the least. He was funny, warm and uncommonly patient. He assured me if I worked hard, I'd achieve my potential in the course, and he’d be available to help me.
I went away, read and read some more. The more I read, the more interesting his classes became, and soon, his complex, absorbing lectures were the highlight of my week. I spared no effort in that course. The grade I earned in his class was the lowest I’d received that year. But I had earned that grade. Nearly 30 years later, I'm still proud of that.
12. What does the underlined word “jeopardy” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Advance. B. Demand. C. Trouble. D. Conclusion.
13. Why does the author mention the seatmate in the text?
A. To explain the test was too difficult.
B. To prove the professor's grading had problems.
C. To suggest she didn't work hard.
D. To show she was unfriendly in class.
14. How does the author feel about the professor in the end?
A. Disgusted. B. Cautious. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. You have to earn a grade instead of “get” it B. Be confident and not afraid of failure
C. You should treasure a good teacher D. Never rely on scholarships forever
