Taking a picture of your tongue with a mobile phone could soon instantly tell you how healthy you are. Researchers believe the images can reveal important information about a patient’s health and even give them early warning of serious illness.

A team at the University of Missouri is developing a system that can analyze pictures using a 5,000-year-old Chinese principle, which is based on the flow and balance of positive and negative energies in the body, and uses the tongue as a key to learning about a person’s physical health, or “zheng” according to Chinese medicine.

“Within a year, our goal is to create an application for smart phones that will allow anyone to take a photo of their tongue and learn the status of their zheng,” said Dong Xu, chair of MU’s Computer Science Department in the College of Engineering and the co-author of the latest study.

The software analyzes images based on the tongue’s color and coating to distinguish between tongues showing signs of “hot” or “cold” zheng. Shades of red and yellow are associated with hot zheng, whereas a white coating on the tongue is a sign of cold zheng.

“Hot and cold zheng doesn’t refer directly to body temperature,” said Xu, “Rather, it refers to a series of symptoms associated with the state of the body as a whole.”

For the study, 263 gastritis(胃炎) patients and 48 healthy volunteers had their tongues analyzed. The gastritis patients were classified by whether they showed infection by a certain bacteria as well as the intensity of their gastritis symptoms. In addition, most of the gastritis patients had been previously classified with either hot or cold zheng. This allowed the researchers to test the accuracy of the software’s analysis.

“Our software is able to classify people based on their zheng status. And as we continue to work on the software we hope to improve its ability,” said another co-author Ye Duan, “Eventually everyone will be able to use this tool at home using webcams or smart phone applications, which will allow them to monitor their zheng and get an early warning about possible ailments.”

The world is filled with smart,talented and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage,and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes,“Job means ‘just over broke(破产)’”.And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,most workers“ live within their means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people .They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph that .

A.he is just one of the talented people

B.he is ready to help others

C.he has a sharp sense of hearing

D.he knows little about car repairing

2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by .

A.spend more than they can afford

B.do in their own way

C.live in their own circle

D.live within what they earn

3.Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the author?

A.They don’t work hard enough

B.They lack financial intelligence

C.They don’t make full use of their talents

D.They have no specialized skills.

4.The success of McDonald's lies in its .

A.skills at making hamburgersB.good business systems

C.talented workers D.excellent service

5.The main purpose of the author is to tell us .

A.how young people can find a satisfactory job

B.what schools should teach students

C.why so many talented people are poor

D.how McDonald’s makes much money

 

阅读下面的短文,并根据文章后的要求答题。

[1]We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day,and dinner the most enjoyable.It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family.But what about lunch?

[2]In today's fast-paced society,few people take time to enjoy this midday meal.Most of us just rush right through it.We grab a quick salad,or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers.Sometimes,if there is a deadline around the corner,we just .

[3]The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either.We are constantly troubled by e-mail,social media,and 24-hour news.Even When we do sit down for lunch,we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves.

[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems,and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break.These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift,but it's up to them whether they do so or not.

[5]Frank Partnoy,a former Wall Street trader,says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch.This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society.Writing in The Guardian,Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective.A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box.It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context.If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues,we are more likely to slow down,something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain.

[6]Despite these benefits,some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch.Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult:Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal.
