     Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel
way to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert.With cellphones becoming common in  Japan and  rising  concern over expanding  waistlines,  healthcare providers will allow the
calorieconscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists for advice.
     Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis.
About 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the
second. "Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over
what they learned about nutrition when they were younger," the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi said.
"We're hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem."
    Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150
healthcare providers and local governments around the country. Nutritionists can work with photos from
one day's meals to several weeks' worth. Results come back  in  three  days.  People can also log on a
website to get further information.
    Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University's Hirakata Hospital,
also in Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per
month. Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist emails advice
to them. "Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate their portions," Kimura said. "Photographing meals and emailing them can be easier and get more accurate results."
    As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods,obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that
more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the
increased risk of heart disease, type ? diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health
Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015,
Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
     Have you been asked for money by some beggars who have disabilities while you're enjoying
shopping? Do you have any pity for that kind of people or just feel afraid? For whatever reasons,the
number of disabled beggars bumming(讨乞) along the street has increased rapidly.
     Why are there so many disabled people begging in the street? The reasons are so various that we don't need to understand. But at least,we know that they do not lead an easy life. So we should help them in
some ways.
     The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First,accept them. Don't be afraid of looking at
the terrible shape of disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are a part of the society,we can't
abandon them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some
work for the disabled people that would be very nice. That does good not only to disabled people but also to yourself,because you will feel good after your kind action.
     So give an air of warmth to disabled people,and the world would be much better.

                                                       How Long Can People Live?
     She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the
neighborhood on her 121 st birthday.
     When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world's recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of
122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span (寿命)? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or
diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?
     Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers. "Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn't surprise me if
someone alive today reaches 130 or 135," says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.
     Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees."People can live much longer than we think," he says.
"Experts used to say that humans couldn't live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the
number to 120. So why can't we go higher?"
     The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it's all just guessing."Anyone can make
up a number,"says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. "Usually the scientist who picks the highest
number gets his name in Time magazine."
     Won't new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would
probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the
life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,
"adding another 50 percent would get you to 120."
    So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible
(有弹性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington." We can get flies to
live 50 percent longer,"he says. "But a fly's never going to live 150 years."Of course, if you became a new
species (物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.
     Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve (进化)their way to longer life?"It's pretty cool to
think about," he says with a smile.
