A
(2020
·扬州市高三期末检测)A
spin?off
from
the
Massachu?setts
Institute
of
Technology
(MIT)
called
Empatica,
has
created
a
wearable device that monitors epileptic
seizures (
癫
痫发作
)
．
According
to
Statista,
the
value
of
the
global
mHealth market for
2020 is forecasted to be at around 14.5 billion
U
．
S.
dollars. In
fact, 247 million people in the US have downloaded
a healthcare
app for their personal
use.
The new product, Embrace, can be
paired with a companion watch that a
family member, friend or caregiver can
wear. When the companion watch is in
range of the
user
’
s Embrace watch, it
will vibrate to alert the companion
watch of their medical situation or
status.
Embrace is tied together by two
apps: an event detector which sends an
alert when the
user
’
s electrodermal
response reaches a pre set level they
customize based on their history and
health profile; and a diary app which
helps monitor and manage everyday
routines.
The ultra thin Embrace is the
result of several years of research from
MIT
professor
Dr.
Rosalind
W.
Picard,
founder
and
director
of
the
Affective
Computing
Research
Group
at
MIT
Media
Lab
and
her
team.
Embrace
evolved
from
a
discovery with an early device called iCalm in
2020 which allowed the
researchers to
see the outbreak of stress even before it was
noticed by the
subject.
The
sensors
in
the
iCalm
device
measured
the
“fight?or?flight
response”
through electrodermal activity which was measured
from the skin
surface. In a small test
group, the data from the iCalm showed that the
wristband
data
was
related
to
how
long
the
brain
waves
were
suppressed
after
an epileptic seizure. According to
Picard, the data showed the bigger the
signal on the wrist, the longer the
brain waves went flat after the seizure
had supposedly ended. The problem with
that discovery, according to the
researchers,
is
that
someone
who
’
s
had
an
epileptic
seizure
and
then
appears
to recover should be
monitored and not left alone.
Over
time,
Picard
and
her
team
fine?tuned
iCalm
to
what
is
no
w
the
Embrace
watch
which
monitors
the
user
’
s
physiological
stress
levels.
Embrace
monitors electrodermal activity (EDA)
and movement with an objective of
reducing
Sudden
Unexplained
Death
in
Epilepsy
(SUDEP),
the
leading
cause
of
death of those with epilepsy.
Embrace recently launched an Indiegogo
campaign to raise
funds for
further
product
development.
The
company
also
has
partnered
with
the
Epilepsy
Foundation
and
plans
to
give
Embrace
watches
to
children
or
families
who
can
’
t afford
them.

(2020
·扬州中学高三第四次模拟考试
)Alan
, 17, was randomly shot and
killed
by
a
gang
member.
His
father,
Keith,
and
his
mother,
Donna,
were
filled
with
anger
as
they
followed
the
all?consuming
ongoing
investigation
into
the
killing.
A
close
couple,
friends
of
Keith
and
Donna
’
s,
dropped
in
one
evening
and said to them,
“You have to accept this loss. Your son is gone
and none
of this is going to bring him
back. All you need now is acceptance.” Keith
got
angry
with
his
friend
and
asked,
“What
part
of
Alan’
s
death
don
’
t
you
think I accept? Believe
me, I hate to be in so much pain.”
Acceptance is not about liking a
situation. It is about acknowledging
all that has been lost and learning to
live with that loss. It would be too
soon for Keith to be able to accept the
situation. He can acknowledge the
reality
of
the
loss,
but
it
would
be
unrealistic
to
think
he
should
have
found
some
peace with it by then.
The
gang
member
who
killed
Alan
was
sentenced
to
life
in
prison,
and
Keith
and Donna went back to
their own lives. But Keith actually had a new loss
to deal with, an emptiness, which made
the absence of his son
’
s
loss even
louder.
It
is
important
for
people
to
understand
that
gradually,
in
your
own
time,
you can begin to find some peace with
what has happened. In situations such
as
murder,
it
is
vital
to
understand
we
have
a
legal
system,
not
necessarily
a justice
system. Acceptance is a process that we
experience, not a final
stage with an
end point.
No one else could know how
much acceptance Keith was capable of or how
time would affect his process. After
five years, Keith felt he had found as
much acceptance as was possible. Then
he was notified that the shooter was
up
for his parole (
假释
) hearing.
Keith was once again filled with anger.
The proceedings were brief and parole
was denied. Keith was struck by how
quickly it happened and by the tears of
the shooter
’
s the first
time, Keith realized that there were
victims on both ends of the gun.
Keith
walked
over
and
shook
his
hand.
At
that
moment,
something
happened:
Keith
’
s
anger
was
replaced
by
a
curiosity.
He
wanted
to
know
what
this
other
father
’
s life was
like and what led him to the same place. Over the
next
few
years,
the
two
men
worked
together
helping
gang
members
stop
the
violence
and find their
place in the world.
Keith
’
s
acceptance was a journey deeper than ever
expected. And it
happened over many
years, not many months or days. Not everyone will
or can
fully embrace those who have
hurt us, as Keith did, but there is always a
struggle that leads us to our own
personal and unique acceptance.
