Ways to Track Your Personal Health Information on Your Phone
Your smartphone is a powerful and flexible tool for acquiring information related to your health. 1. There are other various ways that allow the user several approaches for acquiring health information.
● 2.The sensors (传感器) built in to your phone can automatically acquire selected types of health information when they are linked to suitable apps. Thus, the apps take advantage of the phone's stock hardware to deliver specialized health-related functions. 3. Numerous apps use the phone's GPS to track outdoor activities like running or walking. A handful of apps also use the accelerometer (加速度计) to track indoor activities like treadmill running，which would be impossible to measure with the GPS.
● Acquire information with a separate health sensor. The smartphone itself is a wonder of modern technology. 4. Here are a few devices you can connect with your phone to track health information: Activity trackers like the fitbit, blood pressure monitor, heart rhythm monitor. Comprehensive platforms like Apple's Health app make it easy to tie all this information together.
● Link to your electronic health records. Much of your health information may be stored in electronic health records maintained by your health care providers. 5.You can access your health records through a patient portal (入口) on your phone or download it with the Blue Button function.
A.See doctor with remote-controlled technology.
B.Acquire information with the phone’s sensors.
C.A popular example is tracking physical activity.
D.This is the most primitive way to track your health information.
E.Patients are now allowed to access information stored in electronic health records.
F.You can use your phone’s native apps or a cloud storage service to track your health information.
G.However, its greatest potential for health tracking may lie in the ability to connect to separate sensors.
The U.S. high school dropout rate has fallen in recent years, with the number of dropouts declining from 1 million in 2012 to about 750,000 in 2016, according to a new study released on Tuesday. The number of “dropout factories" — high schools in which fewer than 60 percent of freshmen graduate in four years—declined significantly during the same period.
"Clear progress is being made," said Bob Wise, a former West Virginia governor who heads the Alliance for Excellent Education, one of the organizations that published the study. “It’s not a total success yet. We shouldn't take a victory lap. But we can at least start warming up.”
Education Secretary Arne Duncan has said the improving graduation rate serves as evidence that the nation's public schools are making progress. But there are many reasons that graduation rates can rise, and not all of them have to do with stronger schools preparing more students for life after high school.
Alabama, for example，made outsize gains in 2014: Its graduation fate jumped more than six percentage points, the second-biggest increase in the nation. But the increase coincided with a policy change that took in the same year: Alabama students no longer had to pass a high school exit exam to earn a diploma. So what looks like a major improvement stemmed at least in part from easier requirements.
It is also not clear how many students are graduating with the skills they need for the workplace or for college. Graduation requirements vary widely across states, and many states offer multiple levels of diplomas with different requirements.
Arizona students can earn a standard diploma that requires four courses in math, four in English and three in science, according to Achieve, a nonprofit organization that has studied graduation requirements in each state. But Arizona students also can earn a “Grand Canyon" diploma, which requires just two courses each in math, science and English—less than many colleges require for admission.

A.there are few dropouts in U. S. high schools

D.the number of high school students is increasing
2.The underlined phrase “coincided with" in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by .

D.It' s more difficult to get than a standard diploma.
