Questions to ask yourself before making a big decision
Life is packed with decisions, big and small. If you feel a big decision is appearing in your life, don’t hide! Ask yourself these questions to get clear on what’s the right choice for you.
How committed am I to this change?
Rate your level of commitment on a scale out of 10. 1. Is your level of commitment higher than a 7? That’s great data for your decision!
Is this decision in line with my long-term goal?
2. Write down your goals. Then think about how this decision plays into that longer-term plan.
3.
This is one of my favorite questions! If something is stirring(搅动) within you --- a creative idea, a calling to move somewhere new, a desire to end a relationship --- what are you giving up when you don’t do it? What might you be missing out on in your life if you do nothing?
Is now the right time?
Bear in mind: 4. But there are few real reasons we ever need to delay making a big one when it presents itself. Remember, life is always uncertain and time waits for no one.
Making a big decision doesn’t have to be so difficult. There are no right or wrong answers, or right or wrong ways to live your life. 5. Your inner wisdom has the answers. So get busy asking the person who knows best --- you.
A. What is the risk of not doing it?
B. How long have I been thinking about his?
C. Not all decisions need to be made immediately.
D. Think about the amount of work, effort and time you’d have to put in.
E. We always want to know what we need to do next.
F. You don’t have to ask other people what they think.
G. Ask yourself: What do I want five even ten years from now?
Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.
The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UK’s Medical Research Council, said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were published in the Journal of Radiology.
According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.
The software was given scans of 256 patients’ hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die.
The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.
The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.
Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, “This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.”
1.What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?
A.Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.
B.Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.
C.Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills.

2.What can we know about the software from the passage?
A.It can make accurate long-term predictions.
B.It has not yet been widely put into use.
C.It can prevent high blood pressure in the lungs damaging part of the heart.
D.It can help doctors make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment.
3.The underlined word “deteriorates” in the last paragraph probably means “________.”
A.continues B.worsens
C.exists D.improves
