Have you ever recorded information about your everyday activities by means of a smartphone?Perhaps you've tracked(追蹤)how many kilometers you've run,how many hours you've slept or how many calories you've burned in a day.
If so,you've taken part in a movement called the "Quantified Self Movement",also called self-tracking.The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle.
Tracking daily activities isn't a new idea.In past years,athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition,training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal.Similarly,doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies(過敏),headaches and other health problems.However,it wasn't until 2007 that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly,invented the term "Quantified Self".Wolf says that self-tracking will change our sense of self with the purpose of making us more effective in the world.
Self-tracking is becoming a lot more popular these days,as it becomes easier for people to use modern technology tools to track what they're doing and share it with others.Recently,tools such as smartphones,along with newly published wearable things can help record personal data including sleeping hours,stress levels,mood and soon.With these tools,self-tracking can help us recall our behavior with greater accuracy(精確).
Although people benefit a lot from self-tracking,Dennis Nash,president of Data Speaks Health Solutions,says self-tracking has its drawbacks.Once people start tracking their daily activities,it can become an addition people like to do often.Also,they might begin to worry too much about their health.
While self-tracking doesn't guarantee(保證)that one's quality of life will improve,it can stress the importance of eating well and exercising daily.After all,the Quantified Self Movement's focus is motivating(激勵)people to apply enough energy to make healthier choices.

2.We all know the sun is important.It makes life on our planet possible.But how does the sun do that?It's the sun's energy.
Energy from the sun is called solar energy(太陽能) It comes in the form of light or heat.People have used solar energy for thousands of years.The sun's energy can be used to heat water and even food.If you own a magnifying glass,your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun.Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it causing a fire.This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal(熱的)energy.
We can also turn the sun's light into electricity.This is done with solar panels(板).Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon(硅).The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers(晶片).When the sunlight hits the solar panel,the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires(電線).Using this technology,we can run a calculator and even power cars in an easy way.
But what happens on cloudy days?The electrons in the silicon will stop moving,which means the electricity can't flow.But this doesn't mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days.People can use the batteries(電池)which are attached to(附著于)solar panels to store the electricity.So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.
Did you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be?In fact,in the last few years.jye.ai panels have become much more affordable for people to use.Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used,imagine what we could do if we used the sun's energy to power our planet.We all know the sun is important.Its energy makes life on our planet(1) 發(fā)布:2024/12/27 18:30:2組卷:2引用:3難度:0.5 -
