But a new smartphone app takes advantage of parents fondness for taking pictures of their children to look for signs that a child might be dev
36、eloping an eye disease. The app is the result of a fathers five-year quest to find a way to catch the earliest signs of eye diseases, and prevent loss of vision. Five years ago, doctors diagnosed (诊断)Noah Shaws retinoblastomaa rare type of eye cancerwhen he was 4 months old. To make the diagnosis, t
37、he doctors shined a light into Noahs eye, and got a pale reflection from the back of the eyeball, an indication that there was something wrong there. Noahs father Bryan, a scientist, wondered if he could see that same pale reflection in pictures of his baby son. Sure enough, he saw the reflection, w
38、hich doctors call white eye, in a picture taken right after Noah was born. Then Bryan decided to create an app that could scan photos for signs of this reflection. Now, that app exists, called CRADLE. To test the app, Bryan and his colleagues analyzed more than 50, 000 pictures taken of 40 children.
39、 Half had no eye disease and half had. On average, the app detected white eye in pictures collected 1. 3 years before diagnosis, says Bryan. The app isnt perfect. It sometimes misses white eye when its there, and sometimes says its there when its not. That latter condition is a problem. Even though
40、the so-called false positive occurs less than 1% of the time, thats not good enough. There are about 4 million children born in the U. S. each year. A 1% false positive rate would mean tens of thousands of children showing up at the doctor unnecessarily. Still, Bryan is upbeat about the promise of t
41、he app. This is exciting new technology, and this is how I think were going to go about screening for a number of diseases in the future, he says. 12. What inspired Bryan to create CRADLE?A. His sons diagnosis.B. His family photos.C. His hobby of taking pictures.D. His working experience as a scient
42、ist.13. What do we know about white eye?A. lt is a sign of some eye diseases.B. It hardly causes serious loss of vision.C. It refers to the white part of an eyeball.D. It occurs when no light is reflected from the eye.14. Why is a 1% false positive rate still a problem?A. It may delay the treatment
43、of a patient.B. It may badly affect the future of the app.C. It may raise serious doubts about doctors.D. It may cause a waste of medical resources.15. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word upbeat in the last paragraph?A. Curious.B. Cautious.C. Optimistic.D. Worried.【答案】12. A 1
