This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificialintelligence ( AI) revolution. words into patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money. That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an everbigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The AI revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the doctor will surely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in publichealth systems which are dutybound to cut unnecessary costs. s knife or the chemist39。s lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better.

All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK. Many runners bee interested in times. They try to break the 40minute barrier for the 10K, or run under four hours for the marathon. Yet, really, these times are almost meaningless. And as soon as they are achieved, another target is thrown out almost immediately. Running brings us joy. Watch small children when they are excited, at play, and mostly they can39。s a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield, caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood, is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run. “I don39。This will to run is born. In fact, humans may well have evolved (進化) the way we did because of our ability to run. As children, and even adolescents, we can respond to this natural call to run whenever the feeling takes us. If we push on, running harder, deeper into the loneliness, further away from the world and the structure of our lives, we begin to feel strangely excited, separated yet at the same time connected, to ourselves. With nothing but our own two legs moving us, we begin to get a sense of who, or what, we really are. After a long run, everything seems right in the world. Everything is at peace. To experience this is a powerful feeling, strong enough to have us ing back, again and again, for more.(1)Why does the author think setting time goals is almost meaningless? those time goals can3
