27、e Future of China-Brazil Trade RelationsDAs they reach school age, about 90 percent of children will have experienced a condition in which fluid (液体) fills the middle ear, muffling (使模糊) sound and sometimes causing infection. The fluid usually clears on its own, but if not, it can lead to a painful
28、ear infection called acute otitis (中耳炎) media. In some cases the fluid can persist for more than a year, causing hearing loss during this period, and slowing down their development of language and social skills.Diagnosis usually requires a visit to a specialistbut researchers have now developed an a
29、pp that detects this fluid just as accurately, with only a smartphone and a paper funnel (漏斗).Doctors typically detect the problem by peering into the ear for a visual assessment. Yet, this method has only a 50 percent accuracy rate. “Right now, if you bring your child to a pediatrician, or to any u
30、rgent care family doctor, the way they look at whether or not theres fluid in the middle ear is by looking at the eardrum,” says Sharat Raju, a surgeon in the department of head and neck surgery at the University of Washington.For a cheaper and more accessible alternative, researchers at the Univers
31、ity of Washington turned to smartphones. First the user follows a template to cut and tape a piece of paper into a funnel, which can be placed between a smartphone and the patients ear. Next the app plays a chirping sound through the phones speaker; the sound waves bounce off the eardrum and hit the
32、 phones microphone, where they register and are analyzed by the app. An eardrum with fluid behind it will vibrate (振动) differently than if the middle ear is full of air, as it normally is.To develop the app, the researchers first played chirps for patients with and without fluid in their ears. They
33、recorded the echoes (回音), which indicate the eardrums mobility. Then they used a machine learning model to classify the returning sound waves, determining which audio characteristics indicated a normal ear and which suggested the presence of fluid. Once they tested the app on 98 children, ranging fr
34、om 18 months to 17 years old, at Seattle Childrens Hospital. It correctly detected fluid in 85 percent of cases, and correctly identified fluid-free ears in 82 percent.The researchers are currently trying to get FDA approval for the app, and have founded a company to commercialize it. They hope to m
35、ake it available by the end of the year, to help parents track childrens ear health at home.12What do we know about the fluid from the first paragraph?AIt is mostly part of childrens growth.BIt is unavoidable for any child.CIt is a permanent physical condition.DIt is beyond any medical means.13What
