11、g water. For 18 months, every time Bastawrous and his team set up their “mobile” eye clinic in yet another new location, they had to drag heavy, fragilehospital equipment cross-country. There was another problem, as one local doctor described it, “We dont even have enough doctors and now you also wa

12、nt eye surgeons? Thats probably a pipe dream.”All this convinced Bastawrous that something fundamental was needed. So he started exploring ways to replace his clinic with a single, convenient device: a smartphone. He co-developed an app-based visual test that gathers as much information as the class

13、ic one, using similar principles. The critical difference is that almost anyone can carry it out after just a few minutes of training.

18、inly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale （大规模） surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,

19、000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five ormore hour

20、s of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweetspot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study arg

21、ue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day.

I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses. Occa

28、sionally Id pull out my smartphone to take pictures on anything interesting. I recorded an inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest. At times, I consulted my smart watch to check on my heartbeat, mileage and calorie burn. Eventually I realized I was quite lost. Not a problem of

29、course. Online maps came to my rescue.But something bothered me. In what Id intended as a nature experience, here I was using very high technology to help myself out.
