16、nced divers. I dived off the boat slowly sinking to about 20m.After nearly 45 minutes, the sound of my breathing was drowned out by a low rumble(隆隆响)like an engine and I felt deep powerful vibrations(震动) as if a big boat with a propeller was passing overhead. The dive instructors eyes were wide with
17、 confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef(礁石). The situation felt sinister(灾难性的).Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushmoomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle(海龟) racing past us? They are normally slow movers so this was very weir

My body went on high alert, ready to react. But I have no power over whatever this is.The only option is to stay very still and let i
20、t do whatever its going to do. It took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which is not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was ambiguous with potential threats pending. Soon we saw other divers.The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when
21、 they stopped I heard the swoosh of sand falling over the seabed. We all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be fatal. When up, it was a huge relief to see all the divers and we all shared incredulous looks before pulling out our breathing tools and shouting, ”Wh
22、at was that?”Back on the boat, we rushed to check the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter(震中). I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not becaus

It also has a fascinating idea-its app, based on mental functioning research, can help detect troubling mental health patterns by collecti
28、ng data on persons smartphone usage-how quickly they type, for instance.The companys app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state. The idea is to use that data to establish a “no

If the habits change, slower or more anxious than normal, the app can warn a health care provider.The promise of this technology has made Mindstrong incredibly popular since it was launched last year; already more than
30、 a dozen counties in California have agreed to apply the companys app to patients. Does the app live up to its promise? Theres no way to tell. Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldnt was
