13、 in skin rashes(红疹).Music festivals do not directly cause skin rashes.In this case,one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat,as music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high,and heat is a known cause for rashes.When working with real-world data,confounde
14、rs could number in the thousands.AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs.With this proof-of-concept,now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapi

19、etitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works.In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job.The lifetime employme

22、ased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession.All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system.During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors.In the United States,

28、stem 11.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The extremely hard situation during recessions.B.The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C.The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D.The features of lifetime employment in Japan.D As a rider,Anna Kiesenhofes Olympics victory might

33、ght by the peloton(主车群),the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing among themselves for Gold,not knowing that Remehofere was still in front.While it might be a misjudgment from the rest of the peloton that allowed Kiesenhofer to keep her lead of more than two minutes,other riders
