A geography textbook.BOne of my most beloved possessions is my black, spiral-bound journal . It is a thin, wide -ruled, simple journal with no lock or key that I found at
16、the dollar store. The journal has no monetary (货币的) value but instead holds its value of capturing my daily moments of gratitude.The concept of a gratitude journal originated when my little brother began his gratitude journal. Although he is only twelve, he has truly grasped the concept of gratitude
17、. I remember one of his journal entries saying, I am thankful for my dog because I love walking her in the park ” . A simple walk in the park makes my video game enthusiastic brother grateful and joyful.Seeing how my brother could practice gratitude daily, I was inspired to start my own gratitude jo
18、urnal . Initially, writing in my gratitude journal was such a struggle. On the most typical, dry days when I sat at my desk for hours studying for the SAT, what was there to be grateful for? At one point, I found my gratitude journal to be a pointless concept and I lost belief in my gratitude journa
19、l. In the time when I chose not to journal, I realized how plain my life was. I missed savoring every moment and taking delight in the little aspects of my life that made me smile .I decided to continue writing in my gratitude journal once again . Even though I was not learning in a classroom over t
20、he summer, I still learned in a different manner. The journal has acted as a reflective, personal space for me to recall the past. The simplest moments of my life that were once overlooked are now the highlights of my day.24. Why did the author mention his brothers journal?A. To praise his brother s

Yet recently millions around the globe have downloaded Fac
24、eApp, which allows users to see how they might age in real life.Many had fun with joking that they love the FaceApp old fiter. Beneath the humor is a serious subject: How do we learn to relate to our future selves? Its important that we try to because it could help strengthen the long-term decisions
25、 that we make. However, we often fail to make sacrifices for the grayer versions of ourselves.More than half of the respondents in a recent survey of 2,800 Americans said they rarely or never thought about what their lives might be like 30 years from now. This isnt surprising, since most of us are f
26、irmly rooted in the present and thinking about the distant future can seem like a distant priority （优先）. My ongoing research might also offer an explanation: We tend to think about our future selves as if they are someone different from who we are today. In an effort to narrow these empathy (共情)gaps
27、, my research workmates and I have tried to humanize peoples future selves in the same way others have tried to humanize charity receivers.

Despite this research, Im skeptical that the app users will suddenly increase their pension contributions and care about their
29、 health. The silly app isnt paired with an immediate opportunity to change any of these things.The lesson from FaceApp shouldnt be that we need to marry hi-tech visuals with savings for retirement . The lesson, then, takes the form of a question: What more can be done to urge us to think about, care

33、 may renew peoples opinion on when humans ancestors began standing upright.An international team of researchers said the fossilized skeleton of a male ape that lived in the humid forests of what is now southern Germany bore a striking resemblance （相似之处）to modem human bones. In a paper published by t
34、he journal Nature, they concluded that the previously unknown species- named Danuvius guggenmosi-could walk on two legs but also climb like an ape.The findings raise fundamental questions about our previous understanding of the evolution of the great apes and humans, said Madelaine Boehme, who led t
35、he research.The question of when apes could walk on two legs has fascinated scientists since Charles Darwin first argued that they were the ancestors of humans.

Unlike humans, though, it had a powerful bi
38、g toe that would have allowed it to grab branches with its foot easily.Fred Spoor, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, called the fossil finds “fantastic but said they would likely be denied or suspected by others, not least because they could challenge many existing ideas abou

45、osphere in forests can benefit your health.
