19、oeder says this has not been directly shown before. However, the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise. It may be that active people like to join gyms.

25、viser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.“Dont give up on your childhood dream!” “Hes right,” I thought. “I should just stick it out and I shouldnt disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture.”It was awful. I was agonized, holding on to a chi
26、ldhood dream that had long since faded. When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: “Right now, what do you want to do with your life?” Thats when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if its not what you want as an ad
27、ult. Luckily, it wasnt too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasnt something I had always imagined myself pursuing - but at that moment, it was what I wanted.We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change - and thats perfectly OK.

31、 First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations, broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million yea
32、rs from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years.

33、d by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us.
