Mark and Scott are twin brothers. They were once great astronauts in NASA (美国国家航空航天局). From 2015 to 2016, Scott spent 340 days at the International Space Station. But Mark still stayed on the earth.

Do you feel sad or lonely at the end of a day Many of us look for ways to make ourselves feel better, perhaps by exercising, cooking or reading. But experts (专家) say keeping a diary can improve our health.
“Just write down your thoughts and feelings and then you will understand them more clearly,” said Julia Samuel, an expert who helps people with their mental (精神的) health problems. “Talking to your diary by writing things down can be as good as talking to another person when you feel bad.” Keeping a diary is also good for people’s physical (身体的) health. A new study has found that people who keep a diary make fewer doctor visits, because it helps them become more relaxed.
Spending too much time on the smart phone may cause stress (压力). So keep away from the smart phone and keep a diary from now on. The more time you spend in writing, the less time you will spend on your smart phone. Experts advise people to write something in the diary every day, or at least every week.

If you stay in space for a long time, will you become a different person Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly from the USA will give you the answer.
Mark and Scott are twin brothers. They were once great astronauts in NASA (美国国家航空航天局). From 2015 to 2016, Scott spent 340 days at the International Space Station. But Mark still stayed on the earth. Scientists wrote down some information about the twins before, during and after the space travel. They used it to study how different a person was after the long space travel.
The full results of the studies will come out in a year or two. But scientists showed us some early findings. When Scott came back from space, he changed a lot. He was 5 cm taller than before. His eyesight became worse. He found that he couldn’t see things clearly. Another change was that he couldn’t move his legs easily just like before. Scientists also found that after Scott came back to the earth, it took him much longer to understand things. As for Mark, he could do so as well as before.
Scientists say when people grow old, their telomeres (染色体端粒) will get shorter. Mark’s telomeres kept getting shorter. However, during Scott’s stay in space, his telomeres got longer.

Do you feel sad or lonely at the end of a day Many of us look for ways to make ourselves feel better, perhaps by exercising, cooking or reading. But experts (专家) say keeping a diary can improve our health.
“Just write down your thoughts and feelings and then you will understand them more clearly,” said Julia Samuel, an expert who helps people with their mental (精神的) health problems. “Talking to your diary by writing things down can be as good as talking to another person when you feel bad.” Keeping a diary is also good for people’s physical (身体的) health. A new study has found that people who keep a diary make fewer doctor visits, because it helps them become more relaxed.
Spending too much time on the smart phone may cause stress (压力). So keep away from the smart phone and keep a diary from now on. The more time you spend in writing, the less time you will spend on your smart phone. Experts advise people to write something in the diary every day, or at least every week.
“Keeping a diary is one of my relaxations. If you want to write something, you’d better find a place where you feel relaxed, such as a teahouse or a cafe,” said Samuel.
41. In experts’ opinion, is keeping a diary helpful for health
___________________________________________________
42. If people keep a diary, why do they make fewer doctor visits
