11、on of 1,200 messages-in-bottles over the course of nearly 4 decades and has responded to almost all of them,68-year-old Kruiswijk says that his unusual hobby began in 1983 when he found three drift bottles (漂流瓶) on his local beach, each containing letters and return addresses. He wrote to all three

12、addresses and was surprised to receive responses from each one. It was this experience that aroused his interest in hunting and collecting messages in bottles, and he hasnt stopped looking for them since.“I find my messages in bottles on the beach of Zandvoort, where I live, and on the Dutch Islands

13、,” Kruiswijk recently told Great Big Story. “Messages in bottles is slow mail. It takes you days, or weeks, or months to find a bottle. ”In the early years, Kruiswijk would find as many as 50 bottles a year, but since 2000 that has slowed to around 20-30 finds, mainly due to beach cleaning efforts.

14、He believes that the rise of the Internet has also played a role in the diminishing number of messages in bottles, telling Dutch news site PZC, “I used to get a response at half the bottle messages that I answered. Now thats less; many people want instant satisfaction.”Throwing a message in a bottle

15、 out into the sea is a longstanding human tradition dating back to the time of the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, about 310 BC，who used the bottles to study water currents.

They also have been used for memorial tributes, or to send loved ones ashes on a final journey. One of the more common uses though is just to send invitations out to pro

22、ose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the worlds elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters

23、 to track them down.

40、, its not even really about a diner the setting is New York Citys Toms Restaurant, which Vega frequented when she was studying at Bamard. Vega used the word “diner” instead because it “sings better that way,” she told The New York Times. November 18 has since been called Toms Diner Day, because on t

Well, there may be some truth t, according to that, according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

46、Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a persons perception of their age might influence their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.In

47、one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study inv

48、olving 4,421 men found that thise who became bald(秃顶)at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2,017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease. “We believe that th

49、e feelings associated with being older than ones real age account for some of these health outcomes,” the researchers wrote.The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early,

50、which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women. Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners, according to other studies.Taken together, the research “supports the general mind-body hypothesis(假说

51、)that when a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can accompany it.” While the mechanism remains unclear, the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have
