The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older. Womens interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.Men start to change their focus from the workplace toother things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.The research used anonymous(匿名的) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, likes and interests they had posted on their profiles.It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31.Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19.Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38. And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for any audience is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they approach 60.Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, “Its almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of peoples typical interests.“People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.”21.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping.

She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes.

As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I cant finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what Ive found during this period!”The boys goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is forto cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what Ive found along the way!
