Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.
Long ago, they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their cattle could feed, or to ________ from their enemies, or to find more favorable climates.
They traveled on foot.Their journeys were long, tiring and often dangerous.They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, keeping together.
Very soon they discovered easier ways of traveling.They rode on the backs of their tamed animals.They made boats out of tree trunks so as to travel across water.
Later they traveled, not for necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things.This is still the main reason why we travel today.
Traveling, of course, has now become a highly-organized business.There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet planes, all of which make traveling comfortable and safe.

The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan.But scientists know there are some patterns that almost all people share.Even if you’ve passed some of your“Best Times”, you still have others to experience in the future.Certain important ones seem to come later in life.
When are you smartest?
From 18-25, according to I.Q.scores; but you’re wiser and more experienced with increasing age.
You’re sharpest in your 20’s; around 30, memory begins to decline.But your I.Q.for other tasks climbs.Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college.At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21.
When are you happiest?
You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49.
Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 30, we believe that they’re behind us.A National Health Survey agrees:After age 30, we“become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself.If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, ________”.
When are you most creative?
Generally between 30 and 39, but the peaks(顶峰)varies with different jobs.
Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by age eight, and Mendelssohn composed his best known work A Midsummer Night’s Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.
Though the peak in most fields comes early―most Nobel prize winners did their top research in their late 20’s and 30’s―creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives.For the“well―conditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.
