2523 years ag,bamb dragnfly was created(创造)by the Chinese.It has been a ty fr Chinese children fr mre than 2,000 years.It was intrduced t Eurpe in the 18th century,and Gerge Cayley,the Father f aviatin(航空) sad been fascinated by bamb dragnflies all his life.In his first aernautical research,he cpied and mdified the bamb dragnfly in the 1796 and figured ut hw prpellers(螺旋桨)wrk.His research helped with the develpment f airplanes.Nw,d yu believe?

Will future yu still be yu?It might seem like a strange philsphical(哲学的)questin.But the answer t hw yu think abut yur future self culd make the difference between decisins yu finally find satisfying(满意的)and nes yu might regret(后悔).
Brain imaging shws that when peple think abut their future selves,their brain patterns(模式)are similar t thse when they think abut strangers.This finding shws that,in the mind's eye,ur future selves lk like ther peple.If yu see future yu as a different persn,why shuld yu save mney,eat healthier r exercise mre t be gd fr that stranger?

Letter-writing and visualizatin(想象)exercises are just tw ways we can cnnect with ur future selves,but the larger lessn here is clear:If we can treat ur future selves as if they are peple we lve,care abut and want t supprt,we can start making chices fr them that imprve ur lives—bth tday and tmrrw.
