The Benefits of Keeping a Journal

It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 2. But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible.
3. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes. You can use the ideas to push yourself forward.
It allows you to see the progress over time. After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. 4.
It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 5. In the end, you expand your ideas.
A.It aims to express your ideas.
B.I often experienced that myself.
C.And the raw ideas in the past might have been realized today.
D.It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned.
E.Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.

G.Keeping a journal has become a habit for me.
Research published in the journal High Temperature found that an hour-long soak in hot water produced similar blood sugar responses to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity.
Sound too good to be true? While the research on these effects is still initial (初步)，there is a plausible explanation for this.
"It seems that activities that increase heat shock proteins (热体克蛋) may help to improve blood sugar control and offer an alternative to exercise," the lead study author Steve Faulkner wrote. “These activities—such as soaking in a hot tub or taking a sauna (桑拿) — may have health benefits to people who are unable to exercise regularly. to an hour- long session of cycling or an hour-long session in a 40℃bath.
The scientists discovered that both groups were better able to control their blood sugar levels in the 24 hours following their soak were approximately 10 percent lower than those of the participants who exercised.
Researchers say this implies that “passive heating" (a means of rising your body temperature) could assist in lowering blood sugar levels. Passive heating can affect proteins in the body called heat shock proteins, which helps regulate blood sugar. People with diabetes (糖尿病) tend to have lower levels of heat shock proteins. Passive heating can raise these levels.
It's critical to point out a few limitations of the study. For starters, the experiment only monitored men, so it's difficult to say if the same effect would happen in women. It also only included 14 volunteers, which was an extremely small sample size. More research needs to be conducted before scientists can come to any official conclusion. And, of course, you should still continue exercising regularly.
That being said, the study does offer some more promising insights (见解) into the healing effects of hot water.
1.What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Strange. B.Ridiculous.
C.Reasonable. D.Confusing.
2.What can we know about the research by the U. K.'s team?
A.Cycling made no difference to blood sugar levels.
B.People with diabetes usually have higher levels of heat shock proteins.
C.14 lean and 14 overweight men were involved in the research.
D.A 24-hour tracking and monitoring was carried out after the one-hour activities.
3.How should scientists improve this study?
A.By extending the study period.
B.By changing the research method.
C.By including women in the research.
D.By adding more scientists involved in the investigation.
4.Which of the following best expresses the author's main point of view?
A.When you run a fever you get passive heating.
B.Passive heating can raise levels of heat shock proteins.
C.The research is of significance in spite of some imperfection.
D.You need either a hot bath or regular exercise to keep healthy.
