阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Cultures can be different from each other in many aspects. People can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages.
Some legends hold that (据说) thousands of years ago there was a single language spoken by everyone. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course.
Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that across cultures people can recognize three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear.
Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, it just makes sense. The value of “pi” is roughly 3.14159 no matter where you are. Similarly, we judge the value of something by the same mathematical calculations, no matter whether you’re counting in dollars, pounds or RMB.

A travel journal is one of the best ways to keep a long voyage in memory. Many details that don’t seem important while you are writing your travel journal often turn out to be so memorable.
Get into the habit of writing your travel journal every day. 1. You may promise yourself that you will write later, but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down what you have seen and heard. It doesn’t have to be long, just on a regular basis.
2.. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while you go traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, drying your laundry, or waiting in line.
At the beginning of your journal, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. 3.. Years later when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection. Memories of these feelings disappear quickly with time. 4..
5.. Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, tape the stubs（存根）to your journal.They are pieces of history from your journey. Years later you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a specific day and how much it cost.
A.Keep ticket stubs
B.Book your ticket in advance
C.These are the first details you tend to forget
D.You’d better write down as much as possible
E.Use your“down time”for your travel journal
F.When you are on a busy journey,it is easy to forget to write
G.Writing about those experiences while the memories are fresh is important.
The widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.
Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of China’s population. But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the elderly are deprived (被剥夺) of the digital benefits.
Many senior citizens who can’t use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (流行病). Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps. There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don’t know how to pay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash. Worse still, as they don’t know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places. Presenting individual health code is part of the epidemic prevention (防疫) and control measures
New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don’t live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones，either because of financial (财政的) problems or because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point. The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more obvious.
However, the senior citizens should not become a silent group deprived of digital benefits. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.
