In April 2020, the mother of two in New Jersey, started writing about the challenges of handling work, marriage and motherhood during a global crisis.Writing released emotions, but Peralte, now 46, wanted to know how other women were doing. So she made an unusual

She named the project The Traveling Diary.So many wanted to participate 22 Peralte decided to create a website () for people to add their names to the queue. She came up with a sys

Then she is responsible for mailing it to the next person.So far, more than 2,000 women from 30 countries 24 (participate). Of course, not all those entries could fit in just one journal.

19、utation: to some they are ill indications or something scary, to others they are dull in comparison to our well-loved butterflies. But moths are an essential part of a(n) 31 , and important food sources for species like birds and bats. And for me, moths are far from dull. My first meeting with an An
20、gle Shades moth was nearly a non-encounter. I almost passed by without noticing it, thinking it was a fallen leaf on a fence post. But there was something about it that stopped me in my tracks. Its angular shape perhaps? Or the way it sat, 32 , despite the breeze. Closer 33 revealed cream and buff s
21、hell-shaped wings, painted with triangles of light pink and brown. Suddenly, it transformed from a(n) 34 leaf into a living thing before my eyes. Ive been fascinated ever since.

22、lver birch (白桦树) leaf.

All of us are constantly making tricky choices between going further into familiar territory and 46 to expand our horizons. This is known as the exploration-exploitation trade-off.

28、 go far on the side of exploration, trying lots of new things because we have plenty of time to 47 later. But as we age, its often smarter to double down.Of course, this doesnt mean you shouldnt quit something just because youve put a lot of time into it. Economists call this the sunk cost fallacy (

35、the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.The woods where Ive parked my van have grown up between them.

I began to enjoy taking care of my immediate surroun
