of thousands of people tried to do this, even though the news came on the morning of April 1st.
While many of these jokes are limited to one country, Google went global with its first April Fool’s joke in 2000. They said that you could use your mind to control the search engine. The Mental Plex could read your mind to know what you wanted to search for! Another Google April Fool’s joke was Gmail Motion, which was introduced on You Tube on 1st April 2011. They said that because of a new technology, you could now control emails with your body. For example, pointing your thumbs(拇指) backwards over your shoulders would signal ‘reply all’. As people were already familiar with games which are controlled by body movements, Gmail Motion seemed quite believable.
We may all like to think that we couldn’t be fooled by tricks like these. But, be careful, next year’s April Fool just might be you!

The Benefits of Keeping a Journal
If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journal for years. Writing all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 36
Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
lt prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 37 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer. I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
It helps you review all the lessons you've learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 38 You can use the ideas to push yourself forward.
39 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. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
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. 40 In the end, you will expand your ideas. A. I often experienced that myself. B. It trains you to express your thoughts C. It allows you to see your progress over time. D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with
E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to anther idea
