We all know the strange feeling of watching the time change on a clock. You never really see it change because the hands move so slowly. But, of course, the time is changing all the time.

Human faces, like clock faces, are also changing. And like clocks, the changes take place too slowly to be noticed. Over many thousands of years, though, huge changes are possible. For example, the human brain is three times as large as it was thousands of years ago. Our faces became fatter, and began to think more.

If our heads became larger in the past, how will things change in the future? Unlike the changes of a clock face, the changes in human faces are very difficult to predict(预测). One of the main reasons for this is the way in which we can now control parts of nature. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, all changes were natural, but now we can actively choose paths for our own evolution(进化).

A US artist named Nickolay Lamm has recently offered an idea. It is what human faces may one day look like. The designs, inspired（受启发)by his conversations with the scientist Alan, show humans with larger heads and eyes. In particular(特别的), Lamm predicts the forehead may be larger because of increasing usage of the brain.

Just a few hundred years ago, most humans were working in the fields. However, nowadays more and more people receive education. These are just predictions, and no one can be sure how human beings will become in the future. But with such huge changes in our environments, it seems likely(很可能)that we will not look the same in the future.

To me, the idea of home changes along with my age all the time.

In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to appear in front of my parents right after school. Instead, I often went to play with my classmates who lived in my neighborhood. We played until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper.”

Very soon, my childhood was gone. When I grew into a young man from a boy. Home became a place I tried to run away from.

As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small. And words of care from my parents became meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on my own green uniform. Home was the series of letters I received one after another.

When I got a job, I began to get ‘hurt’, to rise and fall in the sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house
