“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead a simpler life.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they found less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（時髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”
Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.
Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
Don’t worry too much about life—laugh more.

When I was little, my family used to move frequently．Before I could even get 1 with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again．I became very 2 because of this．
But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair 3 me．Her best characteristics are her openness and 4 ．She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun．Without 5 I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends．As time went by, I gradually became a 6 girl．But this joyful period didn’t last long．We were admitted to different colleges．I felt like I had gone 7 to my always-on-the-move childhood．I felt 8 and helpless and I was afraid that I would 9 her as my best friend．She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so 10 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever．” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great 11 she was to me at that time．
However, it turned out that my 12 were well-founded （有根據的）．I felt that the 13 between us was getting bigger and bigger．One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class．
