―Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.‖

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD（公元）53 wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this: You’re busy finishing 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 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 live simpler lives.

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 Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave（微波炉）, computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, ―The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.‖ The boys said they fought less because there was less to fight over(争夺), such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a ―trendy（赶时髦的）, beer-drinking granny‖ to one who cooked things.

A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier. B. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better. C. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house. D. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired. 65. The passage is mainly about ________.

Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what they will do in the future or as simple as what they will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.

I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3. Before I made that decision, I was one of the boys who tried too hard(努力) to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.

I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.

At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard. Mom smiled and asked again, ―I ask: what do you WANT to do?‖

I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent. ―Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,‖ she went on, ―it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.‖ After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.

For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become. It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.

The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion(激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Now I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best student in the class. Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.
