I played a lot, and then I started school.  I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There
were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn't.
     In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn't
have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs.
The summer of my life passed quickly.
     Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer.
My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly.
     One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees
change colour and give us delicious fruits.
     But the days kept getting shorter and colder.

“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 53 wrote it．

　　We all love new inventions．They are exciting，amazing and can even change our life．

　　But have all these developments really improved the quality of our life?

　　Picture this．You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer．Your mobile phone rings，a QQ message from your friends appears on the screen，the noise from the television is getting louder and louder． Suddenly the computer goes black 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 life so much that they often leave up feeling stressed(紧张的) and tired．Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities，who have no telephones，no cars，even no electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live 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 Thomas，7, spent nine weeks in a l940s house．They had no washing machine，microwave，computer or mobile phones．

　　The grandmother，Lyn，said，“The more things you have，the more difficult life becomes．”The boys said they fought less．Probably，they said，because there was less to fight over，such as their computer．Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy(新潮人物)，beer-drinking granny，to one who cooked things．
