  Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly.Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour.Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed.Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending.Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks.

  All this saves timc, but at a prick.When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so.We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers.Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about.

  Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems.We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time.Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world.

  There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle.No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern.There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this.Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;:they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone.Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee.

China's major banks confirmed with Xinhua Monday that they will not attend the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-World Bank meeting that opens Tuesday in Tokyo.

The banks include the country's four state-owned banks -- the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agriculture Bank of China. The ICBC is the world's largest lender by market value.

The banks' decision was made after bilateral relations between China and Japan became strained, after the Japanese government announced its decision on September 10 to "purchase" the Diaoyu Islands, which are China's inherent territory, analysts said. Japan's move fueled anti-Japan protests in dozens of Chinese cities last month.

Damage to ties between the two Asian giants has been extensive. Trade, which reached a record of $342.9 billion last year, has been affected. Many academic conferences and cultural exchanges were canceled and airlines have canceled flights due to low seat occupancy rates.

The banks' decision is further evidence that the unilateral(单边的) actions by Japan is freezing bilateral(双边的) relations and now starting to weigh on the world's economy, said Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the International Trade and Economic Cooperation Institution under China's Ministry of Commerce.

The ties between the world's second- and third-largest economies will definitely undermine the global economic operation and policy co-ordinations. This is because the two nations together make up about one fifth of the world's economic output, Mei said.

The shaky global economy needs Japan and China to be fully engaged, said IMF's managing director Christine Lagarde. She warned that the world cannot afford the two countries to be in dispute.

The warning came as both the World Bank and Asian Development Bank slashed their growth estimates for the continent. The dispute between the two countries has also put regional supply chains at risk. Both China and Japan are important sources of semi-manufactured goods in Asia, said Zhang Mo'nan, a researcher at the State Information Center, a government think tank. The ripple effect will spread and put pressure on the world economy.
