     "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 lives. But have all these
developments really improved 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 happy do you feel?
      Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why
do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, 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 Thomans, 7, spent nine
weeks in a 1940s 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, beer-drinking granny, to one who
cooked things"

C. they were troubled by modern inventions

Thanks to improvements in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19th century. It's even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday. Here are five rules for a healthy life.
【小题1】
We all know that we shouldn't run across the road in front of the oncoming traffic, or cycle too close to cars. But we’re not sure about how to stay safe in the countryside. When you're out walking you should always go with someone. and tell your parents where you're planning to go. Remember! Climbing may also mean falling-what goes up must come down. Safety rules and advice are there to help you, not to make life less fun.
【小题2】
Sure, it's comfortable to sit on the couch and watch. But experts say you should walk at least 10,000 steps every day to keep fit. In the past, People's jobs required more physical effort. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?
【小题3】
It's important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables, and to see fast food or sweets as something very special- maybe just and then. The wrong diet means you'll put on weight, one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.
【小题4】
When we were babies, we slept for much of the day- if our parents were lucky! Teenagers don't need as much sleep but it's important to get about eight hours' sleep. At weekends, you've got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest, too.
【小题5】
Yes, you knew I was going to say this! But it's so important. More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers. Think about the effect on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.

A.Don't worry. Be happy!
B.Say no ... to smoking and drugs!
C.Be careful! It's dangerous out there!
D.Rest up while you can!
E. Watch your diet!
F. Don't be a couch potato!
