Question

【题目】 Is modern life moving too fast? Do you feel as if you are running hard, but staying in the same place? Well, you are not alone. According to a recent study, 78% of the young people say the “sped-up"pace(节 奏）of modern life is making them feel really tired.

Rapid changes in technology and society are the main causes of the problem. And the continuous bombardment(轰炸）of information can be another cause. With everyone connected by smart phones, young people can easily learn about the newest, the latest and the coolest things happening around them. No one wants to miss a hot topic. And with all the videos, games and messages they get from smart phones, they feel uncomfortable when it's quiet-so boring!

Is there a way to help stop the“sped-up”life? Yes, there is. Turn off your smart phone! Staying away from your phone for a few hours each day will put you back in control of your life. Even Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were worried about the influences of the technologies they had created. They didn't allow their own kids to use the smart phones and the Internet for too long.

As human beings, we are not supposed to be stimulated(刺激）all the time. It can even both our physical and mental health. So, slow down to visit a park, read a book and take up a hobby. It's a little bit hard at first and you have to make a great effort, but it's you who can take control of your time and life, isn't it?
