Life is speeding up (加速). 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 (品质) 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 lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have sped up our lives so much that we often live feeling stressed (有压力的) 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 Thomas, 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 (时髦的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things”.The writer uses the quote (引用) at the beginning of the story to _________.
| A．tell us a truth about our life |
| B．tell us what life was like long time ago |
| C．point our what causes such a thing to happen |
| D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same |

| A．have speeded up our lives |

| C．may make people feel very happy |

| B．they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions |
| C．they were troubled by modern inventions |
| D．living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them |
According to the passage, which is NOT right?
| 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. |

Have you ever thought of owning a garden of yours? It must be a very nice experience for you !
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots of the plants, but don't water too much.
Tall plants need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they'll fall over. For example, when your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it's time to push a long stick into the gronnd next to each plant.
If' you have planted seeds(种子) , you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow.
If you've planted lettuce seeds, wait until the baby plants are about l. 5 inches tall. Then, pull some of the plants out so that you leave 8 inches between plants.
Now that you've done all the work, it's time to enjoy what you've got. Pick a red tomato. Eat it while it's still warm from the sun. Or cut it up and put it in a salad. If you have more vegetables from your garden than you and your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to share the joy you get from your garden with others.
So you can see, work will always make you happy.
