Jack a football game on TV last night.

''Life is speeding up. Everyone is becoming unwell. ''This might sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unwell 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 development really improved the quality(质量)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 telephone 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. 

Inventions have speed up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed 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 that is 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 grandmother, with their daughter, and grandsons, Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone. 

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 smell of popcorn was in the air. I could hear kids laughing and shouting. People were everywhere!

My family and I walked around the amusement park, getting snacks and going on rides. I loved almost all types of rides. The o rides that I didn't like were rides that turn you upside-down. But my elder sister, Laura, loved them. When we finally were near a ride that went upside-down, she started asking me to go with her. I told her I didn't like those rides, but she kept asking b she really didn't want to go alone. I was feeling sympathy (同情)for her, so I stalled thinking that maybe I s go with her, even though I really don't like to go upside-down. I turned to my parents for h.

"Matt, you are allowed to stand up for yourself. If something makes you feel really uncomfortable, you can tell people n. It's OK to tell Laura that you love her, b that you can't go with her because going upside-down makes you uncomfortable. Be strong but kind when you tell her, so that she will k you're serious." Mom said.

"I don't want to make Laura mad or sad," I replied to Mom, "and I don't want her to think I'm being mean."

"There's a d between being aggressive (有攻击性的)and being assertive(坚决主张的). Saying 'no' doesn't mean you are willing to hurt her feelings. You're just listening to your own feelings to make sure you stay safe." Mom answered. "The s goes for Laura. If you ask her to arm wrestle (角力)and she doesn't feel comfortable, she's allowed to say 'no', too. We are all allowed to stand up for ourselves."

"Thanks, Mom." I said. I told Laura that I love her and like to do things with her, but that the upside-down rides make me uncomfortable because they scare me. She was sad, but went on the ride by h and was really happy when it was over. We had a great rest of the day at the amusement park!

clever boy Jimmy is!
