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 sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eeded 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 cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier Perhaps because they live simpler lives.
One family in the U ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )K 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（微波炉）, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 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（赶时髦的）, beer-drinking granny”, to one who cooked things.

With his books in his bag, 13-year-old James Mwangi was on his way to school, the Mcedo-Beijing school in a slum（贫民窟）in Kenyan capital of Nairobi(肯尼亚首都内罗华). This school was built in 2001 with the help of China, for children from poor families.
After gettin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g to school, Mwangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that students in this school prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes.
