“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”
51. The writer uses the quote(引言) at the beginning of the story to __________.
A. tell us a truth about our live B. tell us what life was like long time ago

D. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
52. In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions __________.
A. have speeded up our lives B. have improve the quality of our lives
C. may make people feel very happy D. may bring people some trouble
53. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because _________
A. they loved to live simple lives
B. they wanted to know how people lived withour modern inventions
C. they were troubled by modern inventions
D. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
54. According to the passage, which id 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

( D )
Professor Martin’s report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.
The Professor says, “It’s true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject.”
Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of 2 children, said, “I’ve never heard such rubbish, Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children who change school regularly---if they keep to the same system. In my experience----and I’ve known quite a few of them---- Army children are as well-adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn’t appear to notice is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than grown-ups.”
When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency (倾向). “Our finding shows that while the very bright child can deal with regular change without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.”
56. Professor Martin’s report suggests that _______.
A. it may not be good for children to change schools often
B. parents should not move often
C. more and more children are mentally affected
D. children will make rapid progress if they stay in one school.
57. According to the passage, Professor Martin’s personal feeling____ .
A. is the opposite of what his report has shown
B. is in a way supported by his research
C. has played a big part in his research
D. is based on his own experience as a child
58. From the passage, we can conclude that Captain Thomas’ children____.
A. have been affected by changing schools
B. have not been affected by changing schools
C. like every army school they have been in
D. are the brightest among the children who often change school
59. According to Professor Martin, ____ suffer from changing schools regularly.
A. non-army children B. bright children
C. the majority of children D. few children
60.Captain Thomas believes _____
A. army children are generally better—adjusted than any others
B. army children are usually less experienced than any others
C. children can adapt more easily and quickly than grown-ups
D. children can adapt as easily and quickly as grown-ups

“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”

Professor Martin’s report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.
The Professor says, “It’s true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject.”
Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of 2 children, said, “I’ve never heard such rubbish, Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children who change school regularly---if they keep to the same system. In my experience----and I’ve known quite a few of them---- Army children are as well-adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn’t appear to notice is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than grown-ups.”
When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency (倾向). “Our finding shows that while the very bright child can deal with regular change without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.”
56. Professor Martin’s report suggests that _______.
A. it may not be good for children to change schools often
B. parents should not move often
C. more and more children are mentally affected
D. children will make rapid progress if they stay in one school.
57. According to the passage, Professor Martin’s personal feeling____ .
A. is the opposite of what his report has shown
B. is in a way supported by his research
C. has played a big part in his research
D. is based on his own experience as a child
58. From the passage, we can conclude that Captain Thomas’ children____.
A. have been affected by changing schools
B. have not been affected by changing schools
C. like every army school they have been in
D. are the brightest among the children who often change school
59. According to Professor Martin, ____ suffer from changing schools regularly.
A. non-army children B. bright children
C. the majority of children D. few children
60.Captain Thomas believes _____
A. army children are generally better—adjusted than any others
B. army children are usually less experienced than any others
C. children can adapt more easily and quickly than grown-ups
D. children can adapt as easily and quickly as grown-ups
