They go into several countries and measure the pace of life. They measure the accuracy of bank clocks and how fast city dwellers walk. They time transactions in banks and post offices. They see how long people take to answer questions.Japanese keep the fastest pace. Americans are a close second. Italians and Indonesians are at the bottom of th e list. ……Finally, we look at heart disease. That's tricky, because other factors are involved. Our heart's greatest enemy is tobacco.

Compared with people’s life in ancient times, what have new technology, theinformation explosion and rising economy really brought to us?4 Background InformationRichard TomkinsRichard Tomkins, consumer industries editor of the Financial Times, where he has been a member of the editorial staff since 1983. (=Financial Times includes business and financial news and analysis. To know it better, log on the following website: /doc/4becb577bdeb19e8b8f67c1cfad6195f302be87d.html /home/europe （TechnologyMany historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increases geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive process.Stress in the WorkplaceThe problem of stress is not likely to go away. As the pace of change continues to increase, the demands upon us will also increase. We will have to make more decisions and make decisions faster; have to learn new skills, adapt to new situations, and cope with new threats. As a result we will find ourselves becoming more tired, making more mistakes, becoming more hostile, more anxious, more depressed, suffering more ill-health, and having more accidents.If we are to survive in an ever-accelerating world, it is imperative that we learn to cope with the increasing pressures of change. If we do not, breakdowns and burnouts will become the norm.Global Reading1.

Before Reading Global Reading Detailed Reading After Reading Suppleme Becomes a Terror Richard Tomkins Once upon a time, technology, we thought, would make our lives easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us, leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure. But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate: as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium. And as each invention arrives, it eats further into our time.

“You’ve got people retiring early, you’ve got the unemployed, you’ve got other people maybe only peripherally involved in the economy who don’t have this situation at all. If you’re unemployed, your problem is that you’ve got too much time, not too little.” Paul Edwards, chairman of the London-based Henley Centre forecasting group, points out that the feeling of pressures can also be exaggerated, or selfimposed imposed. “Everyone talks about it so much that about 50 percent of unemployed or retired people will tell you they never have enough time to get things done,” he says.
