   In a lot of ways life is easier right now than in any other time in history. We have computers,cell phones and many devices and machines that do some of our work for us. In another way,life is more chaotic now. In general,I think we have it easier than our ancestors did.

   We have more tools now than back then. LetJs say I want to make a 2,800 sq ft house today. With all the tools I have,it would take about 6 —8 months,but if you wanted to make one back then,it would take about 1. 5 —2 years. That is why life is easier.

   I think kids’ lives are too easy. They are simply lazy. All they do are text and complain. We’ve all heard the stories that our parents and grandparents would tell of how hard life was when they were young,having to walk to school,having to eat salt-pack food because there were no freezers,having to cover meat in lard in order to keep it from spoiling,having to milk the cow every morning for fresh milk to drink and/or having to travel by mule for days to get to the “market” to buy something they needed.

   Earlier,the kids used to die when common diseases like cholera,jaundice,etc. caught them. Now,we have medicines to treat them. So,modern life has expanded our life span. There are even medicines to treat great diseases,which helps to increase the life span of humans. Earlier people used to destroy the environment without knowing the consequences. But now we know the bad effects of it. So,today's life is much more easier and better.

                       Title： Life now is 1 than before.

   Recently,everything has been changed from the past including peopled behaviors and thoughts. People now do not know each other even if they are neighbors. Besides,people at present have many diseases which did not exist in the past. The air and environment surround people have several elements which have dangerous germs and chemical substances.

   In the past,people lived in small communities with a small number of populations. Everyone knew each other. In addition,if one had problems,all of his neighbors would help him. Also,if someone had a party,everyone would come,help him and celebrate together. But in these days no one cares about others even if they are their relatives or neighbors;they are busy all day,and they just think about themselves. Moreover,technology plays an important role in communicating and meeting other people,for example,when people want to talk with others,they just send a massage or call without visiting each other.

                                   Muzak 

      The next time you go into a bank,a store,or a supermarket,stop and listen. What do you hear? 1 It's similar to the music you listen to,but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you,or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you dont even realise the music is playing,but you react to the music anyway.

    Quiet background music used to be called “ elevator (電梯) music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places,and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every da. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time,with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning,and between three and four in the afternoon,when people are more tired. 2

     If you listen to Muzak carefully,you will probably recognise the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don5t want their songs to be used as Muzak,but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3 

    Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proved that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.

     5 They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another,Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

   A. Some people don't like Muzak.

   B. The music gives them extra energy.

   C. Music is playing in the background.

   D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.

   E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.

   F. They get as much as $ 4 million a year if their songs are used.

   G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

11. My glasses , I was a blind man,fell to the ground and broke.

   A. which         B. with which

   C. without that   D. without which
