Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time and be more relaxed. But sadly this hasn’t happened. Today we work harder, work longer hours and are more stressed than ten years ago. We walk faster, talk faster and sleep less, than previous generations. And although we are obsessed (преследовать, овладевать) with machines, which save us time, we have less free time, than our parents and grandparents had. But what is this doing to our health? An American journalist James Gleick in a new book “Faster: the Acceleration (ускорение) of just about everything”, says that people who live in cities are suffering from “ hurry sickness ” (болезнь вечно спешить) – we are always trying to do more things in less time. As a result, our lives are more stressful. He says, that if we don’t slow down (жить спокойно), we won’t live as long as our parents. For most people, faster doesn’t mean better.
Cross out the wrong word.
According to James Gleick, today we…
1. work longer/shorter hours
2. have more/less free time
3. talk faster/more slowly
4. are more relaxed/less relaxed
5. will probably have shorter/longer lives than our parents
