本题为老GRE的ISSUE58原题。题目讨论快节奏对生活的影响,题目分为两部分——前半部分是中性命题(生活节奏越来越快);后半部分指出快节奏的负面作用,是大家很常见的话题,而且难度不大。大多数同学都采用平衡观点,对快节奏的正负面作用都进行论述,应当注意的是要避免喊假大空的口号,要言之有物。
1. 现代生活节奏的加快能够表现在哪些方面?和以前相比有了哪些不同?请举例并简述。
回答:
汽车,互联网,洗衣机,电子邮件,手机,快递,效率更高,更加便利
2. 过去的生活中因为慢节奏而引发了哪些问题?这些问题有多少被越来越快的生活节奏解决了?如果生活节奏不加快,这些问题会不会也同样会被解决?请结合具体事例简述。
回答:
以前家庭主妇,在家里洗个衣服,做个饭,整理屋子的时间可能足足需要一个上午,很可能耽误因为清理这些琐事而耽误工作。但是现在,有了洗衣机,吸尘器,抽油烟机,微波炉种种问题可以在分分钟内搞定,这样,家庭主妇,琐事和工作两不误,效率得到了很大提高,如果没有这些科技工具,很难想象主妇们还要经过多少费时的清理工作,
3. 现在的生活中都存在哪些问题?哪些是直接由快节奏生活引发的?如果人们的生活节奏不加快,这些问题是否同样存在?
回答:
环境问题,汽车尾气排放,垃圾邮件的侵袭,网络咋骗,犯罪的加剧;快递员私吞快递,手机辐射对于公众健康的影响

Stress is a necessary and unavoidable concomitant of daily living-necessary
because without some stress we would be listless and apathetic creatures, and
unvoidable because it relates to any external event, be it pleasurable or
anxiety-producing.Severe stress has been correlated with coronary disease,
respriratory problems, backaches, high pressure and other psychosomatic
illnesss, to the extent that for most people stress is a loaded term that
connotes unhealthy or harmful conditions, i.e. a disease or illness. In truth,
however, stress can also motivate and invigorate and enable people to achieve
far more that they thought themselves capable of doing.
High stress jobs can lead to more burnout than normal ones.Taxicab
drivers,law enforcement personnet,air traffic controllers, musicians, teachers,
lawyers, emergency service workers and high technology professional seem more
prone to burnout than others. General practitioners seem to have the highest
proportion of bornout cases.
