How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leaves us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people

25、 who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead 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

26、daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the mo

30、er common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”.In order to seek be

31、tter chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay wit

32、h them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessa

33、rily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time to their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “Distant Paren

34、t Phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries.

38、ases.Since the 1980s, scientists have unlocked the secrets of DNA to help uncover the mysteries of life be it in the human, plant, or animal kingdom. In these modern times, the applications of DNA testing continue to expand and grow despite being met with controversial issues along the way.One of th

39、e most widely known uses of DNA testing perhaps, is its application in solving police crimes and body identification as popularized by television and the movies. Through a series of lab tests, forensic psychologists try to match blood, saliva, or hair to suspected criminals and to help identify a de

40、ad body. DNA testing has proven to be invaluable in investigating criminal cases such as rape and murder. But most importantly, DNA testing is not just being used to sentence criminals. It has also exposed the limitations of the justice system by helping to exonerate individuals who have been wrongf

41、ully convicted.DNA testing has come a long way from being used just for purposes of identification. The scope of its benefits has reached far beyond the study of the human evolution. Researchers from every field are using it to develop scientific and medical processes that could further improve not

42、just the living condition of the human species, but plants and animals as well. With all the exciting possibilities that it offers, DNA testing might be our one existing hope to help humankind find the means in achieving a balance the secret of existing in harmony with nature.
