In this book the writer describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry.In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical(典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Uncles and aunts often lived nearby, too. But now, when industry has become more important than agriculture(农业) in American life, families are becoming smaller and smaller. Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land to move again whenever necessary. Large families can’t be moved from place to place as easily as smaller families can.In the future, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller .The typical family may keep childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A smaller number of families may raise(养育) children. These families may raise children as their main occupation, leaving the childless families free to move from job to job. What’s more, these child -raising families may raise other people’s children in addition to their own. The book 76Future Shock77Alvin Toffler Content(内容):78 life has been changing greatly in America.

Here is how it happens.1. Preparing too much before travellingSome people, especially females, like to travel as if starting a new life. Several weeks before the trip, they would be busy shopping for new dresses, better sunglasses and best-selling books. They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things. Just travelling? Attending a fashion show more like it. They care more about their appearance than the sights they see during the trip.2. Following other travellers blindlyThey can't stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use. For example, we can find a group of travellers "getting ahead" to buy "Christmas" presents even in summer.3. Replacing things that are forgotten to bringThey don't remember to bring things like trainers, cool bags, toothbrushes or beach towels.

Slow living makes us live more healthily. Here are some easy tips for slowing down everyday life.l. Don't do things we don't want to and can't do.We all have habits. But we really don't have to do those things, such as shopping, watching TV, surfing the Internet, smoking. We can save time and money by cutting these out, and many of these habits are also bad for our health.2. Do one thing at a time.We feel nervous when we have too many tasks, and the day rushes by when we do them. If we drive, then we should just drive: no phone calls, no learning another language, no planning andthinking. Instead, we can enjoy driving: listening to the motor and looking out of the window.3. Choose lighter and slower rings and music a round us.Have you ever noticed how stressful your ringing phone is?Try to use a different ring tone and life will be happier. Relaxing music and soft music always help between busy meetings and during short d rives from one busy place to another.4. Enjoy details.Use waiting time, not for hard thinking, but just watch and enjoy details. Have you noticed how beautifully the rain dances on the window of your car? And how things look in the mirror at a traffic jam? When was the last time you smelled the roses? When was the last time you were all dining at the table together without mobile phones?Slow living can give us a longer, better and 76 life.Four 77 for slowing down everyday life * Don't do things we don't want to and can't do.We needn't do the 78 like shopping and watching TV.If we 79 the bad habits out, we can save time and money.* Do one thing at a time.Too many tasks 80 us feel nervous.We just drive 81 making phone calls or learning another language. * Choose lighter and 82 rings and music around us.
