　　解题思路

　　同意，快节奏的生活方式同时给个人，国家和全球带来的负面影响。 1. 个人层面：生活的加速会增大人们的压力，因为它破坏了生活的平衡。举例，飞机大大加速了人们的出行，但是也带来了更高的工作预期和更紧凑的时间计划。在太多例子中，企业员工被要求在早上乘坐飞机抵达另一个州，甚至是国家，来参加会议和谈判，然后又搭乘午夜的航班飞回家，中间没有任何的休息时间。结果是，人们会感觉筋疲力尽，喘不过气。 2. 国际层面：快速的运输和通讯系统的建立会进一步破坏环境。举例，飞机的频繁使用会排放大量的尾气。同样的，为了满足无线通讯的需求，如手机，数不清的基站被建立在山区和森林里，这破坏了生态圈。 3. 国家层面：便利的旅游和通讯会破坏一个国家的文化。举例，飞机增强了国家之间的联系，如贸易和旅游，但这也把国外文化引进到国内，这会导致文化竞争，并很有可能杀死本土文化。同样的，互联网的兴旺也把人们暴露在一个全球的流行文化之下，如流行音乐，电影，游戏，这让年轻人失去对于本国文化的兴趣。

　　范文

　　Presently, modern technologies have dramatically speeded up people’s traveling and communication. Some people refute that there are many negative consequences of this trend, personally, nationally, and globally. I strongly concur with this view, and my reasons will be listed in the essay. Firstly, on the personal level, an accelerated life pace make individuals stressful, because it breaks the balance between working and living. For example, airplanes, the fastest transportation nowadays, can largely shorten the time of people’s long-distant traveling, while its high efficiency also causes higher work expectancy and tighter work schedule. For example, in a single day, a manager of multi-national companies is asked to take plane to go for a meeting in another region or country far away in the morning, and fly back to the home at night. This fast and exhausting lifestyle not only damages people’s health, but also alienates them from families, because of the lack of time spent on exercise, rest, or dinners with the spouse and children. In addition, on the international level, fast systems of global transportation and communication worse the environment. For one thing, an increasing number of cross-border air flights mean more fossil oil is burned and more waste gas is emitted, such as smog. As a result, this kind of discharge further deteriorates the global warming. Similarly, for the purpose of building up a modern seamless communication system for cell phones and the Internet, new base stations are installed in mountains and forests, and new cable ropes are buried under the seabed. These constructions make an overall destruction to the global ecosystem, thus leading to the extinction of species. Finally, on the national level, the thriving of fast long-distant traveling and communication would destroy cultural identities of a country. For example, fast airplanes bring more foreigners to a region or a country for cross-border meetings and tours. In order to meet the needs and tastes of these new comers, local old buildings are replaced by modern skyscrapers, and traditional cuisines are replaced by western fast food like McDonald. In other words, under the influence of the Internet which plays a role of cultural invader, people will lose the interests and respects in their local culture. In conclusion, adverse impacts of a fast-paced world are undeniable, including an unbalanced lifestyle, pressing environmental problems, and the extermination of a local culture.(390字)
