,Nowadays it is common to hear people remark that the pace of life today has speeded up, leaving us rushed off our feet. This unit looks at whether we have gained or lost from our fast pace of life and whether anything needs to be done about it. Some argue that the balance between work and leisure has titled too far in favor of work, leaving us little space to enjoy other pursuits and not enough time for family and friends. Do you think so?,The Pace of Life Project,Prof Richard Wiseman has announced the results of an international study in collaboration with the British Council to measure the speed of life. The experiment was conducted by British Council researchers who secretly timed thousands of pedestrians speed of walking in city centres across the globe, including London, Madrid, Singapore, and New York.,A study carried out in the early 1990s demonstrated that pedestrians speed of walking provides a reliable measure of the pace of life in a city, and that people in fast-moving cities are less likely to help others and have higher rates of coronary heart disease. Using identical methods to those employed in the previous work, the present day research teams discovered that the pace of life is now 10% faster than in the early 1990s. The biggest changes were found in the Far East, with the pace of life in Guangzhou (China) increasing by over 20%, and Singapore showing a 30% increase, resulting in it becoming the fastest moving city in the study.,在1990年代早期进行的一项研究中显示行人走路的速度,可以衡量一个城市生活节奏。另外人们生活在快节奏的城市很少会去帮助别人,并有较高比例的冠心病。使用相同的方法，研究小组发现,如今人类的生活节奏已经比1990年代早期提高10%的速度。最大的变化是发现在遥远的东方,生活节奏在广州(中国)以逐年20%的速度增长,新加坡则以30%的速度增长,导致它成为研究中生活节奏增长速度最快的城市。,Prof. Richard Wiseman said: This simple measurement provides a significant insight into the physical and social health of a city. The pace of life in our major cities is now much quicker than before. This increase in speed will affect more people than ever, because for the first time in history the majority of the worlds population are now living in urban centres.,理查德·怀斯曼教授说:这个简单的测量在衡量一个城市物理和社会健康上提供了的重要见解。我们现在城市的生活节奏现比以前快了很多。这种增长的速度将会影响更多的人,因为这是历史上第一次有那么多的人口住在城市中心。,Surprisingly, London ranked outside the top ten, suggesting that many in the capital prefer to live life in the slow lane compared to Copenhagen and Madrid who proved to be the fastest European cities, whilst the Middle East tended to have the slowest pace of life.,令人惊奇的是,伦敦排名在前十位之外,也就是说与哥本哈根和马德里那些被证明是欧洲生活节奏快的城市相比，很多人还是喜欢较慢的生活节奏,而中东往往有较慢的生活的节奏。,The fastest rhythm city in China 中国生活节奏最快的城市,香港,CommentsThe people in there always have a sense of urgency; Everyone has investment ideas; Artists always work instead of love and rest; Part-time job and charge is the two wings of wage-earning class; The type of fast food Newspaper is always the best selling.,评语：危机感长盛不衰；每个人都有投资观念；艺人们永远是为了工作而不敢恋爱和休息；兼职和充电是工薪族的两翼；快餐型报纸总是销量最大。,其他： 电视时间：守着电视的师奶居多，亚洲电视和无线电视的650万观众是港人无开销的休闲方式，但人们更多时候忙得只好在路上听广播，于是这个城市的电台多达13个。 快餐店：中国城市的中西快餐店数香港种类最齐全，麦当劳的广告也全年无休地做 步行速度：“动感之都”绝不是浪得虚名，交通绿灯时播送着马达的声音，每个路口总有一队人等着冲锋。 酒精度：除了兰桂坊，香港人的餐桌上几乎没有酒精度可言，只有麦芽度。 作息时间：朝九晚五，但“开OT”是香港人的口头禅，日均客流量230万人次的地铁每天从上午6时到午夜1时运行，夜店也是人潮汹涌。,上班时间逛街人气：行政效率居亚洲第二的城市很少人上班时间逛街，街上更多是内地游客。今年春节一周内，内地游客在港消费27亿。跳槽频率：香港不跳槽的是公务员。市民随时因为行业景气、公司裁员、增薪挖角而跳槽，18至24岁的年轻人创业率超过30%。身体运动量：运动量偏少，眼病腰病胃病多。手机通话状态：何时何地都可谈工作。婚恋状况：结婚人数大减，离婚高企，单亲家庭比十年前增加7成，趋势是女孩要同居、男孩想结婚；单身派对流行。,苏州,Comments: Foreign investment is the deadly attraction to the migrant workers , its workshop status in the world is ready to shake Dongguan and Shen zhen.
