　　They Say Ireland's the Best

　　Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week.

　　The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.

　　The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life".

　　Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (擁擠), gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.

　　That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest (最差的), picking up only 3.89 points.

　　"Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued," the report said, "some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown (崩潰) in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact."

　　"Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life."

　　The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do，and that its findings would have their critics.

　　No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.

　　The UK is positioned at No. 29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.For 2,005.

　　1 Years, Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.

　　A Right

　　B Wrong

　　C Not mentioned

　　2 Job security is the least important measure of life quality.

　　C Not mentioned

　　3 Costs Of Living in Ireland is pretty high.

　　4 Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.

　　5 Ireland is positioned at No. 1 because it combines the most desirable elements of the new with some good elements of the old.

　　A Right

　　B Wrong

　　C Not mentioned

　　6 To measure life quality is easy.

　　A Right

　　B Wrong

　　C Not mentioned

　　7 The United States of America is among the top 10 countries.

　　A Right

　　C Not mentioned

　　概括大意

　　Architecture

　　Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed word. The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects， but as documents of the history of cultures. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art.

　　The renaissance brought about an entirely new age， not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture， the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted. They remain dominant until the 20th century.

　　Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure. Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined， however， because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.

　　The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of building. More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping centers， send their children to many different kinds of schools， and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All theses different types of buildings accumulated experiences needed by their designers.

　　By the middle of the 20th century， modern architecture， which was influenced by new technology and mass production， was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete. Advances in elevator technology， air conditioning， and electric lighting have all had important effects.

　　EXERCISE：

　　1. Paragraph 2_____________.

　　2. Paragraph 3_____________.

　　3. Paragraph 4_____________.

　　4. Paragraph 5_____________.

　　A Building materials

　　B Need of greater building varieties in modern life

　　C Restoration of ancient civilizations

　　D Evolution in style

　　E factors affecting modern architecture

　　F A social art

　　e so well constructed that they are not only useful______.

　　6.Ancient Greek and Roman architectural styles， which were restored during renaissance， were still influential _____.

　　7. As modern life becomes more complex， people have to put up many different kinds of buildings _____.

　　8. The use of new building materials and the introduction of such new technology as the elevator and the air-conditioner have played an important role ______.

　　A to meet their needs

　　B but also beautiful to look at

　　C in the development of modern architecture

　　D to design more buildings

　　E even in the 20th century

　　F to outlast their original use

　　David Jones and His Salary

　　Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.

　　The 16-year-old works for a small firm In Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the home computer market each month.

　　But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned buy inventing new programs, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, buy a house, or obtain credit cards.

　　He lives with his parents in Liverpool. His company has to pay ￡150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.

　　David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said.

　　"I suppose ￡35,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that his year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother ￡20 a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.

　　"unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."

　　David added: "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."

　　Exercise：

　　1. Why is David different from other young people of his age?

　　A) Because he earns an extremely high salary.

　　B) Because he is not unemployed.

　　C) Because he does not go out much.

　　D) Because he lives at home with his parents.

　　2. David's greatest problem is

　　A) finding a bank that will treat him as an adult.

　　B) inventing computer games.

　　C) spending his salary.

　　D) learning to drive.

　　3. He was employed by the company because

　　A) he had worked in a computer shop.

　　B) he had written some computer programs.

　　C) he had worked very hard.

　　D) he had learned to use computers at school.

　　4. He left school because

　　A) he did not enjoy school

　　B) he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.

　　C) he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.

　　D) he wanted to earn a lot of money.

　　5. Why does David think he might retire early?

　　A) Because you have to be young to write computer programs.

　　B) Because he wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.

　　C) Because he thinks computer games might not always sell so well.

　　D) Because he thinks his firm might go bankrupt.

If the shop has it in stock, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones __53__.

Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected __63__. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another __64__ selecting the dresses she wants to try on.
