　　The Life in Ireland

　　Ireland is the best place in the world to live in 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 flying, 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 I ife."

　　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 U.K. is positioned at No.29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics.

　　The U.S., which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均國內生產(chǎn)總值 ) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

　　2017年職稱英語試題《理工C》閱讀判斷專項練習第二篇試題解析

　　1.B。題干：在長達2005年里，愛爾蘭一直是世界上最適合人類居住的地方。用數(shù)字“2005”定位，文章首句有相關信息，但首句卻說的是“愛爾蘭是2005年最適合居住的地方。”故選B。

　　2.C。題干：工作安全對生活質量來講是最不重要的衡量標準。用中心詞“job security”回到原文定位，文章第三段提到了工作穩(wěn)定，但是沒有說工作穩(wěn)定是生活質量中最不重要的衡量標準。因此選擇C。

　　3.A。題干：愛爾蘭的生活成本很高。由中心詞“the high cost ofliving”(很高的生活費用)回到原文定位，這一信息可以在第四段中找到。信息吻合，因此選擇A。

　　4.C。題干：津巴布韋的家庭生活不穩(wěn)定。由專有名詞Zimbabwe(津巴布韋)回到文章定位。文章并沒有提到津巴布韋家庭生活是否穩(wěn)定，故選擇C。

　　5.A。題干：愛爾蘭位于第一位是因為它把新時期最佳的成分和一些好的傳統(tǒng)結合在一起。由邏輯關系詞because定位，這一信息可以從第六段中找到，說的是“愛爾蘭位居榜首是因為它把新時期最佳的成分和一些好的傳統(tǒng)結合在一起”，與題干信息是一致的，因此選擇A。

　　6.B。題干：生活質量的測量很容易。由題干關鍵詞回到原文定位，第七段有相關信息：“該雜志承認評價生活質量不是一件簡單的事。”題干內容與原文信息不一致，因此選擇B。

　　7.B。題干：美國是位于前10的國家。由專有名詞“The United States”和數(shù)字10回到原文定位，有關此信息可以在最后一段找到。題干說的是“美國在前10名”，原文說它排在第13名，因此選擇B。
