They Say Ireland's the BestIreland is the best place in the world to live for2005，according to a life quality ranking(排名)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 of111countries uses data on incomes，health,unemployment, climate,political stability,job security，gender(性别)equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom,family and community life”.Despite the bad weather,troubled health service,traffic congestion(拥挤)，gender inequality,and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive8.33 points out of10.That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland,which managed8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and hunger，is rated the gloomiest(最差的),picking up only3.89points.“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,”the report said,“some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown 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.2on the list is Switzerland.The other nations in the top10are 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 after Luxembourg,took the13th place in the survey.China was in the lower half of the league at60th.1.For2,005years,Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.Level of education is a measure of life quality.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given《英语（二）》3.Cost of living in Ireland is pretty high.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.Breakdown in family values does not affect the happiness level.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.Ireland is positioned at No.1because it combines the most desirable elements of the new with some good elements of the old.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.Modernization does not necessarily contribute to high quality of life.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.Many people criticize the magazine's survey on life quality.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.To measure life quality is easy.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.The United States of America is among the top10countries.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11~15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项。
