They Say Ireland’s the Best
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 1ast 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(拥挤)，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. 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(崩溃)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 1ife.”
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(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg，took the 13th place in the survey．China was in the lower half of the league at 60th．
16  For 2,005 years，Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.
A Right
B Wrong   
C Not mentioned
17 Job security is the least important measure of life quality．
A Right   
B Wrong   
C Not mentioned
18 Cost of living in Ireland is pretty high．
A Right   
B Wrong   
C Not mentioned
19 Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable．
A Right   
B Wrong   
C Not mentioned
20 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
21 To measure life quality is easy．
A Right   
B Wrong   
C Not mentioned
22 The United States of America is among the top 10 countries.
A Right   
B Wrong   
C Not mentioned

Estee Lauder Died

3   Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz，a chemist，to beauty salons(美容院)and hotels. In 1930，she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder，took off after World War II．
4   In 1953，the company introduced its first perfume(香水)，Youth Dew，the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70．They include：Aramis，a line of products for men，launched in 1964；and Clinique，a range of odourless(无嗅的)cosmetics, which followed in 1968.
5   By the time she retired in 1995，Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise,

6   Even after her retirement at the age of 89，Lauder remained closely involved．Beauty, Lauder believed，was the most important thing in life．
7   She wrote in her 1985 autobiography,“Estee，a Success Story”：“In a perfect world, we’d all be judged on the sweetness of our souls . But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and，usually，the last word.”

第一篇
Storms Sink Ships
Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country.
The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.
One of the ferries, MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said The second ferry carried about 100 passengers．
“The number of deaths is certain to rise,”said an official in charge of the rescue work.“No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived．”
Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board.
Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats．
Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents．Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people．
Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.
Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s waterways(水路)every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded(过度拥挤)．
 Since1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．
31 How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters?
A  More than 130.
B  Over 3,000．
C  About400．
D  At least 40.
32 The two ferry disasters occurred
A  at noon．
B  in the morning.
C  at night．
D  in the afternoon．
33 How many passengers was MV Mitali designed to carry?
A 440．
B 100.
C 400.
D 300．
34 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the boating accidents?
A  Strong winds．
B  Bad weather conditions．
C  Blockage of waterways．
D Lack of safety measures.
