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 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 (人均國內生產總值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half the league at 60th.

閱讀判斷解析及參考答案：
1. B. 分析： 問題句說“在2005年的時間里，愛爾蘭一直是最適合人類居住的地方。” 句子中的時間狀語結構恰恰就是我們所說的一種可作為線索的.特征結構（因為數字容易在文章中被查找到）， 我們利用2,005作為答案線索，這樣在文章中找到答案相關句：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.劃線結構中提到的是“for 2005（對2005年而言）”， 不是問題句中說的“For 2,005 years（在2005年的時間里）”， 而且劃線結構說“愛爾蘭是2005年世界上最適合居住的地方” ， 顯然這個內容與問題句的內容不一致， 因此判斷問題句的說法錯誤。
2． C. 分析：問題句說“職業穩定是衡量生活質量的最不重要的標準。”利用題干中出現的核心短語“（主語）Job security/職業穩定”和“（表語）life quality/生活質量”作為答案線索，同時關注題干中出現的修飾結構“the least important/最不重要的”， 這樣找到答案相關句。
