27、 Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except what makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a mistaken concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of common themes. Yes, there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the only measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
【1】Robert F.Kennedy is cited(引用)because he _______.
A.praised the UK for its GDP. B.identified GDP with happiness.
C.misinterpreted the role of GDP. D.had a low opinion of GDP.
【2】Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?
A.Its results are inspiring. B.It is sponsored by 163 countries.
C.Its criteria are questionable. D.It removes GDP as an indicator.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a country’s success?
A.Favorable. B.Indifferent.
C.Critical. D.Defensive.
28、 Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.
Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.
The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.
Three Square Market is the first company in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.
Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.
In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”
【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The substitutes of the chips.
B.The potential risks of implanting the chips.
C.The places to implant the chips.
D.The advantages of the chips.
【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.the hands B.the scanners
C.the employees D.the credit cards
【3】We can infer that ________.
A.the chips have magic powers
B.the price of the chips is reasonable
C.the chips are very popular among the employees
D.most people suspect the application of the chips
【4】Which of the following best describes Todd Westby’s attitude towards the chips?
A.Defensive. B.Disappointing.
C.Casual. D.Optimistic.
29、 Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty. Generosity and understanding.
【1】Some friendships don’t last very long because .
A.there are too many people who want to make friends.
B.they don’t know friendship is something serious
C.those who give others friendships receive friendships from others
D.those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others
【2】According to the passage, honesty is .
A.as important as money B.more important than anything else
C.something countable D.the base of a friendship
【3】Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?
A.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
B.Always tell your friend the truth.
C.Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D.Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
30、 Like millions of people around the world, I used to spend every December making a New Year’s resolution or two. However, by February, like clockwork, exactly ______ would be achieved.
When I was younger, this didn’t ______ me all that much. But in my 20s I realized that trying to keep a ______ New Year’s resolution was like writing a novel or climbing a mountain — it just wasn’t achievable.
So, ______ focusing on one large thing and giving up when I didn’t succeed, I decided to make a ________ of little things I wanted to work on during the year. So far this has ______ things like keeping my house a little bit ______, spending more time with my dog and even dropping a few pounds. My _________ has been to focus on taking small steps every day.
I’m now making ______ toward those goals without feeling ______ pressured or disappointed that I haven’t done more. Simple upgrades like wiping down my bathroom sink every day after ______ my makeup (化妆品) have become second ______ to me. While losing weight, I focus on cutting just a pound at a time.
I don’t even ______ these New Year’s resolutions, and that helps to make my small goals feel more achievable. They’re just little goals I’ve set to be happier and healthier over time. I also ________ myself once in a while along the way. For example, I ______ myself a new pair of sneakers when I ran three weeks out of the month. And then there’s the free time I naturally have in tidying the bathroom sink every day, which takes less time than a deep ______ on a Sunday.
