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 111countries uses data on incomes，health，unemployment,climate,political stability，job security,gender equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom，family and community 1ife” 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 0f 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．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 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 1ist 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

even intelligent people can fail
1 the striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how
often they failed．turn oil a light,take a photograph，watch tv，search the web，jet across the
pacific ocean．talk on a cellphone(手机)．the innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze(错综复杂)of wrong turns．
2 we have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of american innovator thomas edison’s
success in heating n thin line to white,hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in new jersey，us．he did that on october 22．1879．and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common
cardboard alight（点亮着的）in an airless space for 45 hours．three years later he went on to light 第一篇
two people，two paths
you must be familiar with the situation：dad’s driving，mum's telling him where to go．he’s sure that they need to turn 1eft．but she says it’s not for another two blocks．who has the better sense of direction？men or women?
they both do，a new study says．but in different ways．
men and women．canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way．men look quickly at landmarks f地标）and head off in what they think is the right direction women．however．try to picture the whole route in detail and then f01low the path in their head， “women tend to be more detailed．”said edward cornell，who led the study。“while men tend to be a little bit faster and…a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的）” in fact．said cornell．“sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two．
the first is the“survey method，’．this is when you see an area from above,such as a printed
map you can see．for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right the second skill is the“route method"this is when you use a series of directions．yon start from the hospital．then turn 1eft．turn right，go uphill—and then you see the supermarket．
men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route
and follow directions both work．and neither is better some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history．they argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles．
in ancient times．young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt the trip
took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places．the only way to know where you were was to
use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains．the 1akes and so on．
the women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants．these
activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths．so，women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes 31 when finding his way dad tends to rely on
a his intuitive knowledge
b his book knowledge．
c mum's assistance．
d the police’s assistance，
32 women are more likely to use
a 山e survey method
b the traditional method．
c the route method
d the right method．
33 which works better．the route method or the survey method?
a the survey method
b 111e route method．
c either．
d neither
34 which of the following is not a landmark?
a along river．
b a high mountain．
c a magnificent church
d a path in your head
35 women developed a sense of space out of the need a to go fishing．
b to go hunting．
c to learn well-used paths．
d to go swimming．
第二篇
dancing in the streets if there is one thing certain to get brazilians on their feet，it is the rio carnival（狂欢节）．
held in rio de janeiro．the country’s biggest city．the carnival began on february 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to rei momo—the lord of misrule（无序之皇) on his orders，each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music．the following six days are so fun of parades，street dancing，fantastic clothes and partying(聚会）that many people forget about eating and sleeping“it was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to brazil and made me settle down in rio．”said bob nadkarni．a british man who has lived in the city for several years for many brazilians．the centrepiece of the carnival is samba(桑巴舞)，a typical brazilian dance．every year，tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy iu the streets．
following the beat(节拍)of the latin music．the climax to this street party is the float（彩车）parade，in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city．on the top of each float stands the candidate for the drum queen，who is chosen at the end of the party．
while most people are free to enjoy the celebrations。rio’s police officers have to keep a clear head．following the murder of three offlcers in a gunfight early last week，the brazilian government has tightened security in rio．the street fighting，robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police．
carnivals began in ancient rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves,in honour of the city’s founder who was said to have been raised by a she—wolf．brazil gave new life to this tradition and so．despite the troubles．the carnival will remain a symbol of the country’s culture．
36 according to the passage．during the carnival people in rio did all of the following
except
A dancing in the streets．
B putting on colorful clothes
C eating a lot of food．
d holding exciting parades．
37how long does the carnival last?
a six days．
b a whole week．
c eight days
D the whole of february
38the word“centerpiece'’in the 3rd paragraph means
a the most important part．
b the middle part
c the central part of the city
d the most attractive decoration
39according to the passage，bob nadkami is
a a brazilian who has come back from britain．
b a british man who visits rio for the carnival．
c a british man who has come to live in brazil．
d a brazilian who is attracted by the carnival．
which of the following statements is incorrect?
a the earliest carnivals were held in ancient rome
b carnivals were originally a tradition of the brazilians
c carnivals were originally a tradition of the romans．
d the brazilians have integrated the roman carnival into their culture．
