For years, the tiny Himalayan country of Bhutan has tried to measure “gross national happiness” to counter measures such as gross domestic product (GDP), arguing that such simple metrics don’t capture what is really meaningful to people.
Last year’s study showed that whereas rich people are happier on average than poor people, increasing GDP in a country doesn’t necessarily boost well-being. For instance, GDP tripled in the United States since the 1960s, yet well-being has stagnated.
To assess world happiness in the new study, the researchers analyzed happiness data starting from 2005. Most of the data came from the Gallup World Poll, which surveyed more than 150 countries around the world.
Scandinavian countries topped the list of happiest countries. The United States ranked the 17th, bested by Mexico, Panama and the United Arab Emirates.
On average, people in more than 150 countries rate their happiness as a 5.1 on a scale of 0 to 10. But happiness hasn't stayed constant over time:61 countries saw their happiness improve over the years, while 41 countries have become unhappier. Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America are becoming happier overall, while industrial nations report less well-being.
More than three-quarters of the differences in happiness scores were attributable to six key metrics: real GDP per capita, healthy life expectancy, someone to count on, perceived freedom to make life choices, freedom from corruption, and generosity.
The new data could help public policy-makers tweak their policies to impact those factors, such as cracking down on corruption, to boost people’s happiness. In addition, mental health problems such as clinical depression and anxiety have a huge impact on people's well-being. Yet mental health issues are often ignored by policy-makers，the study found.
"There is now a rising worldwide demand that policy be more closely aligned with what really matters to people as they themselves characterize their well-being," said study co-author Jeffery Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, in a statement.”More and more world leaders are talking about the importance of well-being as a guide for their nations and the world. The World Happiness Report offers rich evidence that the systematic measurement and analysis of happiness can teach us a lot about ways to improve the world’s well-being and sustainable development."
Happy citizens also make for better countries: The report found that happiness makes
for people who live longer, more productive lives, have higher earnings and are better citizens.
單選題第1題The World Happiness Report of the United Nations General Assembly did NOT ______.
A.analyze the factors of well-being
B.show people living in Scandinavia are happy
C.rank countries based on measures of well-being
D.indicate GDP is an important factor leading to happiness
參考答案：D
答案解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)選項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞定位原文第1段第2句，可排除A和C，由第1段第1句可以排除B。 D未提及，故選D。
單選題第2題It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Bhutan is a country ______.
A.with the highest GDP in the world,
B.with the lowest GDP in the world
C.where the government doesn’t attach much importance to GDP
D.where the people believe GDP is a key factor of well-being
參考答案：C
答案解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第2段，可知Bhutan （不丹）采用gross national happiness （國民幸福指數(shù)），而不用GDP （國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值），其原因是他們認(rèn)為GDP這樣的指標(biāo)并不能反映人民生活的真謗，故選C （政府并不重視國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值）。
單選題第3題The study made last year showed that ______.
A.the more GDP increases, the happier the country is
B.the more GDP increases, the less happier the country is
C.GDP has nothing to do with the well-being of the people
D.increasing GDP doesn't necessarily bring happiness to people
參考答案：D
答案解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第3段第1句， increasing GDP in a country doesn’t necessarily boost well-being （一國GDP之增長并不一定能提升幸福感），故選D （GDP的增長并不一定能為人民帶來幸福） 。
單選題第4題The word "stagnate" underlined in Paragraph 3 is synonymous to ______.
A.bog down
B.cut down
C.break down
D.lay down

A.ranked lower than the United States
B.ranked higher than the United States
C.ranked in the middle range
D.ranked higher than Scandinavian countries
參考答案：B
答案解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第5段第2句The United States ranked the 17th， bested by Mexico， Panama and the United Arab Emirates.此句中bested過去分詞作定語，修飾the United States。此題的核 心在于如何理解best這一單詞在上下文中的意義。 best一般作形容詞或副詞的最高級(jí)，意為“最好，最 佳”，而在此句中該單詞卻作動(dòng)詞，這種用法較為罕見。字典對(duì)該詞的解釋是“v. （usually passive） to defeat or be more successful than sb. （通常用于被動(dòng)）打��；勝過”，故選B （排名高于美國） 。

A.a scale of 0 to 5
B.a scale of 5 to 10
C.a scale of 0 to 10

答案解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第7段第1句，可知影響幸福感的6大主要指標(biāo)如下:人均GDP、健康預(yù)期壽命、有依靠的人、做出人生選擇的自由感、廉潔度、寬容度。將四個(gè)選項(xiàng)與上述指標(biāo)比對(duì)后可知， A （對(duì)腐敗的容忍度）與原文不符，故選A。

A.increase GDP
B.combat corruption
C.decrease GDP
D.boost corruption
參考答案：B
答案解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位第8段第1句，其中提到政策制定者通過反腐敗等方法提升人民的幸福感，故選B （反對(duì)腐�。� 。

的是大量的文獻(xiàn)和翔實(shí)的數(shù)據(jù)，而非個(gè)人想象或偏見。故選D （中立的，公正的） 。
