23、Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which 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 flawed (有缺陷的) 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 sheds 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 rounded assessment of how countries are performing.

While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding 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 the environment.

This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole 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.

The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.

【1】Robert F. Kennedy is quoted 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】It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that   .

A. the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern

B. GDP as the measure of success is widely disapproved in the UK

C. the UK will contribute less to the world economy

D. policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about the recent annual study?

A. It is sponsored by 163 countries.   B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.

C. Its criteria are questionable.   D. Its results are enlightening.

【4】In the last two paragraphs，the author suggests that   .

A. the UK is preparing for an economic boom

B. high GDP foreshadows an economic decline

C. it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP

D. it requires caution to handle economic issues

【5】Which of the fallowing is the best title for the text?

A. High GDP But Inadequate Well-being, a UK Lesson

B. GDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic Health

C. Robert F. Kennedy, a Terminator of GDP

D. Brexit, the UK’s Gateway to Well-being

24、Tired of underpaid jobs and inconvenient hours, three entrepreneurial (富于企业家精神的) McLean teens decided to start their own company.

Their new company, TeenServ aims to solve teenage unemployment with a platform that matches students and community members who need short-term assistance with various tasks Through TeenServ, residents sign up to post jobs they need done. Teens signed up to work can choose to accept a job depending on their schedules and work preferences. Website users can pick up shifts wherever and whenever they want, making it convenient for hectic schedules.

A year ago, Jack Lannin, Quin Frew and Ben Jeannot worked as lifeguards at a local pool. Lanin told Tysons Reporter that they were upset when a pay change “almost cut their salary in half,” and they wanted to find another job but there were few options. Then they came up with the idea for TeenServ. “Aside from getting a real job, refereeing sports or yard work, there isn’t rally a good way to make money,” Lannin said, adding that even becoming a referee requires a significant sat-up cost for teens — around $70 — to pay for training and a uniform.

They started out by going door to door and asking community members if they would pay teens fair wages for short-term yard work. Soon enough,they began gathering opportunities. With help from an entrepreneurship class at McLean High School and feedback from teens, the students were able to turn their idea into a reality. So far, the website has employed more than 200 teens, according to Lannin. TeenServ pays students up to $18 per hour — well above Virginia’s minimum wage of $7.25.

The business is focused on mostly McLean for now, but TeenServ’s owners hope to expand around Fairfax County. That involves building up a base of teen workers before allowing residents to post jobs elsewhere in the county. After all, if residents need time-specific jobs done, they can’t be the ones waiting.

【1】What is TeenServ’s goal?

A．To increase the number of teen workers.

B．To help teens decide on their future career.

C．To encourage teens to start their own business.

D．To connect community employers to local teens.

【2】What does the underlined word “hectic” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Regular.

B．Flexible.

C．Traditional.

D．Busy.

【3】What problem did the three founders come across last year?

A．They failed to find a part-time job.

B．They received a significant pay cut.

C．They obtained little funding for their start-up.

D．They lost a game due to a referee’s unfair decision.

【4】What do the three owners plan to do?

A．Create more time-specific jobs.

B．Raise Virginia’s minimum wage.

C．Grow their business outside of McLean.

D．Allow McLean residents to post jobs elsewhere.

【5】What does the text focus on?

A．Three entrepreneurial McLean teens and their company TeenServ.

B．The main reasons of teenage unemployment in McLean.

C．The challenges three entrepreneurial McLean teens are facing.

D．The bright future of the platform TeenServ.
