　 Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013，and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer（暗淡）future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of The Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.

　 People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a‘quality-of-lif e’index(指数）where it is best to be born next year.

　 One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口学) social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with

Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.

　 Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the eurozone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies-Germany，France and Britain-do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羡慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.

56．According to the passage，the happiest people live in　　　 ·

　 A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria

57．The factors of telling the best place to be born don’t include　　　 ．

　 A. economy B. geography

58．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？

　 A. The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.

　 B. The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.

　 C. The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.

　 D. Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.

59．The purpose of the text is to show people　　　 ．

　 A. the best place to be born in 2013

　 B. a new study made by the EIU

　 C. the worst country to be born in 2013

　 D. the factors of measuring the best place to be born

阅读下面短文，用英语简要回答文后所给的5个问题。（回答时，每题不超过15个单词）

Each part of the United Kingdom has its own national flower．The national flower of Scotland is the Scottish bluebell．However, it is commonly though to be the thistle （ 蓟 ）, a thorny（ 带刺的 ） purple flower．

Well, so the story goes, a very long time ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland．The Scots, a brave people, loved their country．They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland．But there were too many of the Romans．It looked as if the Romans would win．

One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill．" We will rest here tonight, my men．" he said, " Tomorrow we will fight one more battle．We must win, or we will die．”

     They were all very tired．So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep．There were four guards on duty, but they were too tired, and one by one they fell asleep．

     The Romans were not asleep．Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill．Slowly they went up the hill．Closer they came to the sleeping Scots．They were almost at the top．A few minutes more the war would be over．

     Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle．He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots．In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle．The fighting was hard, but it did not last long．The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland．

     Since then the flower has become a national symbol （象征） ．Nowadays, the thistle is widely used to stand for the " Scottishness" of countless products, services, organizations, etc．and can be seen everywhere．
