听力原文：     This is the BBC, from London. Here is the news at ten.     South Korea has the most effective education system in the world's richest countries, with Japan in second place and the United States and Germany near the bottom, a United Nations study said Tuesday. The ranking provides the comparison of the relative effectiveness of education systems across the developed world.     The study is based not on how many students reach what level of education, but on testing what pupils actually know and what they are able to do, including their abilities in reading, math and science.     Germany, with its strong educational tradition, occupies 19th place out of the 21 nations, just behind the United States in 18th place.     An American government official said. “Our schools are simply not good enough and they don't compare well with systems in other countries.” “It is clear that educational disadvantage is born not at school but in the home.” said the report. “Learning begins at birth and is encouraged by a loving, stimulating environment.”     (Now listen again. please.) Questions: 1. What is this news mainly about?     2．Which of the following countries has the best education system?     3．What is the study based on?
