Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005, 【1】 a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’’s Economist magazine last week. The ambitious 【2】 to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only 【3】 of human satisfaction and well-being. The index of 111 countries uses 【4】 on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security equality between men and women as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life". Despite the bad weather troubled health service, traffic problems, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points 【5】 10. That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe (津巴布韦) , troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the lowest, 【6】 only 3.89 points. "Although rising incomes and increased individual choices in developed countries are 【7】 valued," the report said, "some of the factors associated with 【8】 such as the breakdown 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—the fourth highest gross domestic product per head in the world in 2005, low unemployment, political 【9】 —with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as 【10】 family and community life.

It’s the most romantic day of the year, but for many people the cards they receive on February 14 are not from a Valentine, but from themselves. One in nine love missives received on Valentine’s Day were sent by people to themselves "to save face on the dreaded V-day," according to a survey released by online retailer amazon. co. uk. Amazon, which questioned more than 1,000 people in Britain, France and Germany, also found one in three cards was received by a parent and one person in 10 admitted to stealing a card from a sibling or housemate. Amazon said Germans were the least romantic, with 69 percent saying Valentine’s Day was unimportant, compared to 54 percent of Britons and 46 percent of French. Germans were also the most likely to forget to give their partners a present while the French spent the most on their loved ones. One in three French lovers splashed out be tween ＄42 and ＄84 on a gift, and 11 percent spent more than ＄84. The most common romantic gift in Britain and Germany was flowers. The French were more likely to opt for a romantic dinner. How did the 1/10 of the persons get the cards on that day
Our memories are our most important properties in that ______.
Researchers investigating brain size and mental ability say their work offers evidence that education protects the mind from the brain’s physical deterioration.(61) It is known that the brain shrinks as the body ages, but the effects on mental ability are different from person to person. Interestingly, in a study of elderly men and women, those who had more education actually had more brain shrinkage."That may seem like bad news," said study author Dr. Edward Coffey, a professor of psychiatry and of neurology at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit. (62) However, he explained, the finding suggests that education allows people to withstand more brain tissue loss before their mental functioning begins to break down.The study, published in the July issue of Neurology, is the first to provide biological evidence to support a concept called the "reserve" hypothesis, according to the researchers. In recent years, investigators have developed the idea that people who are more educated have greater cognitive reserves to draw upon as the brain ages; in essence, they have more brain tissue to spare.(63) Examining brain scans(脑部扫描的X光片) of 320 healthy men and women aged 66 to 90, researchers found that for each year of education the subjects had, there was greater shrink age of the outer layer of the brain known as the cortex(脑皮层). Yet on tests of cognition and memory, all participants scored in the range indicating normal."Everyone has some degree of brain shrinkage," Coffey said. "People lose (on average) 2.5 percent per decade starting in adulthood."There is, however, a "remarkable range" of shrinkage among people who show no signs of mental decline, Coffey noted. Overall health, he said, accounts for some differences in brain size. Alcohol or drug use, as well as medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, contribute to brain tissue loss throughout adulthood.In the absence of such medical conditions, Coffey said, education level helps explain the range of brain shrinkage exhibited among the mentally-fit elderly. The more-educated can withstand greater loss.(64) Coffey and colleagues gauged shrinkage of the cortex by measuring the cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液) surrounding the brain. The greater the amount of fluid, the greater the cortical(脑皮层的) shrinkage.Controlling for the health factors that contribute to brain injury, the researchers found that education was related to the severity of brain shrinkage. For each year of education from first grade on, subjects had an average of 1.77 milliliters 11 more cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. Just how education might affect brain ceils is unknown. (65) In their report, the researchers speculated that in people with more education, certain brain structures deeper than the cortex may stay intact to compensate for cortical shrinkage. However, he explained, the finding suggests that education allows people to withstand more brain tissue loss before their mental functioning begins to break down.
