They Say Ireland’s the Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine 1ast week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being．
The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes，health，unemployment，climate，political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom，family and community life”．
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service，traffic congestion(拥挤)，gender inequality, and the high cost of living．Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10．
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland，which managed 8.07．Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger，is rated the gloomiest(最差的)，picking up only 3. 89points.
“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued，”the report said,“some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃)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 with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old，such as stable family and community 1ife.”
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.
No.2 on the list is Switzerland．The other nations in the top 10 are Norway，Luxembourg，
Sweden，Australia，Iceland，Italy，Denmark and Spain．
The UK is positioned at No.29，a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics．The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg，took the 13th place in the survey．China was in the lower half of the league at 60th．
16  For 2,005 years，Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.

Estee Lauder Died
1   The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics(化妆品)empire and became one of the most influential women in US，has died on Saturday. Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan，New York City，a company spokeswoman said．She was 97.
2   Born in Queens, New York in 1908, Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Czech father．
3   Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz，a chemist，to beauty salons(美容院)and hotels. In 1930，she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder，took off after World War II．
4   In 1953，the company introduced its first perfume(香水)，Youth Dew，the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70．They include：Aramis，a line of products for men，launched in 1964；and Clinique，a range of odourless(无嗅的)cosmetics, which followed in 1968.
5   By the time she retired in 1995，Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise,
which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies．In 1998, she was
the only woman to feature in Time magazine’s selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century．There were two secrets to her success: her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second best.
6   Even after her retirement at the age of 89，Lauder remained closely involved．Beauty, Lauder believed，was the most important thing in life．
7   She wrote in her 1985 autobiography,“Estee，a Success Story”：“In a perfect world, we’d all be judged on the sweetness of our souls . But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and，usually，the last word.”
