Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’sGDP measures “everything

except what makes life worthwhile.” WithB

ritain voting to leave the European

Union, and GDP already predicted to slowas a result, it is now a timely moment

to assess what he was referring to.

The

question

of

GDP

and

its

usefulness

hasannoyed

policymakers

for

over half a century. Many argue that it is a mistakenconcept. It measures things

that

do

not

matter

and

misses

things

that

do.

Bymost

recent

measures,

the

UK’s

GDP

has

been

the

envy

of

the

Western

world,

withrecord

low

unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going sowell, then

why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warningsabout what

it could do to their country’s economic prospects?

A recent annual study of countries and theirability to convert growth into

well-being

throws

some

light

on

that

the

163

countries

measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers inensuring that economic

growth is translated into meaningful improvements for itscitizens. Rather than

just focusing on GDP

, over 40 different sets of criteriafrom health, education

and

civil

society

engagement

have

been

measured

to

get

amore

all-round

assessment of how countries are performing.

While all of these countries face their ownchallenges, there are a number

of common themes. Yes, there has been aneconomic recovery since the 2008

global crash, but in key indicators in areassuch as health and education, major

economies have continued to decline. Yetthis isn’t the case with all countries.

Some relatively poor European countrieshave seen huge improvements across

measures including civil society, incomeequality and environment.

This

is

a

lesson

that

rich

countries

canlearn:

When

GDP

is

no

longer

regarded

as

the

only

measure

of

a

country’ssuccess,

the

world

looks

very

different.

So what Kennedy was referring to was thatwhile GDP has been the most

common method for measuring the economic activityof nations, as a measure,

it

is

no

longer

enough.

It

does

not

include

importantfactors

such

as

environmental quality or education outcomes

—

all things thatcontribute to a

person’s sense of

well-being.

Astronauts traveling in space meet forms ofradiation that are uncommon

on Earth. Some of this radiation has been shown tobe harmful to human health.

It is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet anew American study suggests

the radiation does not shorten astronauts’ lives.

Researchers

studied

nearly

60

years

ofhealth

records

and

other

data

about male astronauts from the United then compared this data

with

information

about

a

group

of

men

who

are

ingood

health,

richer

than

most Americans and receive good healthcare-professional athletes. The study

found that neither group has higher ratesof dying at a young age. In fact, both

groups generally live longer than otherAmericans.

Astronauts are usually well-educated, earnmore money and are in better

physical condition than the average American. Someearlier research has linked

being an astronaut

to

a

lower

risk

of

early

death,the researchers

noted.

The

findings

were

reported

in

the

publicationOccupational

&

Environmental

Medicine.

Much of the existing research on mortalityrates in astronauts has not yet

explored the mental and physical demands of thisjob. There also has not been

a lot of research on whether astronauts show whatis known as the “healthy

worker

effect”. This effect leads peoplewith employment of any kind to have

fewer

medical

problems

than

people

who

areunable

to

work,

said

Robert

Reynolds.

Reynolds

said,

“The

challenge

hasalways

been

to

understand

if

astronauts

are

as

healthy

as

they

would

be

hadthey

been

otherwise

comparably employed but had never gone to space at all. Todo this, we need

to find a group that is comparable on several importantfactors.”

（

How did researchers carry out their study?

A .

By

doing

interviews.B .

By

analyzing

some

factors.C .

By

comparing

different data.D . By doing experiments in the lab.

（

）

What can we learn from the text?

A . All radiation is harmful to human health.B . Athletes tend to be poorer

than

most

Americans.C

.

Healthy

worker

effect

makes

working

people

healthier.D . Research has explored the mental and physical demands of being

astronauts.

（

3

）What can he inferred from Reynolds’ words?

A . They are determined to face the challenge.B . The research is almost

impossible to conduct.C . Several important factors hold back the research.D .

Astronauts are as healthy even they haven’t been Astronaut.
