As recently as 50 years ago, economists regarded the vitality of the economy as its ability to produce things people want (and would pay for ). Today, the economy has been redefined into something called the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. It measures all goods and services brought to market ia a given year: But is it really an accurate measure of how well an economy is serving people’ s needs Here are some outlandish ways the GDP can be boosted. Things Kids Can Do. Get sick. Constant medical attention is good for the GDP. Medical costs account for 14 percent of it. Let’s stay on the growth curve. Kids can commit crimes. If they get arrested, they go to jail, the expensiveness of which gives the economy a push. Things Adults Can Do. Get a divorce. Legal costs, two houses, and all the things that A. angry B. supportive C. sarcastic D. humorous 查看答案 更多"{{B}}TEXT B{{/B}} As re"的相关试题: [单项选择] {{B}}TEXT B{{/B}} As recently as 50 years ago, economists regarded the vitality of the economy as its ability to produce things people want (and would pay for ).

An organism’s physiology and behavior are dictated largely by its genes. And those genes contain information written in code that is surprisingly similar to the digital code that computer scientists have devised for the storage and transmission of other information. There are some differences, of Course. The genetic code has four elements (known as bases or letters), while a computer’s binary code has only two. And the bases of genetic code are grouped together in threes rather than in the eight-bit bytes of computing. But the similarities are so striking that biology is suddenly undergoing a serious amount of computerization. At the same time, there has been rapid progress in the machines that supply the raw material for the A. A shortage of research funds. B. A reluctance to acquire advanced mathematical skills. C. An insufficient knowledge of computer languages. D. An unwillingness to work cooperatively with mathematicians. 查看答案 [单项选择] {{B}}TEXT B{{/B}} Two techniques have recently been developed to simplify research and reduce the number of nonhuman primates needed in studies of certain complex hormonal reactions. One technique involves the culturing of primate pituitary(垂体)cells and the cells of certain human tumors. In the other, animal oviduct (输卵管) tissue is transplanted under the skin of laboratory primates. Both culturing techniques complement existing methods of studying intact(完整的) animals. With an in vitro culturing technique, researchers are deciphering how biochemical agents regulate the secretion of prolactin(催乳激素), the pituitary hormone that promotes milk production. The cultured cells survive for as long as a month, and they do not require serum (血清), a commonly used culture ingredient that can influence cellular function and confound study results. One primate pituitary gland may yield enough cells for as many as 72 culture dishes, which othe A. reproductive organs of nonhuman primates B. diseases of the pituitary glands C. in vitro studies of pituitary hormones D. techniques for studying hormonal reactions 查看答案 [单项选择] Text 3 Tom Burke recently tried to print out a boarding pass from home before one of the frequent/lights he takes. He couldn’t. His name, or one similar to it, is now on one of the Transportation Security Administration’s terrorist watch lists. Every day, thousands of people like Burke find themselves unable {o do things like print a boarding pass and are pulled aside for extensive screening because their name, or a name that sounds like theirs, is on one of the watch lists. From the TSA’s perspective, the screening is just one of the many new layers of increased security that are designed to prevent terrorist activity. The inconvenience is regrettable, but a price that society has to pay for security. And for national security reasons, the FBI and other government agencies responsible for supplying names to the lists will not disclose the criteria they use. They say that would amount to tipping their hands to the terrorists. But c A. similar. B. opposite. C. confusing. D. ambiguous. 查看答案 [单项选择]{{B}}Text 2{{/B}} In England recently three foreign gentlemen approached a bus stop. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to board it.

The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of queuing for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus stop is the first person it get on the bus.
