阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013, and the US is just 16th．A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer（暗谈） future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada．The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come．

People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public institutions, according to the analysis．The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a 'quality-of-life' index （指数）where it is best to be born next year．

One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play including crime, trust in public institutions and the health of family life．In total, the index takes into account 11 factors．These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography（人口学）social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy．The index also looks at income per head in 2030, which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood．Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind．

Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from the euro—zone．The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain, lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate．Interestingly, the largest European economies — Germany, France and Britain — do not do particularly well．Nigeria has the unenviable（不值得羡慕的） title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013．

51．According to the passage, the happiest people live in ．

A．Denmark B．Switzerland C．Germany D．Nigeria

52．The factors of telling the best place to be born don’t include ．

A．economy B．geography

C．trust in public institutions D．pollution

53．From the passage, we know ．

A．the Economis
