Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile”. With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to. The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything, was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects? A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing. While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment. This is a lesson that rich countries can learn; When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different. So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough, It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being. The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress. 【小题1】Robert F, Kennedy is cited because he .

Employee performance reviews are key to offering helpful feedback to managers and employees. But not knowing what to say or write can make the process downright painful-especially when you're on a deadline. If you do annual performance reviews, it's important to get it right. This is key to boosting employee engagement. If you're a manager, these are good for writing your reports. If you're an employee, these can work equally well for self-evaluation. Many of today's performance reviews aren't as effective as they could be. Let me explain. Fast Company reports that 74%of younger workers walk out of performance reviews unsure of what their managers actually think of their performance. Think about that!This is because those reviews lack good performance evaluation comments. This mirrors the fact that,79%of employees don't think their organization's review process is all that good to begin with. No matter how good your performance reviews are, you can almost certainly do better. If you want more inspiration, read the book Effective Phrases for Performance Appraisals. When you include these in your performance reviews, you'll describe positive and constructive feedback more clearly, which is exactly the kind of useful communication employees need. Keep in mind that you should be specific when you're writing any feedback for reviews. 1/5 50. Employee performance reviews are key to offering _50_ to managers and employees. 请输入答案...

Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town.When I was growing up，Mum and Dad didn't have much money，but they'd saved enough for a few days in Bournemouth.I was four years old at the time.I don't actually remember much about the trip，apart from being devastated when we had to leave.Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go.So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place. Forty years on，my wife and I returned for a week's break.I was nervous，wondering if I'd be able to bring back that delight I'd felt as a child.I needn't have worried.We had a fantastic time.It helped that the British weather had decided to provide us with high temperatures and plenty of sun.But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound，making me feel like a child again. Bournemouth and its neighbour，Boscombe，are always busy，alive with chatter，music and other lively sounds.But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens，all the noise faded away.A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths，delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants. One morning，we made a short trip to Poole Quay and took the ferry to Brownsea Island.Owned by the National Trust，it's a feast for the eyes，from its mock Tudor entrance，to the many peacocks walking around，to the magnificent views of the sun sparkling on the shining waters and boats bobbing up and down，seen from the island's highest point. Before we knew it，it was time to return home—but not before waving goodbye to the sea.（1）Which of the following best explains "devastated" underlined in Paragraph 1？ ____ A．Sorrowful.B．Surprised.C．Thrilled.D．Desperate.（2）What made the author feel nervous？ ____ A．The fear of losing childhood memories.B．The adjustment to the new circumstances.C．The uncertainty of recalling childhood delight.D．The exposure to high temperatures and sunshine.（3）what does the author think about Boscombe Chine Gardens？ ____ A．It boasts seaside views.B．It belongs to wild animals.C．It is free of the town's noise.D．It reminds him of his childhood.（4）What is the text mainly about？ ____ A．Farewell to Bournemouth.B．Working in a wonderful place.C．A childhood unforgettable story.D．Revisiting a childhood favourite.
