答案 The table uses four broad economic indicators to show the standard of living in five selected countries in 2000, including both the most developed nation in the world and some of the much less developed nations. As can be seen from the statistics, the U.S.A.--one of the richest countries in the world--had the highest GNP and daily calorie intake, the longest life expectancy and the lowest infant mortality rate. The other developing countries had a considerably lower quality of life. Egypt, Indonesia and Bolivia were similar in their range of indicators, with Egypt having the highest quality of life among the three. However, Egypt’s infant mortality rate was slightly higher than Indonesia’s, at 40 deaths per 1,000 compared to 31 in Indonesia. Bangladesh had by far the lowest quality of life in all the four indicators. Its GNP was only about one-fortieth that of the U.S.A. The figure in terms of the daily calorie supply per head in Bangladesh is the half of that in U.S.A., and its infant mortality rate was 6 times greater. In conclusion, it can be seen from the economic indicators that the four developing countries have a long way to go before reaching the same level of quality of life as the U.S.A. At the same time, the U.S:A. has the responsibility to help the other countries to develop their economies and improve their people’s living standards.
