　　Directions: The following table gives statistics showing the aspects of quality of life in five countries. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the table below.

　　CountryGNP per head Daily calorie supply per headLife expectancy at birth Infant mortality rates

　　Bangladesh140187740132

　　Bolivia570208650124

　　Egypt69029505697

　　Indonesia58022965187

　　USA1316036527412

　　The table uses four broad economic indicators to show the standard of living in five selected countries, including both the most developed nation in the world and some of the less developed nations. There is no denying the fact that the USA had much higher quality of life than other countries.

　　As can be clearly seen from the statistics, the USAone of the richest countries in the worldhad 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, Egypts infant mortality rate was slightly higher than Indonesias, at 97 deaths per 1000 compared to 87 in Indonesia. Bangladesh had by far the lowest quality of life in all the four indicators. Its GNP was only about one-hundredth that of the USA. The figures in terms of the daily calorie supply per head and life expectancy at birth in Bangladesh are the half of those respectively in USA, and its infant mortality rate was 10 times greater.
