Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducts a fascinating survey to determine which cities around the world provide “the best or worst living conditions”. It uses factors such as climate, transport, education, safety, and recreational facilities for around 140 world cities. It gives scores for each, and then ranks the cities in order - from the ‘best’ to the worst’.

This year all of the top ten cities came from either Canada, Australia, or Western Europe. Vancouver, Canada had the highest score, which means it is the most ‘liveable’city. Two other Canadian cities, Toronto (4th place) and Calgary (5th), were also in the top five. In second place was Vienna (Austria) followed by Melbourne (Australia). The final two cities in the top ten were Adelaide (Australia) in 9th place and Auckland (New Zealand) in 10th. At the bottom of the list were the cities with the most difficult or dangerous living conditions.

The city with the lowest score was Harare, Zimbabwe, in 140th place. Some other African cities, such as Lagos, Nigeria, also did badly. This could be because of climate, or the political situation in these countries. In the middle of the list came big cosmopolitan cities with their transport and crime problems. These included Paris (17th), London (54th), and New York (56th). The Japanese cities of Osaka and Tokyo did better, however. These cities (both in the top twenty) also had the biggest scores in Asia along with Singapore and Hong Kong.
