Exercise 3. Read the text and answer the questions.
THE BENEFITS OF TV
TV is now taking on more and more importance in our lives. For many it is now the main source of entertainment and they use it as a form of relaxation after a hard day at work or school. It is a way of forgetting about reality for a few hours. Most people like to watch comedy programmes or game shows, which do not require too much concentration. However, there are also many people who see TV differently. They use it to find out about the outside world, as a source of information. They switch it on when it’s time for the news or when there is a documentary on an interesting subject. Some people even learn history and literature by watching historical dramas or adaptations of novels. A thirteen-year-old girl who was found to have a very good general knowledge and was thought to read a lot said, “But I learnt it all from TV.” This is one interesting advantage of TV that many parents overlook.

Which is the best city in the world to live and work in ? Every year the Economist Intelligence Unit asks this question. It uses factors such as climate, transport, education, safety and entertainment activities for around 127 world cities. They give score for each, and then rank the factors in order - from the "best" to the "worst".
This year all of the top ten cities came from Canada, Australia, and Western Europe. Vancouver, Canada had the highest score. That means it is the most "liveable" city. Two other Canadian cities, Toronto (9th place) and Calgary (10th), are also in the top ten. In second place was Melbourne, Australia and the third was Vienna, Austria.
