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.

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 36 to 42.
In recent times developing commercial revenues has become more challenging for airports due to a combination of factors, such as increased competition from Internet shopping, restrictions on certain sales, such as tobacco, and new security procedures that have had an impact on the dwell time of passengers. Moreover, the global economic downturn has caused a reduction in passenger numbers while those that are travelling generally have less money to spend. This has meant that the share of revenue from non-aeronautical revenues actually peaked at 54% at the turn of the century and has subsequently declined slightly. Meanwhile, the pressures to control the level of aeronautical revenues are as strong as ever due to the poor financial health of many airlines and the rapid rise of the low-cost carrier sector.
Some of the more obvious solutions to growing commercial revenues, such as extending the merchandising space or expanding the variety of shopping opportunities, have already been tried to their limit at many airports. A more radical solution is to find new sources of commercial revenue within the terminal, and this has been explored by many airports over the last decade or so. As a result, many terminals are now much more than just shopping malls and offer an array of entertainment, leisure, and beauty and wellness facilities. At this stage of facilities provision, the airport also has the possibility of taking on the role of the final destination rather than merely a facilitator of access.
At the same time, airports have been developing and expanding the range of services that they provide specifically for the business traveller in the terminal. This includes offering business centres that supply support services, meeting or conference rooms and other space for special events. Within this context, Jarach (2001) discusses how dedicated meetings facilities located within the terminal and managed directly by the airport operator may be regarded as an expansion of the concept of airline lounges or as a way to reconvert abandoned or underused areas of terminal buildings. Previously it was primarily airport
hotels and other facilities offered in the surrounding area of the airport that had the potential to take on this role and become active as a business space (McNeill, 2009).
