A
OTTAWA — Canada’s western city of Calgary is the world’s best city
when it comes to healthy living, local press reported Monday.
According to an international survey by Mercer Human Resource
Consulting, a London- based consulting firm, Calgary was put at the top of a
list of 144 cities. It scored 121 points, just above Honolulu’s score of 120.
Helsinki（赫尔辛基，芬兰首都） and Ottawa followed at 119.5 and 118.5
respectively.
Three other Canadian cities came in the top 20. Montreal and
Vancouver tied for ninth and Toronto came in at 18th.
The scores are based on air pollution levels, availability and quality
of hospitals and medical supplies, as well as the efficiency of waste
removal and sewage systems.
In America, the lowest scoring city was Atlanta, which was ranked
76th. Athens was the lowest scoring city in Western Europe, ranking 120th
because of its air pollution. London was ranked 59th.
1. How many Canadian cities are in the top 20?
A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.

Canada is one of the few nations in the world that have two official
languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but
only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because
it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered
the rest.
Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent
country，and English and French have become the official languages ever
since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national
television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart
from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast，French television is
very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus，for example，outside of
Quebec，there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French.
In restaurants，it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless
you are in the heartland of French Canada. However，it is claimed by law
thay all products sold in Canada must have labels and instructions in both
languages.
In Canada’s English speaking provinces，official bilingualism(双
语)means that students can choose to complete a special French language
course. Under this programme，they are taught most of their subjects in
French.
If a student begins the course in kindergarten or Grade One，it is
likely that all their lessons will be in French. However，if they start at
junior high school，25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.
many provinces are there in Canada?
A. Ten. B. Nine. C. Eleven. D. Two.
country controlled Canada before its independence?
A. France. B. Britain.
C. America. D. Germany.
can you watch French television programmes?
A. Only in Quebec.
B. In Quebec and a few other places.
C. From the two national television networks.
