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.

He 19 that all of them had already been taken 20 one, and there was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one. Mr Black was 21 that he had not taken the one by the window, but, anyhow, he at once went towards 22 .
When he 23 it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written 24 ink and said,“This is reserved for proper load balance.

Two or three other people tried 31 in the window seat beside the soldier, but they, too, 32 the notice and went on. Then, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl stepped into the plane. The soldier, who was 33 the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside him－and 34 that way succeeded in 35 the company of the girl during the whole of the trip.
