Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two of the cities listed as “ the world’s best.”
SAN JOSE, COSTARICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15℃to 26℃). Housing is not very expensive in SAN JOSE. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafes. Beautiful mountains are around the city. Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center.
Hong Kong, CHINA This lively city­­­---- once a small fishing village----- is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (廟宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small city has a large population of nearly seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.

Televisions were among the most talked-about things at CES 2013—the 2013 International Consumer Electronic Show (國(guó)際消費(fèi)類電子產(chǎn)品展銷會(huì)) last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were bigger and better with some of the highest technology (技術(shù)). Some TVs used a new technology called OLED. They were bigger, thinner and lighter, offered better colour and were brighter than traditional TVs using LED.

Ultra High Definition TVs were also popular. Most of the TVs shown on the exhibition used 4k technology.

 Smart TVs this year were smarter. Many offered technology that users have a more personalized （個(gè)性化的）experience. One such TV from TCL can know who is watching with the help of new technology.
