Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Oslo is 39.1 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment (娱乐) .
A two-bedroom flat in Oslo now costs $4,000 a month; a CD costs $ 24. 83, and an international newspaper costs $ 6. 30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast-food meal with a hamburger is a steal at $ 4. 80.
Zuri takes the No. 2 place, thanks to higher cost of Swiss franc. Mercer estimates (估算) Zuri is 35 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following Zuri closely are Geneva and Tokyo, Geneva is 33.1 percent more expensive than New York, while Tokyo is 11. 2 percent more costly.
Among Chinese cities, Hong Kong, Taipei and Shanghai are the most expensive and are the only three listed in the top 50 of the world's most expensive cities. Sydney is Canada's most expensive city and takes 7th place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in.

Some Advice about a Healthy Diet健康饮食的建议
If you go to a fast-food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers are keen about food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People call this kind of food “junk food". 【版权所有:21教育】
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.
Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar.
Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins (维生素) and have little fat.
