II. Read the text and choose the best answers to the questions.
 London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. There are a lot of cars in
the city. People go everywhere by car, so traffic in the city centre is heavier than
that in the suburbs. It is harder to find a place to park a car than to do it in other
areas. The public means of transport is cheaper than cars but the Londoners prefer
their own cars. Moreover, there are more and more tourists and visitors coming to
London for sightseeing or shopping. At weekends, the streets are noisier and busier
than they are on weekdays. Now, traffic jams are worse than ever before.
Although the living cost in the suburbs and the countryside is cheaper than
that in the city centre, most young people prefer living in the city centre. London is
richer than other cities in the United Kingdom, but it is more polluted because of
the city industry, vehicles, and plenty of people.
