He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldnt get work fixing floors.On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US$50.21) an hourabout twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business. “I can make what I did in a week in the U.S. in less than a day here,” said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.Australian government figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently working on long-term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years. U.S. citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers, can obtain a nonrenewable(不可續(xù)期的) permit for as much as a three-year stay. After that, they can apply for the renewable 457, which allows up to a four-year stay. The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia. The mining states unemployment rate was 4.5% in November, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six-figure salaries while experienced crane (起重機) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the U.S. and Europe, according to migration data.63. _, a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia. A. As a result of the encouragement of AustraliaB. As a result of high unemployment in the U.S.C. Out of their ambition of finding valuable resourcesD. Out of their determination to realize their dreams64. It can be inferred from the passage that 457 work visas are _. A. for skilled workers in some fieldsB. for students on the building projectC. especially for American workers D. especially for those out of work65. It is implied in the passage that _. A. foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in AustraliaB. it is possible for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countriesC. there are more U.S. citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries D. Australians think it fair to exchange their talent with American skilled workers66. In which of the following cities are workers probably most needed? DScientists have long understood the key role that oceans play in regulating the Earths climate. Oceans cover 70 percent of the globe and store a thousand times more heat than the atmosphere does. Whats newer is the understanding of how this key component of our climate system responds to global warming.A brake on global warmin
