10、multiple choice question,there are four suggested answersmarkedA,B,C and D.Choosethe one that you think is the best answerand mark youranswer on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONEPASSAGE ONE (1)“Britains best export,”I was told by the Department of Immigrationin Canberra,“is people.”Close on 100,000 peopl
11、e have applied for assistedpassages in the first five months of the year,and half of these are eventuallyexpected to migrate to Australia.(2)The Australian are delighted.They are keenly ware that without a strongflowflowof immigrants into the workforce the development of the Australian economyis unl
12、ikely to proceed at the ambitious pace currently envisaged.The new mineraldiscoveries promise a splendid future,and theinjectioninjection of huge amounts ofAmerican and British capital should help to ensure that they are properlyexploited,but with unemployment in Australiadown to less than per cent,
13、thegovernment is understandably anxious to attract more skilled labor.(3)Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States,buthas only twelve million inhabitants.Migration has accounted for half thepopulation increase in the last fouryears,and has contributed greatly to thecountrys
14、 impressive economic development.Britain has always been theprincipal source ninety per cent of Australians are of British descent,andBritain has provided one million migrants since the Second World War.(4)Australia has also given great attention to recruiting people elsewhere.Australians decided th
15、ey had an excellent potential source of applicants amongthe so-called“guest workers”who have crossed their own frontiers to workin other arts of Europe.There were estimated to be more than four million ofthem,and a large number were offered subsidized passages and guaranteed jobsin Australia.Italy h
16、as for some years been the second biggest source of migrants,and the Australians have also managed to attract a large number of Greeks andGermans.(5)One drawback with them,so far as the Australians are concerned,is thatintegration tends to be more difficult.Unlike the British,continental migrantshav
17、e to struggle with an unfamiliar language and new customs.Many naturallygravitategravitatetowards the Italian or Greek communities which have grown up in citiessuch as Sydney and Melbourne.These colonies have their own newspapers,theirown shops,and their own clubs.Their habitants are not Australians
18、,butEuropeans.(6)The governments avowed aim,however,is to maintain“a substantiallyhomogeneous society into which newcomers,from whatever sources,will mergethemselves”.By and large,therefore,Australia still prefers British migrants,and tends to be rather lessselectiveselective in their case than it i
19、s with others.(7)A far bigger cause of concerns than the growth of national groups,however,is the increasing number of migrants who return to their countries of origin.One reason is that people nowadays tend to be more mobile,and that it is easierthan in the past to save the return fare,but economic
20、 conditions also havesomething to do with it.A slower rate of growth invariably produces discontent and if this coincides with greater prosperity in Europe,a lot of people tendto feel that perhaps they were wrong to come here after all.(8)Several surveys have been conducted recently into the reasons
21、 why peoplego home.One noted that“flies,dirt,and outside lavatories”were on the listof complaints from British immigrants,and added that many people alsocomplained about“the crudity,bad manners,and unfriendliness oftheAustralians”.Another survey gave climate conditions,homesickness,and“thestark appe
22、arance of the Australian countryside”as the main reasons forleaving.(9)Most British migrants miss council housing the National Health scheme,and their relatives and former neighbor.Loneliness is a big factor,especiallyamong housewives.The men soon make new friends at work,but wives tend to findit mu
23、ch harder to get used to a different way of life.Many are housebound becauseofinadequatepublictransportinmostoutlyingsuburbs,andregularcorrespondence with their old friends at home only serves to increase theirdiscontent.One housewife was quoted recently as saying:“I even find I missthe people I use
24、d to hate at home.”(10)Rent are high,and there are long waiting lists for Housing Commissionhomes.Sickness can be an expensive business and the climate can be unexpectedlyrough.The gap between Australian and British wage packets is no longer big,and people are generally expected to work harder here
25、than they do at home.Professional men over forty often have difficulty in finding a decent job.Aboveall,perhaps,skilled immigrants often finds a considerable reluctance to accepttheir qualifications.(11)According to the journalAustralianManufacturer,the attitude of manyemployers and fellow workers i
