Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants,nurses,sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs.Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.
Many of these wage-earners return in the end.In the meantime,they send home huge amounts of money—in the Philippines’ case,over 10% of its GDP.Between January and November,the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005.Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting(勞務(wù)輸出) countries.They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars.As for those Asian countries that import(輸入) labour,as in Europe,falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.
On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) signed an agreement to help migrant(流動(dòng)的) workers—with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders.A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries,but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers.So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries,the Philippines,Indonesia,Myanmar,Cambodia,Vietnam and Laos export labour,Singapore and Brunei import it,and Thailand and Malaysia do both.Sziraczki of the UN’s International Labour Organization points out that,in the next ten years,the total labour force of the worker-exporting countries should grow by about a third.It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs.Most Thais said their government should admit(準(zhǔn)入) no more foreign workers,and a few thought otherwise.Even in Singapore,just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers.Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates(犯罪率).
【小題1】It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that______.
A.the country is Asia’s main source of migrant workers |
B.labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP |
C.the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems |
D.the country both exports and imports labour force |
A.there is a greater flow of labour than reported |
B.more Indonesians work abroad without papers |
C.some countries suffer from low birth rates |
D.the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers |
A.higher birth rates |
B.lower crime rates |
C.greater money inflows |
D.stronger job competition |
A.support the flow of labour between countries |
B.report fairly on the question of labour flow |
C.express his worries over the ASEAN’s decision |
D.regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem |

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Tisich announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.” Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said, “We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”
The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more used to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings. When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyon’s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’s attic(閣樓) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(紙板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.
1.The conflict(沖突) in this story was caused by_________.
A. Marc and Rachel’s different attitudes
B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc
C. Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move
D. Mr. And Mrs. Tisich’s comment of Marc’s irresponsibility
2.Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were________.
A. surprised B. angry and upset
C. anxious for more details D. worried about pacing
3.The reason for Marc’s going home was that_________.
A. he did not want to be left behind
B. he realized his family was important to him
C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents
D. he wished to be a more responsible person
4.What would most likely happen next?
A. Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house.
B. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.
C. Marc would join his family for house moving.
D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.

It was raining as I got off the train in Nashville, Tennessee. I was tired so I went straight to my hotel.
A big, heavy man was walking up and down in the hotel lobby. Something about the way he moved made me think of a hungry dog looking for a bone. He had a big, fat, red face and a sleepy expression in his eyes. He introduced himself as Wentworth Caswell – Major Wentworth Caswell – from “a fine southern family”. Caswell pulled me into the hotel’s barroom and yelled for a waiter. We ordered drinks. While we drank, he talked continually about himself, his family, his wife and her family. He said his wife was rich. He showed me a handful of silver coins that he pulled from his coat pocket.
By this time, I had decided that I wanted no more of him. I said good night.
I was born in the south myself. But I live in New York now. I write for a large magazine. My boss had asked me to go to Nashville. The magazine had received some stories and poems from a writer in Nashville, named Azalea Adair. The editor liked her work very much. The publisher asked me to get her to sign an agreement to write only for his magazine.
I left the hotel at nine o’clock the next morning to find Miss Adair. It was still raining. As soon as I stepped outside I met Uncle Caesar. He was a big, old black man with fuzzy gray hair. Uncle Caesar was wearing the strangest coat I had ever seen. It must have been a military officer’s coat. It was very long and when it was new it had been gray. But now rain, sun and age had made it a rainbow of colors. Only one of the buttons was left. It was yellow and as big as a fifty cent coin.
Uncle Caesar stood near a horse and carriage. He opened the carriage door and said softly, “Step right in, sir. I’ll take you anywhere in the city.”
“I want to go to 861 Jasmine Street,” I said, and I started to climb into the carriage. But the old man stopped me. “Why do you want to go there, sir?”
“What business is it of yours?” I said angrily. Uncle Caesar relaxed and smiled. “Nothing, sir. But it’s a lonely part of town. Just step in and I’ll take you there right away.”
861 Jasmine Street had been a fine house once, but now it was old and dying. I got out of the carriage.
“That will be two dollars, sir,” Uncle Caesar said. I gave him two one-dollar bills. As I handed them to him, I noticed that one had been torn in half and fixed with a piece of blue paper. Also, the upper right hand corner was missing.
1.The narrator (故事的敘述者)got to Nashville probably _______.
A. in the morning B. at noon C. in the afternoon D. in the evening
2. The narrator didn’t like Caswell mainly because of ________.
A. his appearance B. his family C. the way he talked and behaved D. his wife
3. The publisher told the narrator to go to Nashville ______.
A. to get a writer to sign an agreement for his magazine
B. to collect some stories and poems from a writer
C. to look for good writers for his magazine
D. to visit his old friend Azalea Adair
4. Uncle Caesar’s strange coat ________.
A. was worn by a military officer B. was a new gray coat
C. was an old yellow raincoat D. had only one button left
5. From the question “Why do you want to go there, sir?”, we guess that Uncle Caesar _______.
A. wanted to know why the narrator wanted to go there
B. knew the place and was concerned about the narrator
C. would charge two dollars for taking the narrator there
D. must have lived in the neighbourhood before
