SYDNEY-Australia's economic boom is encouraging a steady stream of unexpected visitors looking for work:Americans.
U.S.citizens are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near-10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under,where China's thirst for iron ore (矿石 ) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse.
A bricklaying student from Silver Trowel,a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry,apprentices (当学徒) on a building project in Western Australia,where workers are in short supply.
Daniel Davila,a 23-year-old floorer from Camarillo,California made the 14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago.He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for﹩8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors.
On a good day in Australia,he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US﹩50.21)an hour-about 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 7,000Americans 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 457work 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(不可续期的) 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 state's 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 (起重机) 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.
60.A growing number of Americans go to work in Australia___.
A.as a result of the encouragement of Australia
B.out of their ambition of finding valuable resources
C.as a result of high unemployment in the U.S.
D.out of their determination to realize their dreams
61.It can be inferred from the passage that 457work visas are____.
A.for students on the building project B.especially for American workers
C.especially for those out of work D.for skilled workers in some fields
62.According to the passage,how many Americans worked on long term visas in Australia five years ago?___
A.About 3,200. B.About 3,900.
C.About 5,600. D.About 7,000.
63.It is implied in the passage that _____.

B.there are more U.S.citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries
C.foreign skilled workers may earn more money in Australia than in their own countries.
