3 . The Australian Outback town of Quilpie is home to 800 people. The town hoped its offer of free land might draw five new families to the community. In less than two weeks, the town has received more than 250 requests for information about the offer from around Australia and other countries around the world. The town leaders came up with the idea to deal with a housing shortage. The lack of housing made it difficult to fill jobs in the remote area of western Queensland state. People who buy land, build a house on it for less than 560,000 dollars, and live in it for six months can receive a 9,400 dollars payment, known as a grant. A block of land in Quilpie, about 1,000-square meters, sells for around the same amount as the grant. It means the town is effectively giving the land away.

The idea for the grant offer came from Justin Hancock, head of the town council. The 30-year-old spent six months in a retirement (退休) home when he first arrived in Quilpie this year because of the area’s housing shortage. Quilpie has recently needed workers in healthcare and education. It also needs people who can fix cars and prepare meat and many other kinds of workers. Questions about the free land program came from as far away as Britain, India, and New Zealand. But home buyers need to be Australian citizens or permanent (永久) residents to be a candidate for the grant.

Hancock said recently that getting five new families to the area would be a big success. “To see the interest,” he added, “it was a little overwhelming (难以处理的事情).” Real estate prices have increased greatly across much of Australia throughout the coronavirus crisis. Lockdowns in the largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, and low interest rates have sent people to search for larger homes in smaller towns. Most of the interest in coronavirus-free Quilpie has come from the state capital, Brisbane, a city of 2.4 million on the Pacific Ocean 1,000 kilometers to the east. But there is also interest from Melbourne, Newcastle, and Western Australia state. Both young families and retired people are considering the Quilpie move. They have different reasons. “People who are coming out of lockdown (锁定) are saying I want wide open spaces, and we have plenty of that,” Hancock said.

The area that Quilpie is in, known as a shire, covers 68,000 square kilometers. Two grants will be received by Quilpie locals, one by council employee Tom Hennessy, 23, and his 24-year-old school teacher fiancee (未婚妻), Tessa McDougall. The couple bought a block of land in August. “I love Quilpie. It’s a great place. Everyone’s friendly,” Hennessy said. Hennessy was born in Quilpie and his fiancee came a year ago from Brisbane.

B．Good jobs can be found in Quilpie.

C．Quilpie is close to the capital of Australia.

D．Quilpie offered the land free of charge.

2. What are the requirements for receiving the grant?

B．The real estate has to be $20 million.

C．Applicants need to recommend five families to move to town.

8 . Are you curious about how busy students are in the United States? Well, we are always busy. We have a lot of homework, but not as much as Chinese students. But we are not just busy working on our studies. As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

First, we have after-school clubs. We finish school early, around 2:40 pm. Then we go to our clubs from 3 pm to 4 pm. There are several kinds of clubs, such as those for arts, sports and culture. I love after-school clubs because I can learn and socialize (社交).

Another kind of common after-school activity is playing on school sports teams. These teams train hard so they can win games against other teams during the competitive season. I have a friend who is on a girls’ basketball team. It is basketball season now, so she trains every day after school from 3 pm to 8 pm. There is just a one-hour break.

The school band’s rehearsal (排练) period is also held after school. I am in a school band. We rehearse once a week every Monday from 4 pm to 7 pm.

Finally, a lot of us do volunteer work on the weekends. We need 15 to 20 volunteer hours each semester (学期) in order to graduate. I often go to the food bank, which is a food donation organization, to work as a volunteer. I’m usually pretty tired after I finish volunteering each week. The work is sometimes boring, but I know I’m working for the good of society. So I enjoy it.
