Ⅲ.阅读理解
The southern New Zealand town of Kaitangata ap pears the chief example of the countryside landscapes the island is known for;it's lush(苍翠的),hilly,green,and peaceful.Only about 800 people live there,and it's a mere eight minutes from the coastline.
For those who prefer the rural,slow lifestyle and community feel in their living environment,it's basically perfect.And here's the best part:New Zealand desperately wants you to move there.
The small town is heavily involved in necessary in dustries relating to dairy(乳制品)processing and freezing works,which more than fill the area's economic needs.In this very unique case,that presents a real problem:there are around 1,000 vacant jobs and too much affordable housing for the residents to fill.
“We have got youth unemployment down to two,” Mayor Bryan Cadogan says,“Not 2 percent—just two unemployed young people.”
So in response to this distinctive crisis,Cadogan and the town's bank,lawyers,and community services are launching a recruitment(征募)campaign to try and attract candidates to the area with housing and land packages costing only 230,000 NZ dollars,or almost 165,000 US dollars.
According to the local residents,“Kai,”as citizens callit,is warm and mainly concerned with the community.
“This is an oldfashioned community,we don't lock our houses,we let kids run free,”a local dairy farmer and thirdgeneration native named Evan Dick told The Guardian.
“We have jobs,we have houses,but we don't have people.We want to make this town vibrant again,we are waiting with open arms.”
