Migrant (移民的)
Workers{{/B}} In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most{{U}} (51) {{/U}}to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East,{{U}} (52) {{/U}}increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers{{U}} (53) {{/U}}the .U.S.A. and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries,{{U}} (54) {{/U}}South Korea and Japan. In view of the difficult living and working{{U}} (55) {{/U}}in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can{{U}} (56) {{/U}}at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major{{U}} (57) {{/U}}. Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿) advantage. For example, the{{U}} (58) {{/U}}living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to{{U}} (59) {{/U}}on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the{{U}} (60) {{/U}}of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely{{U}} (61) {{/U}}greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country. One major problem which{{U}} (62) {{/U}}migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on{{U}} (63) {{/U}}, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be{{U}} (64) {{/U}}since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any{{U}} (65) {{/U}}, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive. |
