39、 find this passage from?A. About us B. Magazine ReviewC. Licensing D. Submission GuidelinesBAustralia is known as the “lucky country” with its sunny zones, beautiful beaches and relaxed lifestyle. But did you know that it is also a “happy” country, at least according to well-being measures?In fact,

40、Australia scores above average in almost all of the 11 well-being dimensions measured by the OECD Better Life Index. It does exceptionally well on the environment and health. Australians breathe some of the cleanest air, with far less of the tiny particulate matter that gets into the deepest part of

41、 the lungs than in many other countriesa PM10 level of only 13.1 micrograms per cubic metre, as opposed to the average of 20.1 micrograms for the OECD. They can expect to live up to 82 years of age, compared with an average of 80 years in the OECD. And as well as being healthy, they score highly on

42、civic engagement, thanks largely to the compulsory voting system: 93% of Australians turned out to vote in the most recent general elections, the highest percentage in the OECD.Australias regions are also happy. In fact, according to the OECDs new Regional Well-Being, all eight Australian states ran

43、k among the best 20% of all 362 regions studied around the world in civic engagement, environment and income. And Canberra, the Capital Territory, ranks first in Australia, beating the other regions in six of the nine well-being dimensions. Even the low-performing regions still fare better than the

44、OECD average in most of the well-being indicators. But it is not a perfect score sheet. There is wide inequality between the Australian regions, especially in health and safety where the country ranks fourth and fifth worst in terms of disparities. Education is also a problem in some regions, as the

45、 share of workers with at least a secondary diploma living in the lowest performing Australian regions is 8 percentage points lower than the OECD average.Perhaps the most surprising result of all is Australias low score in work-life balance. More than 14% of Australian employees work for more than 5

46、0 hours per week, much more than the OECD average of almost 9%. This hardly squares with the countrys reputation for an easy and leisurely lifestyle, a fact that has been picked up by the Australian users of the Better Life Index, ranking work-life balance as the most important factor for a better l

49、untryCAmizade means friendship in Portuguese. It is also the name of a service organization in the United States that places volunteers in projects mostly in developing countries. Amizades executive director, Eric Hartman, thought of the idea in Brazil in 1994, which explains the Portuguese name.The

50、 Amizade Global Service-Learning and Volunteer Programs placed three hundred volunteers in nine countries last year. These American university students and others worked in thirteen communities.Amizade works with local groups and individuals on service and learning projects. The local groups define

51、and direct the projects. The volunteers learn about local cultures and make friends as they work in the community.Amizade charges college students as much as ten thousand dollars for three months of experience.Volunteers generally provide labor and do things like teaching and assisting at local heal

52、th centers. They can also do research. College students can earn work-study credits.Participants in programs have included a twelve-year-old boy and a man in his eighties.There are programs in Ghana, Tanzania, Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico and Jamaica. There are also programs in Germany, Poland, Northern

53、Ireland and the United States.Recently, in Tanzania, thirteen Amizade volunteers worked on systems to harvest rainwater from the roofs of homes. They worked on the project in the Karagwe area, in the northwestern part of the country. Eric Hartman, the director, described the water collection systems

54、 in blog postings from Tanzania earlier this month.Rain falls on the metal roofs and flows into aluminum gutters (排水沟). These gutters carry the water to a large collection tank on the side of the home.The rain harvesting systems mean that a family member no longer has to walk long distances to get w

55、ater. So there is more time for farming or schoolwork. The systems are especially useful for those who are too sick to go a long way for water.In the Caribbean island nation of Jamaica, Amizade places volunteers with a local partner in the small community of Peters field. The volunteers live with local families. They help children with schoolwork and computer skills. They also v
