Direction: Read the given passage
carefully and answer the questions
that follow. Certain words are printed
in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the these.
For decades, retirees looked to places
such as Florida for the climate and
leisure activities. But now many
retirees are searching for something
extra -- a place where they can make
connections and a difference. To
them, a small town seems like the
idyllic retirement setting after years
of hustling and bustling in the cities
and suburbs.
Many small towns are not waiting for
retirees to discover them.
Communities are actively seeking out
retirees as a way to boost economic
development. Ellsworth is one of ten
tiny communities in Kansas offering
free land to retirees and families who
want to relocate.
If you treasure your anonymity, you
may not want to live in a place where
everyone really knows your name, as
well as your business, says Frank
Levering, who moved with his wife,
Wanda Urbanska, from Los Angeles to
rural Virginia. In a small town, people
may notice a new awning on your
house or whether you left 15 minutes
early that day, or whether your cat
was wandering down the street.
"If you ever wanted to be useful or
needed, a small town is the place for
you," says Levering. "There is often a
bit of social pressure to become
involved, and if you are not, you tend
to feel what people are thinking about
you."
It's difficult to stereotype small-town
living. Sure, you can move into a
cabin in the woods and fish all day.
But you can also find many activity-
packed places. In 2003, Charlene and
Terry Ott left Fort Lauderdale, for
Oxford, and are leading busy lives.
They lived in Florida for 25 years,
while Terry was a sales manager for
an airline. But they felt that even a
retirement mecca like Fort Lauderdale
was getting too crowded. They
discovered Oxford when they took a
side trip from a gambling jaunt to
Tunica, about 30 miles away.
Oxford is one of 21 small towns in
Mississippi that are designated as
"certified retirement communities" by
the state's Hometown Mississippi
Retirement program. A certified
community must meet criteria that
are important to retirees, such as
quality medical facilities and an
affordable cost of living.
As appealing as small-town life may
seem, city slickers should recognize
that housing choices may be limited.
The Carlsens of Walla Walla had a
tough time finding ___(A)___, so
they bought land and had a house
built. There are few flights from Walla
Walla -- convenient transportation is
a consideration if you want to visit
family or friends. If you have a
medical condition, make sure you
have easy access to specialists. But
smaller places are building bigger
hospitals, as doctors, too, escape big
cities for the simpler life.

Rand's Morrison, 67, advocates
spending a few weeks a year in a
place before deciding to settle there.
He says: "Think about what you are
going to do on Monday, on Tuesday
and on Wednesday -- other than play
golf." He knows from personal
experience, having moved from Los
Angeles to Nantucket, Mass.
