Question

阅读下面材料，根据内容，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳选项。

Every day, people pack their things and move to a new place. Why do people move? There are many reasons. Look around you. Do you know someone who has moved? Maybe they came from countryside, or from a nearby city or town. Perhaps they came from another country. It's possible that you moved to the city that you live in now. Let's look at the following important reasons people move.

Jobs

People move to find jobs and a better life. Sometimes, people move from the countryside to cities to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people in China lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities. People find a better way of life in other countries, too. In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to Brazil to work in factories: Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.

_________

When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to area called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls, and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.

New Experiences

Finally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather. Some students go to universities in another country to learn about other places. Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life.

As you can see, people move for many reasons. Maybe someday you or someone you know will move, too!
