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 ExperiencesFinally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather.

People worry that there will not be enough food for everyone in the middle of this century.Recently scientists have discovered one strange plantnamed fedtschenkoi（玉吊钟）may help. It can absorb（吸收）carbon dioxide(CO)at night. It only needs 10 times less water than food plants like beans. This means itcan grow in the desert(沙漠).In which ways could this plant help us?Since deserts are increasing in size because of the changes in Earths climate, growing plants there will be more and more important. Although it is dangerous toeat this plant, scientists can still study something about it: how it absorbs CO atnight while many other plants only do this during the day, and why it is suited to thedesert.There is another direction to take the research in. Producing a desert plant to eatwill be difficult, but there is still possibility to use the genes(基因)from this plant and put them into food plants.The other way is to grow this type of plant for fuel(燃料).
