Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewestpossible words.Migration is usually defined as permanent
3、 or semi-permanent change of residence. This broaddefinition, of course, would include a move across the street or across a city. Our concern is withmovement between nations, not with internal migration within nations, although suchmovements often exceed international movements in volume. Today, the
4、 motives of people whomove short distances are very similar to those of internalional migrants.Students of human migration speak of push and pull factors, which influence anindividuals decision to move from one place to another. Push factors are associated with theplace of origin. A push factor can
5、be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitablejob, or as traumatic(仓U伤的)as war, or severe famine(饥荒).Obviously, refugees who leave theirhomes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost entirely by push factors (althoughpull factors do influence their choice of destinat
6、ion).Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often these are economic,such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to farm. The latter was animportant factor in attracting settlers to the United States during the 19th century. In general,pull factor
7、s add up to an apparently better chance between several attractive potentialdestinations. The deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence ofrelatives, friends, or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who arewilling to help the newcomers settl
8、e in. Considerations of this sort lead to the development ofmigration flow.Besides push and pull factors, there are what the sociologists call intervening obstacles. Evenif push and/or pull factors are very strong they still may be outweighed by intervening obstacles,such as the distance of the move
9、, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering thenew country, and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival.The decision to move is also influenced by personal factors of the potential migrant. Thesame push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on different people, som
10、etimes becausethey are at different stages of their lives, or just because of their varying abilities andpersonalities. The prospect of packing up everything and moving to a new and perhaps verystrange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man andappallingly(令人毛骨悚然

Similarly,the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another.International migration differs from internal movement in distance and volume, but share thes i m i l a r .3、 I would rather not part with

16、the rising cost of tuition prohibits students from workingthrough college,can the American Dream still be obtained?BThirty years ago,the cost of tuitionwas low enough at most public universities that students could pay their way through school byworking throughout college.But since the average cost
17、of attendance for all 4-year publicuniversities within a given state rises each year,this is now an almost impossible feat (uni529Funi7EE9).80percent of students work at least part-time during college.Recently the question of whether ornot working your way through school has become a "thing of

20、 a public university in a given state has continuously increased as well.Minimumwage only rose in ten states in 2013, while tuition went up in every state.EWith these numbersin mind,it's no surprise some students are working almost full time to pay for school.RyanRose,a sophomore at the Universi

27、e the costs of privateschools such as USC, he did broaden his research to include all public four-year universities in theU.S. Olson analyzed the rising cost of tuition from 1987 to 2010 at these schools and found verysimilar results.After adding a linear regression analysis to find tuition costs in
28、 1979,he found that182 hours a year could pay for a student's tuition in full.In 2013,it would take 991 hours topay for the same year of school.But all of Olson's data only take into account the cost oftuition,meaning he does not include the cost of food,rent,books and general living expense
29、s.JWorking 30 hours a week allows students like Rose to pay for expenses outside oftuition.Although Rose's financial aid package includes a work-study allotment (uni52E4uni5DE5uni4FEDuni5B66uni52A9uni5B66uni91D1),this isn't enough to cover his college costs outside of tuition."lf my com

But of course far fewer of them apply for these positions.The study, by recruitment (uni5F81uni53EC新uni6210uni5458)consultants NB Selection, shows that w
46、hile one in sixmen who appear on interview shortlist get jobs, the figure rises to one in four for women.Reasons for higher success rates among women are difficult to isolate. One explanationsuggested is that if a woman candidate manages to get on a shortlist, then she has probablyalready proved her
47、self to be an exceptional candidate. Dr. Marx said that when women apply forpositions they tend to be better qualified than their male counterparts but are more selectiveand conservative in their job search. Women tend to research thoroughly before applying forpositions or attending interviews. Men,
48、 on the other hand, seem to rely on their ability to sellthemselves and to convince employers that any shortcomings they have will not prevent themfrom doing a good job.Managerial and executive progress made by women is confirmed by the annual survey ofboards of directors carried out by Korn Interna
49、tional. This year the survey shows a doubling ofthe number of women serving as non-executive directors compared with the previous year.However, progress remains painfully slow and there were still only 18 posts filled by women outof a total of 354 non-executive positions surveyed.In Europe a recent
