阅读快车系列答案【题目】先通过读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。
Since the beginning of human evolution(演变，进化), men have migrated(迁移) across continents(洲) in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.
Three million migrants(移民) are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination(目的地) is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, getting away from wars and conflicts. They are also leading to population pressures because some countries are now crowded with people, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.
There are three main reasons why people move. The basic kinds and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys(CPS):
Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marriage and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.
Americans have been migrating south and west for many years in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.” They like to live in the countryside.
Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Some families even went abroad.

【题目】 Tips for Writing Better Articles
Many of us don’t spend a lot of time improving our writing skills. This can be a problem when we hand in our articles. Good writing skills will help us improve our grades and benefit us later in life. The following tips can be helpful.
Make good word choices. When we’re not sure which word is the right one for a sentence, look it up in a dictionary. Many of us choose words in a hurry and don’t take the time to decide if they’re proper. Good word choices are necessary for good writing.
Check facts. If we want people to believe what we write, we must make sure our facts are true. We should use dependable facts.
Rewrite. A common problem is that we don’t like to rewrite. In fact, rewriting is the best way to find out and correct some mistakes, like grammar and spelling mistakes. Rewriting makes our writing better, though it takes more time and more work.
Read aloud. Sometimes it’s easier to find problems with spelling, word usage, and grammar when we read aloud. Reading aloud helps us not only find out our problems but also develop our writing.
