10.American cities are similar to other cities around the world:In every country,cities reflect the values of the culture.American cities are changing,just as American society is changing.After World WarⅡ,the population of most large American cities reduced; however,the population shifts(转移)to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society.In the late 1940s and early 1950s,city residents(居民)became wealthier.They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs(郊区).
Now things are changing,The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.Many,unlike their parents,want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are moving back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent (出租).In the 1950s,many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago,people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright,new future.Others see only problems and conflicts (冲突). One thing is sure:many dying cities are alive again.

分析 文章大意:美国的城市和世界其他城市是相似的,每个国家城市都反应了其文化的价值,正如美国的社会在改变一样,美国的城市也在改变.在二战后,大多数人口数不定的大城市的人口转移反应了美国社会文化价值的改变.在90世纪40年代末到90世纪50年代初,城市居民变得富有,他们因为生育了更多的孩子而需要更多的居住空间,他们搬离了在城市里的公寓,在城郊买自己的房子.
现在很多事情都发生了改变,在90世纪50年代离开城市到城郊的人的后代都长大成人了,他们不像他们的父母那样,他们想要住在城市中心,他们陆续地搬到阳光地带的城市和一些在东北和中西部的比较老的城市.很多的年轻专业人士都陆续搬回城市中心,他们喜欢城市中心多于城郊是因为他们的工作地点在那里;或者是因为他们享受城市中心给他们带来的刺激和机会.
人口的转移带来好处的同时也带来问题,不可计数的穷人被迫要离开他们在城市中心的公寓,因为屋主想要卖了它或者是出售公寓而不是出租公寓.在90世纪50年代,多数人因为没有钱搬去城郊,现在同样是那些人因为没有钱居住在城市中心.
在几年前,人们认为那些老的城市正在变得萧条,一些城市居住者现在看到光明,崭新的未来.而另外的一些却看到问题和纷争.但是有一件事却是确定的:很多萧条的城市再次变得生机勃勃.

When you hold your pencil the correct way,writing is much easier.Some kids press(按,压) down really hard when they write.That makes the handwriting not nice.Try to relax yourself and don't hold the pencil so hard.Let your writing appear nice and clean.If you do so,people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
