In a broad sense,migration is usually defined as "permanent or semi-permanent change of residence".Although movements within nations (internal migration) often exceed movements between nations (international migration) in volume,the motives of people who move short distances are very similar to those of international migrants.
Students of human migration speak of "push" and "pull" factors,which influence an individual's decision to move from one place to another.Push factors are associated with the place of origin.A push factor can be as simple and mild a matter as difficulty in finding a suitable job,or as traumatic as war,or severe famine.Obviously,refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost entirely by ush factors.
Associated with the place of destination,pull factors are mostly economic,such as better job opportunities or the availability of good land to farm.In general,pull factors add up to an apparently better chance for a good life and material well-being than is offered by the place of origin.When there is a choice between several attractive potential destinations,the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as the presence of relatives,friends,or at least fellow countrymen already established in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settle in.Considerations of this sort lead to the development of migration flow.
Besides push and pull factors,there are what the sociologists call "intervening obstacles".Even if push and/or pull factors are very strong they still may be outweighed by intervening obstacles,such as the distance of the move,the trouble and cost of moving,the difficulty of entering the new country,and the problems likely to be encountered on arrival.
The decision to move is also influenced by "personal factors" of the potential migrant.The same push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on different people,sometimes because they are at different stages of their lives,or just because of their varying abilities and personalities.The prospect of packing up everything and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and terribly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids.Similarly,the need to learn a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another.
Regardless of why people move,migration of large numbers of people causes conflict.The newest arrivals are usually given the lowest-paid jobs and are resented by native people who may have to compete with them for those jobs.It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of society in the host country.

  • 1.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students,free periods (課、節(jié)) are useless.From what I have seen,few do homework. (1)
    .This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year,I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
       (2)
    .Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
       In my 8th grade,I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement;so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot,but I built mine incorrectly,so it broke in the kiln (窯). (3)
    .Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However,the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
       (4)
    !College is when we should focus on a specific major,but high school is when we have to figure it out.
       Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. (5)
    .

    A.Our school offers many classes
    B.We should find out what we are good at
    C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
    D.Instead,many are on their phones and talking
    E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
    F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
    G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future

  • 2.Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location.There are lots of great uses for this technology.(1)
    So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service,and pay attention to how you are using it.Here're some important points you may find helpful.
       Choose what's best for you.Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot.(2)
    Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting.Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.
       Know who your friends are.(3)
    This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend.It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky,so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.
       (4)
    Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time,but others will send it forever-until you stop it.Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.
       Update parents.Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.(5)
    If you're heading home late at night,you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive,so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.
    A.Check back often.
    B.Keep sending your location.
    C.However,these services are not for all children.
    D.With its help,you can easily share your location with them.
    E.Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.
    F.Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.
    G.Some location services operate like Facebook,where you invite and accept friends.
