Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated（迁移）across continents 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 are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination 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, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.
    There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):
    Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的） status, establishing a household 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 decades 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.”
    Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.

I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 　　 1　　 to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “　 2 　 hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a 　　3　 word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.

My parents always 　 4　 me to go to college. However, when I 　 5　 at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they　 6　 stopped telling me they loved me and I could do anything I wanted to.　　 7　 , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently 　 8　 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the 　　9　 a better place to live in.

Every time I call home to tell them about a 　　10　 I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or 　　11　 class it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how 　　12　 of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home to when they get an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly 　 13　 to have my parents.

Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of 　　14　 . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful　　 15　 that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced. But somehow, we 　 16 to work through those issues. They never 　17　　 loving in me or believing in me.

I 　 18 　 everything I am to my parents. Without their constant love and 　　　 19　 , I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always 　 　　 20　 for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.
