According to a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences(中国社会科学院), China’s urban-ization rate(城镇化率) will be raised a lot in recent years. Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think that life in the city is more exciting and better than that in the rural(农村的) areas, especially younger people who like new, modern things.

Other people are interested in technological(技术的) things and high tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To enjoy these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.

Future and Today
It is well-known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. 36. I have to say that future is now. That is to say, we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying, “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it going by. 37. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return. 38.
We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. 39. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide waits for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. 40. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: No pain, no gain. Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.
A.So some of us even say time is priceless.
B.But do you know what dream really is
C.But do you know what future really is
D.We should do everything before us as well as possible.
E.Some of us always waste time.
F.So from now on, work hard.
G.Time is always with us.
