【正文】 ers of the Old Kinderhook Club( 3)Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry (林業(yè)), and most the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people eacha larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (統(tǒng)計(jì)) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country bees a suburb.

He decided to wear the number 0 because people told him he would get zero playing time. After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.
