country，but most americans do not live in small towns any morehalf the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people eacha larger proportion than in germany or england，let alone francethe statistics(统计)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 dayas the rush to live out of town continuesrural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb but more and more the typical american lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment36if now america has 250 million peoplehow many of them are engaged in
