单选题The sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is
fueled
by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the sun"s life will be like. About 5 billion years from now, the core of the sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fail. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to mercury, which is the closest planet to the sun. The sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the earth will become too hot for life to exist.
Once the sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The sun may
throw off
huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains
there
, it will have frozen onto the earth"s surface.

The fact that most Americans live in
urban areas does not mean that they {{U}}reside{{/U}} in the center of large cities.
In fact, more Americans live in the suburbs of large metropolitan areas than in
the cities themselves. The Bureau of the Census regards any
area with more than 2,500 people as an urban area, and does not consider
boundaries of cities and suburbs. According to the Bureau, the
political boundaries are less significant than the social and economic
relationships and the transportation and communication systems that
{{U}}integrate{{/U}} a locale. The term used by the Bureau for an integrated
metropolis is an MSA, which stands for Metropolitan Statistical Area. In
general, an MSA is any area that contains a city and its surrounding suburbs and
has a total population of 50,000 or more. At the present time,
the Bureau reports more than 280 MSAs, which together account for 75 percent of
the US population. In addition, the Bureau recognizes 18 megapolises, that is,
continuous {{U}}adjacent{{/U}} metropolitan areas. One of the most obvious
megapolises includes a chain of hundreds of cities and suburbs across 10 states
on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, including Boston, New York,
and Washington, D.C. In the Eastern Corridor; as it is called, a population of
45 million inhabitants is concentrated. Another megapolis that is growing
rapidly is the California coast from San Francisco through Los Angeles to San
Diego.
