24、   At the age of 84, Elsie Eiler is still the mayor（镇长）of her hometown of Monowi in the Midwestern United States. But not only is she the mayor, she is also the clerk and the secretary. This is because she is the only person that still lives in the town.

Monowi had a population of 150 in the 1930s. As more and more people moved away in search of jobs in other towns and cities, the population dropped to 18 in 1980. Eventually, there were only two people left in Monowi. They were Eiler and her husband, both of whom grew up there. Eiler decided to stay in the town after her husband died in 2004, which made her the only resident（居民）of the town.

Eiler lives alone, but she is far from lonely. “I’m used to this and I know what I want,” she said. Eiler works twelve hours a day in a bar in Monowi. This is the only business in town; the post office and the three shops closed between 1967 and 1970, followed by the school in 1974. Every morning at 9:00, she goes to the bar, except Mondays when she gives herself the day off. In the bar, she served hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks. Most of her customers live within 20 to 30 miles and are people she’s known much of her life. Others drive 200 miles from nearby cities to have a drink or play cards in the bar. There are also visitors coming from around the world to see her.

Eiler also keeps a list of the vacant houses in her town, in case someone wants to move into one of them and double the town’s population.

25、From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national population census(普查). 7 million census takers have asked each family about their name, gender(性别), age, education, job and so on. This census is different from the ones in the past. For the first time, citizens were encouraged to use smartphones and other digital tools to record their information.

China has a national population census every 10 years. The first one was done in 1953. At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.

For the 2020’s national population census, all people of China were included in the census. But Chinese citizens who had settled(定居) abroad and foreigners who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas(旅游签证) were not counted.

“The census is very important for every citizen,” said Ning Jizhe. “It will help improve infrastructure(基础建设) and public services. For example, if census results show that there are many children living in an area, the government will know that it should build more schools there.”

Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others.
