shorter time. Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the counties of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70%of them can find jobs. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正(T)与误(F)。（5分）
