Resolved questions
Is there a word plural, but does not correspond to a specific singular noun?
I learned that
"Information IS important to most people."
"People ARE worried about earthquake."
because
"information" is abstract, uncountable noun.
"people" is plural noun --
However, it does not correspond to a specific singular noun?
In other words, it seems the word "people" have not a given word as its singular form?
Are there which another words like "people" yet?
(还有哪些其他单词和people一样?)

People has a specific singular noun: Person
That being said, there are "aggregate nouns" which have no singular. Here is a list of some of them: accommodations, amends, archives, bowels, communications, congratulations, contents, stairs, thanks, goods, news, means, series, species, barracks, crossroads, gallows, headquarters
