        　　A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bott les
will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾) areas in
China.
        　　Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some
places, especially in Yunnan, Gua ngxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a
serious drought. Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked, and wells (井) and rivers
dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe
drinking water.

giving water , money and other things.
        　　Last week, every member of the Communi st Youth League (共青团员) and Young
Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit
areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the
activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi’an, 900 students bought over 1,000
bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wis hes on the
bottles.
        　　The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving
water.
        　　Students from Nansh an Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on t he
street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.
        　　“I’ve heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’t have enough
drinking water. They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really sad
about that,”said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of
every day to save water.” he said.

        　　You may have noticed that the world’s population is not evenly
distributed(分布) around our planet. There are some countries where people seem to
be living nearly on top of each other because conditions are overcrowded. Then
there are others where it seems that hardly anybody lives. What influences this
unequal distribution of people? There are specific advantages and disadvantages
of living in a certain area.
        　　The two main factors (因素) that influence people’s choice of location are
climate and resources. Climate is the usual weather conditions in a region.
Areas that have bad weather are generally less ideal as places to live in. The
north and south poles at the top and bottom of the world may be beautiful in
their rugged, natural way, but the disadvantage of the bitterly cold and windy
conditions usually keeps people away. When it comes to climates, warm conditions
and a normal amount of rainfall are advant ages that attract people.
        　　Natural resources are things that we get from n ature that help us survive.
Each region offers different resources, and therefore attracts different groups
o f people. People who enjoy the beach can make their living by catching and
selling the ocean’s many fish and other sea creatures. Those who prefer farming
can take advantage of rich soil(土壤) in valleys near rivers. Some people are
willing to accept the disadvantages of the terrible conditions of deserts or
mountains in order to take advantages of the resources like oil or woods.

means .

people?

pole because .
        　　A. they can’t get enough food there B. the natural sights there don’t
attract people
        　　C. the unpleasant weather keeps them away D. the length of nighttime keeps
them away
        　　( ) 4. Why do people go and live in valleys near rivers?
        　　A. The temperature isn’t too low in winter. B. The resources like oil can
bring them much money.
        　　C. Peopl e can make their living by catching and selling fish.
