     You may have noticed that the world's population is not evenly distributed (分别) 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 diving in a certain
area.
     The two main factors that influence people'choice of location are climate and resources. Climate is the
usual weather conditions in a region. Areas that have bad weather are generally less deal 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 way.  When it
comes to climate, warm conditions and a normal amount of rainfall are advantage that attract people.
     Natural resources are things that we get from nature that help us survive. Each region offers different
resources, and therefore attracts different groups of people. People who enjoy the beach car 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 advantage of the
resources like oil or woods.

     Many earthquakes (地震) happen without warning, so it is important to know what to do wherever you
are during an earthquake. Here are some top tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. 
    ◆ Keep a cool head. Worry may make bad decisions. Think about what you should do. The first several
seconds are important. 
    ◆ If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a heavy desk and protect your head. Stay away from
windows and anything that could fall on you.
    ◆ If you are in a crowded hall away from the door, don't rush to the exit. You will find too many people
trying to get out at the same time. Instead, hide under a desk or a table. Do not get into a lift during an
earthquake!
    ◆Stay in a safe area until you are sure it's OK to leave. Some aftershocks (余震) may follow an earthquake.
These are as dangerous as the earthquake. 
    ◆If you are at home and you smell gas, open a window and leave the building quickly.
    ◆ If you are outdoors, find a clear place away from buildings, trees, street lights and power lines.
    ◆If you are buried in debris (埋在废墟), you may make noises by knocking at the rocks. Shouting will use
