When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things instead of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco(烟草), or stones. Today there are still some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.
On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world－Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Yap stones do not originate(起源) from the island. The Yap men have to go to islands four hundred miles away to get them. Big stones can be twelve feet high－as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.
Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants(仆人) Follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone on a long stick over his shoulder(肩膀). Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones.
1．What is money today?
2．What did people use instead of money in the world in the past?
3．Where do people on the island of Yap get Yap stones?
4．What do Yap stones look like?
5．What do the Yap men buy with Yap stones today?

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.
