How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists（社会学家） and psychologists（心理学家） are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly （显然地）change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate（适当的） space not only desirable, but essential for human survival? 56. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage? A. To determine how much living space a rat needs. B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.

C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings. D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions. 57. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats? A.They become nervous. B. they show signs of fear.

C.They eat less. D. They become less active.

58. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.

A.are directly related with population B.may cause an increase in violence C.may lead to high birth rate D.may bring about pollution problems 59. The author seems to imply that _________. A. human society is very similar to that of rats B. B. birth control is essential for a better life C. efforts should be made to improve living conditions D. rats are not social animals

In announcing the recipients in a ceremony held at the US State Department, President of the World Food Prize Foundation Kenneth Quinn lauded both scientists for their “breakthrough scientific achievements” which have significantly increased food security for millions of people from Asia to Africa.

Quinn said it was particularly fitting that the two pioneering rice breeders be awarded the prize during the United Nations International Year of Rice, the crop identified as the staple(主要的) diet of more than 3 billion people around the world.

Professor Yuan Longping is director general of the China National Hybrid Rice （杂交水稻）Research and Development Centre in Hunan Province, China. Jones is presently executive secretary of Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa.

Yuan is credited with developing the world?s first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation.

Jones?s work recaptured the genetic potential of ancient African rice by combining African and Asian rice species.

Present at the ceremony hosted by US Secretary of State Colin Powell were UN Food and Agriculture Director — General Jacques Diouf, US Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman and Minister and Deputy Chief of Mission of the Chinese Embassy Lan Lijun.
