Passage1 How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists 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 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 space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival? 11.For What purpose did the scientists conduct the experiments on rats? To learn why human population grows so fast. To find out to what extent man is affected by living space. To find out how rats live and die. To learn in what way rats are like human beings. 12.When the rats become overcrowded, which one of the behavior patterns is not shown in the experiment? They can't eat well. They can't sleep well. They tend to reproduce more. They tend to bite each other. 13.What did the experiments prove? Population explosion can lead to violence. Population explosion is inevitable. Overcrowdedness can have the same effect on man. Food and space are essential to all animals.
