There are many things we can do to help ourselves to live longer. Fasten the safety belts each time we get into a car. Each year 10,000 lives could be saved by the use of safety belts. It is surprising then that not everyone wears them. Some people say they will never be in an accident be cause they are careful drivers. Such an excuse is weak. In fact, it is false. I have a friend named Jane Tailor. She is a safe driver, I think. One day, she was driving her car to the airport, but she did not have her safety belt on.: Suddenly a huge truck went through the Ted light. She was hit by it. The next thing she knew was that she was in the hospital. She suffered from a head injury and broken bones. How did Jane’s accident happenA huge truck went through()and hit her car.

The growth of population during the past few centuries is no proof that population will continue to grow straight upward toward infinity and doom. On the contrary, demographic history offers evidence that population growth has not been at all constant. According to paleo-ecologist Edward Deevey, the past million years show three momentous changes. The first, a rapid increase in population around one million B. C., followed the innovations of tool-making and tool-using. But when the new power from the use of tools had been exploited, the rate of world population growth fell and became almost stable. The next rapid jump in population started perhaps 10,000 years ago, when men began to keep herds, plow and plant the earth. Once again when initial productivity gains had been absorbed, the rate of population growth abated. These two episodes suggest that the third great change, the present rapid growth, which began in the West between 250 and 350 years ago, may also slow down when, or if technology begins to yield fewer innovations. Of course, the current knowledge revolution may continue without foreseeable end. Either way contrary to popular belief in constant geometric growth--population can be expected in the long nm to adjust to productivity. What is found to have close relationship with rapid increase in population
A. War between 2 countries.
B. Ways discovered to increase productivity.
C. Migration from a continent to another continent.
D. A new religion beginning to be accepted by peopl
