As everyone knows, there are far too many people in the word. Or at least, there soon will be too many people, because the rate of population increase is running out of control. We are, as they say, breeding like rabbits, and rabbits are widely recognized as destructive animals. People are possibly the most serious of all pollutants. We hear this so often, from such distinguished persons, that it must be true. So we accept it. The arithmetic tells its own story and never better than in the words of Paul Ehrlich, whose Population Bomb drew the matter to our attention many years ago. " Let" s examine what might happen on the absurd assumption that the population continued to double every 37 years into the indefinite future. If growth continued at that rate for about 900 years, there would be some 60,000,000, 000,000,000 people on the face of the earth. Sixty million billion people. This is about 100 persons for each square yard of the Earth" s surface, land and sea. " Images were generated in which the entire visible universe consisted of a solid mass of human bodies. It is not really the fault of us western Europeans, Australians and North Americans. It is not in our countries that the increase is taking place. Growth is concentrated in the less industrialized countries, among the poor. The people of Whom we have, or will have, too many are poor, many of them are very poor indeed, and there seems to be little that can be done about it, beyond urging them to behave more responsibly and criticizing those who oppose the widespread provision of contraceptive devices. The choice we face in our arithmetic of poor people is between reducing one or other of the two apparent variables: the people or their poverty. In fact it is not that simple, for reducing poverty would surely encourage people to breed faster, so eliminating what we had helped them to gain at no small cost to ourselves. No matter how you look at it, the future seems pretty grim. Obviously, such a rate of growth cannot be sustained. The question centers not on whether it will end, but how, and most commentators, following the line of reasoning popularized by Paul Ehrlich, suppose the end will be disastrous. Our numbers will be reduced; sword, fire, famine and pestilence will sweep the world on an unprecedented scale. The passage indicates that______.

Shakespeare, apparently, had it right. All the world is a stage. " You are actors, and the stage is your family," says Claude Gudner, a marriage and family therapist in Ontario, Canada. "The kids see everything on that stage. " For better or worse, our day-to-day interactions with our spouse—such things as decision making , conflict and displays of affection-slowly construct what Judith Siegel calls our children" s " blueprint for intimacy. " Siegel is the author of What Children Learn from Their Parents" Marriage. She says research shows that this primary model of intimacy makes a lasting impression on kids. " In a problematic marriage, children might develop behavior problems or health problems such as gaining weight or headaches," says Siegel. Their grades may drop, their personalities change. And kids can carry the burden of marital difficulties into their own adult relationships. " Not only can kids take on their parents" unfinished business, but this can be passed down generation upon generation," Gudner explains. There" s a positive flip side to this, of course. " When we look at children who come from families where there are healthy marital relationships, we see it reflected in their physical health as well as their ability to function well socially and academically," says Siegel. Experts and parents agree that the bedrock of a healthy marriage is mutual respect " It" s always been very important to us that we don" t cut each other down in front of the kids," says Jasmine Burns. Saving criticism until after the fact can also work. " Many times I think my husband is too hard on the boys," says Iwona McNeil. " But I let him handle the situation, and then when we are alone, I let him know what I think. " Siegel also urges parents to be careful when and where they choose to blow off steam about their spouse" s shortcomings. " People sometimes complain to their family and friends about their partner on the telephone, not realizing that their children are listening," she explains. The best title for the passage might be______.
