Passage OneHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are notadequately met? Sociologis

29、ts and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determinethe effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats isgreatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproducewell. However, if their

30、 living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even theirhealth perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or 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

31、violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequatespace not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?51.

Over the Years, peop

35、lehave made up new languages with this aim. At least six hundred languages have been developed in thesearch for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one,Esperanto (世界語 ) , was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a bookabout his new langu

36、age in 1887.To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as simple as possible. Esperanto has neverbeen accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggestedas an auxiliary language.

37、chools.Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapersandmagazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books havebeen written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new au

38、xiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious. Throughout thiscentury English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for manymillions of people.

43、 toll could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity thatshook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a. m. on aholiday, when traffic

44、 was light on the city s highways.

45、eir drawingboards are blueprints for improved quake - resistant buildings.

46、ing. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubberand steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The mostrecent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, thestructures res

47、pond like living organisms to an earthquake s vibrations. When the ground shakes andthebuilding tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.
