 Read the following passage and choose the best answers for the following questions 
 Population explosion, or overpopulation, has become a familiar issue for almost everybody 
in the world, and a serious problem as well. 
 The most pressing problem created is perhaps the increasing demand for food, while area 
of the earth can never be expanded for more cultivable land. Along with the shortage of food, 
there are also the problems of decreasing supply of water, less job opportunities, insufficient 
houses, schools, and health care. Rather, as the rapid growth of world population continues, 
the whole world will face the problems of natural resources being used up at an increasing 
speed, which, in turn, can only bring about ever serious threat to mankind. 
 The problem of employment and population is a world one. It is difficult to solve this 
problem. Perhaps you think we can build more factories so that more people can get jobs or we 
can adopt strong measures of retirement. However, these cannot solve the problem thoroughly 
because of many factors. 
 The best, perhaps the only solution to solve the problem is to exercise birth control. Only by 
this means can population growth be checked and related problems be solved.
