How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are making experiments on rats to try to determine the efforts of over crowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behaviour of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behaviour and even their health change obviously. They can't sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. 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 enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival?
The writer is mainly talking about ______.

A. a person's living space needs
B. building and floors
C. equipment and conditions
D. population and violence

Doctors are of the opinion that most people cannot live beyond 100 years, but a growing number of scientists believe that the aging (衰老) process can be controlled. There are more than 12,000 Americans over 100 years old who receive Social Security (社会保险) benefits, and their numbers are increasing each year. Dr. James Langley of Chicago claims that, theoretically and under ideal conditions, animals, including man, can live six times longer than their normal period of growth. A person's period of growth lasts approximately twenty-five years. If Dr. Langley's theory is accurate, future generations can expect a life span(寿命) of 150 years.
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. Within a few generations, most people may live much longer than they do now.
B. More than 12,000 Americans are over 100 years old.
C. Doctors and scientists disagree over the question of man's possible life span.
D. Man's normal period of growth is approximately as long as that of animals.
