Psychology is literally the study of mind (or soul) but its areas has broadened somewhat in the last century as we have learned that one cannot consider the mind as totally isolated from the body, and it now includes the study of human personality and behaviour.

Looking ahead from the present position where food production has kept ahead of population growth globally, but has fallen per capita in 55 (mainly African) countries, it would seem that these trends will continue. About 30 countries - most of them African - can expect serious problems unless they reduce population growth and give higher priority to agriculture and conservation. Though a warmer, wetter earth with high CO2 levels is likely to be capable of producing more food, the amounts will still be inadequate for many poorer countries. In many cases, the population projections are greater than the entire local land resources can support.

4. Of all the countries in the world it is those in Africa ____ .

A) which have taken the most drastic measures to prevent population growth

B) that are most threatened by food shortages

C) which are environmentally most at disadvantage

D) that are most conscious of the need to preserve this environment

E) in which poverty has been greatly reduced through agricultural development

Answer B

5. It is argued that in the passage that ____ .

A) changes in the world climate are increasing the problems of food production

D) the conservation of land resources is of minor importance

E) any effort must be made to prevent the co2 level from rising
