Foot racing is a popular activity in the US. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way
to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though
serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all.
Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and
excrcise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in astrollers) to those in
their eighties, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks,
and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the question from 34 to 41.
Overpopulation, the situatuon of having large numbers of people with too few reources and too little
space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of
resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a
certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much
food and other resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple
farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small
numbers of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.

In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe,
overpopulation generally is not considered a major caus of poverty. These countries produce large quantities
of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale irrigation, and
agricultural machinery. This form of production provides enough food to support the high densities of
people in metropolitan areas.
A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural
productivity. Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population densities, with 1, 147
persons per sq km. A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in low – productivity manual
farming, which contributes to the country’s extremely high level of poverty. Some of the smalleer countries
in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well. These
countries practice mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and there fore
have high standards of living.
At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities of
less than 30 persons per sq km. Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence farming; these
countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and technology to boost productivity. As
a consequence, these nations are very poor. The United States has both relatively low population density and
high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations.
High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries. Children are assets to
many poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming. Cultural norms in traditionally rural
societies commonly sanction the value of large families. Also, the governments of developing countries
often provide little or no support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep
their families small have difficulty doing so. For all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high
rates of population growth.
(From “Poverty” by Thomas J. Corbett)
