V. Reading Comprehension:
A very important world problem—in fact, I am inclined to say it is the most important of all the great world problems which face us at the present time is the rapidly increasing pressure of population on land and on land resources.
It is not so much the actual population of the world but its rate of increase which is important. It works out to be about 1.6 present per annual net increase. In terms of numbers this means something like forty to fifty-five million additional people every year. Canada has a population of twenty million—rather less than six months’ climb in word population. There are ten million people in Australia..So it takes the world less than three months to add to itself a population. Let us take our own crowded country—England and Wales; forty-five to fifty million people—just about a year’s supply.
By this time tomorrow, and every day there will be added to the earth about 120,000 extra people—just about the population of the city of York.
Here I am not talking about birth rate. This is net increase. To give you some idea of birth rate, look at the seconds hand of your watch. Every second three babies are born somewhere in the world. Another baby!…You cannot speak quickly enough to keep pace with the birth rate.
This enormous increase of population will create immense problems. By 2000 unless something desperate happens, there will be as many as seven billion people on the surface of the earth! So this is a problem which you are going to see in your lifetime.
