Although people are born to win, they are also born hopeless and totally dependent on their environment. As we have noted, few people are total winners or losers. Most of them are winners in some areas of their lives and losers in other. Their winning or losing is influenced by what happens to them in childhood.
Winners successfully make the transition from total helplessness to independence. Losers do not. A lack of response to dependency needs, poor nutrition, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, inadequate physical care, and terrible events are among the many experiences that contributing to making people losers. Such experiences interrupt, or prevent the normal progress towards independence.
A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluate what they say, but comes to his own conclusions. A loser repress his own capacity to express appropriately his full range of possible behavior. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He maintains his own status. He is a repeater. He repeats not only his own mistakes, but also repeats those of his family and culture. A loser has difficulty giving and receiving affection. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationship with others.

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could he obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control programme lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birth rate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline. 6. A small population may mean .
A. higher productivity, but a lower average income B. lower productivity, but a higher average income C. lower productivity and a lower average income D. higher productivity and a higher average income
7. According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing .
A. agriculture B. transport system C. industry D. national economy
8. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate .
A. goes up B. goes down
C. remains stable D. is out of control
9. According to the passage, a slowly rising birth rate perhaps is good for . A. developing nation B. a developed nation
C. every nation with a big population
