Who is going to feed all these people? Where is the food going to come from? Are we going to have enough food? Are we going to produce more artificial foods?
One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat. Why? Because it takes 4 kilos of grain protein (蛋白质) to produce half a kilo of meat protein.Clearly, there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8 billion people. Therefore, it will also be necessary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many people's food today.
A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean (大豆). The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content. Scientists can now make these look and taste like real meat. They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk, for example, which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cow's milk. In fact, one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a year! She gave them soybean beef, soybean chicken, soybean mi]k, and sometimes just soybeans. Possibly, we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables.
What is the main subject of the passage?
A.A solution to man's food problem.
B.A solution to the population problem.
C.Advantages of soybean.
D.How to develop good eating habits.

听力原文: One of the reasons for our success as a species is our ability to eat and thrive on a large variety of foods. Many animal species have become extinct or are on the verge of extinction partly because they lack this adaptability. They need to feed on particular food plant or a particular kind of animal or insect. If this source of food is for any reason removed then the animal concerned is unable to change to a different diet. Gradually it becomes extinct. But human beings are almost entirely free from the limitation of any particular food requirements. We are able to survive on a wide variety of foods both animal and vegetable. For example, the Eskimos are almost totally meat eaters: seal, bear, whale meat and fish form. their whole diet; the Aborigines of Australia, living in desert regions, have leant to survive by making use of different insects as food to supplement their diet of wild fruits and roots.

We know that many animal species have died out, but so have some human species such as the early form. of mall that is called Neanderthal man. Perhaps part of the reason for his failure to survive was his lack of adaptability in diet. But modern man is almost entirely free from the limitation of any particular food requirements. We are able to survive on a wide variety of foods both animal and vegetable. For example, the Eskimos are almost totally meat eaters: seal, bear, whale meat and fish form. their whole diet; the Aborigines of Australia, living in dry desert regions, have learnt to survive by making use of forms of insect life as food to supplement their diet of fruits and roots. Men have learnt to survive in the deserts and in dense rain forests; they have learnt to raise domestic animals, which live at high altitudes so that they can inhabit the mountainous regions of the world like Tibet; and they have made the coconut their chief food on the Pacific islands.

When we do not understand each other's language, we can talk with the help of signs.
A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say. "Bring me something to eat. "
The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee. But the man again refused it. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not good.
When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach(胃). That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.
