We moved slowly through the city in a taxi and entered a crowded slum district. The temperature was 1 over 100 and the air was thick with dust and smoke. The streets seemed alive with people. People eating, people washing, people sleeping. People visiting each other, arguing and screaming. People pushing their hands 2 the taxi windows, begging. People relieving themselves. People holding 3 the sides of buses. People leading animals. People, people, people. As we drove slowly through the crowd, 4 the taxi's horn, the dust heat, noise and cooking fires made it 5 a scene from Hell. Would we ever get to our hotel? All three of us were, I 6 , frightened. Since that night, I've known what overpopulation 7 like. Statistics show that rapid population growth 8 problems for developing countries. So why don't people have fewer children? Statistics from the developed countries suggest that it 9 only when people's living standards begin to rise 10 birth rates begin to fall. There are good reasons 11 this. Poor countries cannot 12 social services and old age pensions, and people's incomes are so low they have nothing to 13 for savings. 14 , many people look 15 their children to, in their old age, 16 them with security. Having a large family can be a form of insurance. And even while they are still quite young, children can do a lot of useful jobs on a small farm. So poor people in a developing country will need to see clear 17 of much better conditions ahead 18 they will think of having smaller families. But their conditions cannot be improved 19 there is a reduction in the rate at which population is increasing. This will depend on a very much wider acceptance of family planning and this, 20 , will mean basic changes in attitudes.
阅读理解
A.On the other hand
B.As a result
C.In fact
D.What' s more
我个人认为这个应该是：B
解析：下文提到And even while they are still quite young, children can do a lot of useful jobs on a small farm，由此句可以判断，孩子在家中的地位很重要，且不止是幼小的时候，成年时更为重要，联系their children和in their old age可以推断，此处的意思应是：人们年老时只能指望孩子。上句提到贫穷国家负担不起养老金，此句则是人们年老时只能指望孩子。两句之间是因果关系，as a result与句意相符。
