A、Diet. B、Sleep. C、Space. D、Stress. C题目询问什么影响老鼠的行为。听到“最近研究表明：鼠类行为受空间影响颇大”，可判断选项C(空间)正确。

How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of over crowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that [26] the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowed, their behavior pattern and even their health perceptibly change. [27] They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? [28] Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?
