Passage I |
Most developing countries expect domestic industries to be the basis for their programme of economic development. It is easy to reserve the local market for the new local industry by simply prohibiting imports that might compete. Although it may not be very efficient operation, local industry can be guaranteed a profit because high tariffs on or prohibition of imports force consumers within the nation to purchase the domestic product. |
Local market industries may use the country's natural resources as well as its labour. The nation's foreign exchange credit can be conserved even if the production materials or parts must be bought from other countries, because these imports will usually cost less than if the finished products were imported. |
However; there are also many disadvantages in relying on local market industries is the basis for industrial development. With excessive protection these industries will never have reasons to be efficient in their operations. With little or no competition from the world?s large manufacturers, the quality of their products will probably be inferior. Yet, the country's consumers, unable to buy the same item from foreign producers, must purchase from the local industry. |
In most developing countries, real competition is unlikely to exist because of an inadequate market and a limited ability of the people to purchase. Companies may prosper because the power of the state has been used to force consumers to support them. This may mean that to provide employment for a hundred workers in the new factory and profit for the owner, thousands of people must pay extra for every shirt or pair of shoes they buy. This unfair type of industrial development often contributes to social and pay political tensions. |

Yet, the country's consumers, unable to buy the same item from foreign producers, must purchase from the local industry. |
In most developing countries, real competition is unlikely to exist because of an inadequate market and a limited ability of the people to purchase. Companies may prosper because the power of the state has been used to force consumers to support them. This may mean that to provide employment for a hundred workers in the new factory and profit for the owner, thousands of people must pay extra for every shirt or pair of shoes they buy. This unfair type of industrial development often contributes to social and pay political tensions. |

Although it may not be very efficient operation, local industry can be guaranteed a profit because high tariffs on or prohibition of imports force consumers within the nation to purchase the domestic product. |
Local market industries may use the country's natural resources as well as its labour. The nation's foreign exchange credit can be conserved even if the production materials or parts must be bought from other countries, because these imports will usually cost less than if the finished products were imported. |
However; there are also many disadvantages in relying on local market industries is the basis for industrial development. With excessive protection these industries will never have reasons to be efficient in their operations. With little or no competition from the world?s large manufacturers, the quality of their products will probably be inferior.

Passage II |
Once a rich merchant presented a beautiful cat to the Emperor of China. Eventually, the emperor became fond of the animal and took it with him wherever he went. Everywhere, people kept asking the emperor, what the cat name was and everyone was surprised, when told, that it had no name. As time progressed, the emperor realised that the cat should have a name thus he decided to find a suitable name for his pet. He called his ministers, the seven wisest men in his empire, and commanded them to fine a suitable name within seven days. The minister were warned that if they do not succeed in finding a name by the end of seven days, they will by punished. Also, the minister whose suggestion will be accepted will receive hundred gold pieces. |
The ministers did a lot research on names that would suit the emperor's favorite pet. At the end of this period, they were Summoned to the palace again, and asked for their suggestions. The youngest of the group thought he had found the perfect name 'Tiger' be announced proudly, "Your majesty, as we all know tigers are powerful animals, it will be the best name for your pet cat. 'Good name', said the emperor, after a moment' reflection/The tiger is not only a noble and powerful beast but it is also known as the cat's cousin, "added the emperor. |
"Noble, perhaps", said the second minister, "but it is not as powerful as the dragon. Can a tiger soar into the sky? No, but a dragon can! I think Dragon would be a more suitable name for the cat." As the emperor was contemplating the name Dragon, the third minister said, "Clouds can go higher than dragons. A cloud is more powerful than a dragon. Let's call it Cloud ". Let's not be hasty,? advised the fourth wise man. "Clouds may fly high but they are pushed around by winds. Winds are more powerful than clouds. Wind would be the most appropriate name for a great emperor's pet. "The emperor was still not satisfied with the suggestions. ?Wind?? said the emperor, doubtfully. "Isn't there anything better?" The fifth wise man took his opportunity to give his suggestion. ?Brick wall?, he exclaimed. "Why should I name my cat Brick wall?, asked the emperor with astonishment as it was the most unusual name he had heard till now. "A brick wall can stop the wind, however powerful, "explained the fifth minister. ?A brick wall is more powerful than the wind! "Oh, I see", said the emperor, ?Well, Brick wall is not a bad name. But isn't it a bit long?" "I have a shorter name," said the sixth minister 'Rat'. Everyone that I must call my cat Rat?" The sixth minister replied, ?Yes, You?re Majesty, Rat! A rat can eat through a brick wall, which makes it more powerful than the wall, more powerful than the wind, more powerful than all the suggestions given to you," "I get your point" interrupted the emperor, "but can you call a cat, Rat?" |
"Indeed you can't" seventh wise man who was the eldest among all seven "A cat is a cat. How can one call a cat Rat? Also if a rat is more powerful than the others the cat is given more so because it is mightier than the rat." The emperor was impressed with the seventh minister's suggestion and decided to accept it. So the royal pet remained nameless in way because from then on it was simply called Cat. But the minister who suggested his name was rewarded as promised. |

'Good name', said the emperor, after a moment' reflection/The tiger is not only a noble and powerful beast but it is also known as the cat's cousin, "added the emperor. |
"Noble, perhaps", said the second minister, "but it is not as powerful as the dragon. Can a tiger soar into the sky? No, but a dragon can! I think Dragon would be a more suitable name for the cat." As the emperor was contemplating the name Dragon, the third minister said, "Clouds can go higher than dragons. A cloud is more powerful than a dragon. Let's call it Cloud ". Let's not be hasty, advised the fourth wise man. "Clouds may fly high but they are pushed around by winds. Winds are more powerful than clouds. Wind would be the most appropriate name for a great emperor's pet. "The emperor was still not satisfied with the suggestions. ''Wind'' said the emperor, doubtfully. "Isn't there anything better?" The fifth wise man took his opportunity to give his suggestion. ''Brick wall?, he exclaimed. "Why should I name my cat Brick wall'', asked the emperor with astonishment as it was the most unusual name he had heard till now. "A brick wall can stop the wind, however powerful, "explained the fifth minister. 'A brick wall is more powerful than the wind! "Oh, I see", said the emperor, Well, Brick wall is not a bad name. But isn't it a bit long?" "I have a shorter name," said the sixth minister 'Rat'. Everyone that I must call my cat Rat?" The sixth minister replied, 'Yes, Your Majesty, Rat! A rat can eat through a brick wall, which makes it more powerful than the wall, more powerful than the wind, more powerful than all the suggestions given to you," "I get your point" interrupted the emperor, "but can you call a cat, Rat?" |
"Indeed you can't" seventh wise man who was the eldest among all seven "A cat is a cat. How can one call a cat Rat? Also if a rat is more powerful than the others the cat is given more so because it is mightier than the rat." The emperor was impressed with the seventh minister's suggestion and decided to accept it. So the royal pet remained nameless in way because from then on it was simply called Cat. But the minister who suggested his name was rewarded as promised. |

Passage II |
Once a rich merchant presented a beautiful cat to the Emperor of China. Eventually, the emperor became fond of the animal and took it with him wherever he went. Everywhere, people kept asking the emperor, what the cat name was and everyone was surprised, when told, that it had no name. As time progressed, the emperor realised that the cat should have a name thus he decided to find a suitable name for his pet. He called his ministers, the seven wisest men in his empire, and commanded them to fine a suitable name within seven days. The minister were warned that if they do not succeed in finding a name by the end of seven days, they will by punished.

Passage II |
Just because there is no atmosphere on the moon there can be no seas, rivers or water of any kind. We are accustomed to think of water as a liquid which does not boil away until it reaches a temperature of 212, but if ever we picnic high up on a mountain, we find out our mistake. We soon discover that water boils more easily and at a lower temperature there than on the plain below. The reason is that there is less weight of air to keep the molecules of the liquid pressed down and so prevent them flying off by evaporation. If there were no air-pressure at all, the water would evaporate no matter how low its temperature and this is precisely what would happen on the moon. |

If you are caught in an open field and see the flash of lightning and hear the sound of thunder at practically the same instant, take precautions immediately. Throw away any metallic object you may have. Lie flat on the ground. Do not try to run for shelter until the electrical disturbances have subsided entirely. Remember that poor shelter is worse than none. The big tree standing alone will keep the rain off you, but may draw lightning towards it. If a thunder storm begins when you are swimming or out in a boat, head for the shore at once. There is an old fable that lightning never strikes open water. May bathers who relied on that belief have lost their lives. Mostly those struck by lightning are likely to be farmers, holidays makers, fishermen or golfers. |
