The Commission's power stations, which produce the electricity using coal as fuel, are mostly situated near the large coalfields of Eastern Province But this area has little water so the cooling towers at the power stations have to be supplied with water from elsewhere The problem now is that water levels in all rivers and lakes have fallen dangerously low and, in some cases, are well below the intake pipes which feed into the pipelines which supply the cooling towers

In a desperate attempt to solve the problem, engineers are spending some forty million dollars on building a series of small dams across the Haro river It is hoped that these dams will make the water level at the

Malawa Dam rise so that water can then be pumped through a new pipeline to the power stations

This will take time and it is now the dry season Very little rain falls before October or November, and, after a shortage which has lasted for four years and is believed to be the worst in two centuries, nobody can say whether the rains will be sufficient

The amount of electricity and water used by the mines has tended to increase in recent years The mines, which produce about half the

country's export earnings, need electricity in order to pump fresh air through their workings and to drive machines which crush vast

quantities of rock Each mine also has to provide accommodation for as many as three thousand workers

How might East Somalia's lack of rain affect electricity supplies and mining?

a) Copper mines are having to use less electricity

b) Coal supplies are failing to reach power stations

d) Copper mines may be unable to pump water by October

62 Where does the Electricity Supply Commission produce most of its electricity?

a) Along the Haro River

b) Near the copper mines

c) At the Malawa Dam

d) ln Eastern Province

63 The action that the engineers are taking

a) may not help if there is insufficient rain

b) will become effective towards the end of the year

c) should get enough water to the mines

d) will use up a lot of electricity

64 The engineers aim to

a) change the direction of the Haro river

b) keep more water at the Malawa Dam

c) get more water into the Haro river

d) dig out artificial lakes near the dam

65 Why are the copper mines important to East Somalia?

a) They train many skilled mechanics

b) Each mine employs approximately 3,000 people

c) Their costs and production are rising

d) They bring in fifty per cent of what the country earns

66 Questions 66- 70

Bulbs are ideal for new gardeners, including children, because they are easy to plant and they always flower well in their first season They need comparatively little attention, provided that the soil has been properly prepared, and the place where they are planted is chosen with care They will last for many years and give you an annual show of flowers that are often so richly coloured or beautifully formed as to be in a class apart from other garden flowers

However, it is a mistake to buy bulbs without any plan of what effect you

most suitable bulbs for the typical, small, modern garden of the specialist gardener, and have made some suggestions to help readers who may not have had a garden before

non-Too many books for beginners tell new gardeners to grow a few 'sensible' kinds of plants and leave the more interesting kinds to adventurous experts For the first few years of one's gardening life one should, it seems, concentrate on learning simple techniques while admiring the gardens of more experienced neighbours

In fact, as a learner-gardener you need not fear that your efforts will necessarily show your inexperience, because (and here I give away a most closely-guarded secret), provided the bulbs come from a really reliable source, it is possible to produce as good results in your first year

of gardening as in your eightieth There are some difficult bulbs that will disappoint you, notably some lilies and a few miniature daffodils, but these are often no more attractive than the really easy ones Therefore,

be bold with bulbs; they are a sound investment for any garden

Never be content to plant the bulbs by themselves The majority look best when planted among other kinds of plants, because they have

unattractive leaves which are thus hidden There are a few bulbs, such as standard daffidils, which are, however, at their best grown in short grass

Why should new gardeners try growing bulbs?

a) They are cheap, so a great many can be grown

b) Once planted, little after-care is needed

c) They will grow anywhere in the garden

d) Their flowers get better and better each year

67 What is this book on gardening about?

a) Planning an easily maintained garden

b) Up-to-date information on-new bulbs

c) General advice for beginner gardeners

d) The choice of bulbs for small gardens

68 Inexperienced gardeners are often told that they should

a) experiment with different plants

b) ask their experienced neighbours for advice

c) learn by visiting other gardens

69 Bulbs are described as an investment because

a) they go on flowering all summer

b) they flower year after year

c) the beginner can learn from them

d) they make other plants look good

70 Some lilies and miniature daffodils are different from other bulbs because they are

a) particularly attractive in colour

b) difficult to grow successfully

c) disappointing when they flower

d) rare and very eye-catching

71 Questions 71 - 80

Barbara Kasten is an artist who makes photographs of constructions that she creates for the purpose of photographing them In her studio she arranges objects such as mirrors, solid forms, and flat surfaces into what could be called large still life arrangement, big enough to walk into She lights the construction, then rearranges and rephotographs it until she arrives at a final image She also photographs away from her studio at various architectural sites, bringing camera, lights, mirrors, and a crew

of assistants to transform the site into her own abstract image

Kasten starts a studio construction with a simple problem, such as using several circular and rectangular mirrors She puts the first objects in place, sets up a camera, then goes back ang forth arranging objects and seeing how they appear in the camera Eventually she makes instant color prints to see what the image looks like At first she works only with objects, concentrating on their composition; then she lights them and adds color from lights covered with colored filters

Away from the studio, at architectural sites, the cost of the crew and the equipment rental means she has to know in advance what she wants to

do She visits each location several times to make sketches and test shots Until she brings in the lights, however, she cannot predict exactly what they will do to the image, so there is some improvising on the spot

What does the passage mainly discuss?

a) The techniques of a photographer

b) The advantages of studio photography

c) Industrial construction sites

d) An architect who appreciates fine art

72 Which of the following would be an example of one of the

'constructions' referred to in line 1-2?

a) A still life arrangement

b) Natural landscapes

c) An instant color print

d) A colored filter

73 In line 3, why does the author mention mirrors?

a) They are part of the camera

b) Kasten uses them as subjects

c) The crew needs them

d) Photography mirrors life

74 The word 'transform' in line 9 is closest in meaning to

c) include as part of the construction

d) see what the construction looks like at the stage

76 The word ' them' in line 16 refers to

a) prints

b) lights

c) objects

d) filters

77 The word ' composition' in line 16 is closest in meaning to

a) To plan the photograph

b) To purchase film and equipment

or at least what kind of mood they are in) - even if you cannot hear a word they are saying - by the gestures they use Occasionally it is even

Frenchman, or gesticulates quite like an Italian, or bows quite like a Japanese Some say you can tell an Englishman by the fact that he hardly gestures at all !

All these are obvious, stereotyped gestures, widely recognised and

understood The only thing to watch out for is that a gesture which is polite and reasonable in one country might turn out to be very offensive

in another For example, an Englishman gives a 'thumbs up' sign to show approval but in some countries the same gesture is obscene and offensive But we make, when we are talking, man much more subtle movements, which betray our attitude, or define our relationship to others Take, for example, the way people sit : leaning back relaxed; sitting forward, earnest and interested; legs crossed and arms folded, hostile or insecure There are many touching movements which, if you can read them, will tell you what someone is thinking, quite independently of what he is saying : stroking the chin, pulling the ear, scratching the head, tapping the nose, and so on then there are hand movements which give you away : hand-wringing, fistclenching, steepling with the fingers

It is also very interesting to consider how much meaning we convey, sometimes quite deliberately, with our eyes I remember once being on a bus and looking at a stranger He suddenly looked back at me - i.e our eyes met My instinctive reaction was to avert my gaze It occurred to me that if I had continued to maintain in a bus and refused to avert his gaze, his intentions are quite clear : he wishes to let her know that he is

admiring her The normal pattern of eye contact when two people are engaged in conversation is that the speaker only looks at the listener from time to time, in order to assure himself that the latter is listening and grasping what is being said The listener, on the other hand, will look more or less continuously at the speaker (except perhaps in such

unnatural situations as in a car) as a sign that he is paying attention

If a person looks you in the eye continuously while he is speaking to you, you are likely to be disconcerted It is as if he were trying to dominate you A bad liar usually gives himself away by looking too long at his victim, in the mistaken belief that to 'look a man straight in the eye' is a sign of honest dealing It may be that the opposite is true, however In fact, continuous eye contact is usually confined to lovers, who will gaze into each other's eyes for an eternity, conveying meanings that words cannot express, and baffling onlookers into the bargain

There is even meaning to be found in how close people stand to each other, and at what angle We may stand side by side, or face to face, Which is more intimate, or at some intermediate angle in between An interesting experiment is to stand back to back with someone and try to have a conversation : it is quite disconcerting not to be able to see or to establish contact with the other person, even though we have learnt to have conversations with people we cannot see, as on the telephone

Careful studies have been made of all these non-verbal forms of
