SECTION 3:

READING COMPREHENSION

(s1-60)

Direction:

Questions 51

through

55 are based on the

following

reading.

The space race is

not

simply the objective search

for

knowledge.

It

is

often made out

to

be.

It

is

just

extension

of

the race

for

power on earth.

Only

the wealthiest nations can compete,

and

they do so

in

the

name

of

scientific

research.

But

in

reality,

all

they

are interested

in

is

power and

prestige.

They want

to

impress

us,

their

spectators,

with

a

magnificent

show

of

strength.

Man

has played the

power

game

ever

since

he

appeared on earth.

Now they

are

playing

it

as

it

has never been

played before. The

space race

is just

another aspect of the age-old argument that

"might

is

right".

We

are often

told

that technological

know-how,

acquired

in

attempting

to

get us into the orbit,

will

be

utilized

to make

life

better on earth. But what has the space race done to relieve the suffering of the earth's starving millions? In what way has

it

raised the standard

of

living of

any

one

of

us?

As far

as

the

layman

is

concerned, the

practical

results

of all

the expenditure

of

money

and

effort

are

negligible.

Thanks

to

space research,

we

can

now

see

television pictures transmitted

live

half-way across the globe, and the housewife can use non-stick frying-pans

in

the kitchen. The w-hole thing becomes

utterly

absurd when you

think

that no matter what problems man overcomes,

it

is unlikely

that he will ever be able to travel to even the nearest star.

Poverty, hunger,

disease,

and

war

are

man's

greatest enemies, and

the

world

would

be an

infinitely

better place

if

the

powerful

nations devoted

half

as much money and effort

to

these problems as they do the space race. For the

first time

in

this

history, man has

:he overwhelming technological resources

to

combat human suffering, yet he wasted them on meaningless

pursuits.

Questions 56

following

reading.

The r i1lage

of

Van

Hai in

Thailand

is

surrounded

by

valuable teak trees, but the

villagers are tbrbidden

to

chop down any

to

sell

to

dealers.

The

law,

however, does not pre\-ent a r-illager

from

selling his own house. So the canny

village

builds a house next to his

oun-

made entirell-

of

teak, then sells

it

to

one

of

the merchants

who drive

up

from

Chiang lv{ai. This dealer merely dismantles

it

and carts away the timber.

The

r-iilagers

normally

have large

families,

and

they

explain their

need

for

an extra house

to

the

authorities

by claimingthat

they

need

more room

for

grow-ing chrildren.

When the,v

build

the extra dwelling, they knock the nails

in

lightly

so the planks can easily be removed.
