TEXT I
Cameroon is a West African country of ten million people which has been very successful
in growing food for its people, unlike many other West African countries. Since 1971 it has
doubled its output of major foodstuffs such as maize and potatoes. Now it is one of the few
African countries able to feed itself. This was not the case five years ago when the country was
only 75-80% self-sufficient in food. Although isolated pockets of hunger still remain, the World
Bank nowadays gives Cameroon money to sustain, not to achieve, self-sufficiency in food
production.
TEXT II
Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the technical
progress in our world has caused severe pollution in the air and in the water. Although the
technical progress in previous years has been helpful, recent technology has significantly
increased pollution. Another reason to stop technical progress is that many inventions which were
developed for good causes are now also used for powerful weapons or have been found to have
serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside particle board to prevent termites has now
been found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not always bring good effects; for
example, computers do much work faster than man, but then man loses is job to a machine.
Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and will be used only
for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It
usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or
died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour
onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms
that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the
surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is
hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow
and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or
typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood
occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are
sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and
uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the
pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they
formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to
hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a
small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroy whole
blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.
