The gas provider Centrica has seen its half-year profits fall by 20% to £992 million.
Despite this it has decided to increase its dividend to shareholders to 3.9p per
share. The rise in energy prices released before the announcement of Centrica's
profits was designed, said the company, to restore "reasonable profitability". The
chief executive, Sam Laidlaw, said, "We produced a good set of results in tough
market conditions... we will continue to concentrate on improving customer service
in British Gas..." This is an interesting statement given the record rise in prices to
households. The announcement of profits which are not far off one billion pounds,
a day after the announcement of the rise in price and the increase in dividend to
shareholders, is likely to provoke angry reaction. Many will question the extent of
the market power that Centrica possesses. There will also be those that will
question what the phrase 'reasonable profitability' means in the context of profits
of nearly one billion pounds.

Q17. Companies increase shareholder dividends when profits fall.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q18. One way companies can restore profitability is to increase prices.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Q19. Centrica's half-year profits are not far off one million pounds.

(A) True

(B) False
(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B

Q20. Announcing large profits, soon after announcing price rises, is likely to
provoke angry reaction.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Instituted in 1979 as a temporary measure to limit population growth, China’s one
child policy remains in force today and is likely to continue for another decade.
China’s population control policy has attracted criticism because of the manner in
which it is enforced, and also because of its social repercussions. Supporters of
the Chinese government’s policy consider it a necessary measure to curb extreme
overpopulation, which has resulted in a reduction of an estimated 300 million
people in its first twenty years. Not only is a reduced population environmentally
beneficial, it also increases China’s per capita gross domestic product. The one-
child policy has led to a disparate ratio of males to females – with abortion,
abandonment and infanticide of female infants resulting from a cultural preference
for sons. Furthermore, Draconian measures such as forced sterilization are
strongly opposed by critics as a violation of human reproduction rights. The one-
child policy is enforced strictly in urban areas, whereas in provincial regions fines
are imposed on families with more than one child. There are also exceptions to the
rules – for example, ethnic minorities. A rule also allows couples without siblings
to have two children – a provision which applies to millions of sibling-free adults
now of childbearing age.

Q21. China’s one-child policy increases the country’s wealth.

(A) True
(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q22. The passage suggests that two-child families will dramatically increase, as
sibling-free adults reach child-bearing age.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B

Q23. The main criticism of China’s one-child policy is that it violates human rights.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q24. Families with more than one child are more common in China’s rural areas.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q25. The general preference among Chinese parents is for male babies.
(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

In biology, the term mutualism refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between

two species. The later economic theory of mutualism is based on the labour theory
of value, which states that the true cost of an item is the amount of labour that was
required to produce it. Hence, goods should not be sold for more than the cost of
acquiring them. Mutualism is closely associated with anarchism, because its
principles were set forth in the mid- nineteenth century by the French politician and
philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon – the first person to define himself as an
“anarchist”. The main tenets of mutualism are free association and free credit. In
a mutualist workplace, workers with different skills form an association to create a
product or service. Though dependent on each other, the workers are not
subordinated as in a capitalist enterprise. Mutual banks, also called credit unions,
operate on the belief that free credit enables profit to be generated for the benefit
of the union’s members rather than bankers. Modern-day mutualism is sometimes
described as free-market socialism. Proponents of mutualism support a free
market economy, but object to capitalism because of the inequalities created by
government intervention. Many mutual businesses and banking establishments
exist today, espousing Proudhon’s Co-operative model.

Q26. Proudhon’s economic theory of mutualism was influenced by biological

mutualism.

(A) True
(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q27. Mutual banking establishments do not operate on a for-profit basis.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B

Q28. The labour theory of value is defined as: only the person who made an item
should profit from its sale.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B

Q29. In common with socialism, the economic doctrine of mutualism advocates

state control over production.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B
Q30. Free association separates labour from hierarchy and ownership.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C
Part 3:
