East

Somalia’s

prolonged

the

shortage

of

rain,

which

has

already

caused

food

supply

to

fail
and

brought

unemployment

in

farming

areas,

could

also

affect

the

production

of

electricity,

and

thus
reduce

the

output

from

the

nation’s

mines.

The

mining

industry,

and

especially

copper

mining,

uses
a

huge

amount

of

electricity

and

is

almost

completely

dependent

on

the

government
Electricity Supply

Commission.

But

the

Commission

has

recently

asked

the

mines

what

would
happen

if electricity

supplies

were

reduced

by

ten,

twenty

or

thirty

percent.
The

Commission’s

power

stations

which

reduce

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

separate

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

rain

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

thousands

workers.
36.

How

might

East

Somalia’s

lack

of

rain

affect

electricity

supplies

and

mining?
A.

Electricity

supplies

to

mines

may

be

cut

by

up

to

thirty

percent. B.

Copper

mines

may

be

unable

to

pump

water

by

October.
C.

Copper

mines

are

having

to

use

less

electricity
D.

Coal

supplies

are

failing

to

reach

power

stations
37.

Where

does

Electricity

Supply

Commission

produce

most

of

its

electricity?
A.

At

the

Malawa

Dam C.

In

Eastern

Province
B.

Along

the

Haro

River D.

Near

the

copper

mines
38.

The

action

that

the

engineers

are

taking



.
A.

should

get

enough

water

to

the

mines
B.

may

not

help

if

the

rain

is

sufficient
C.

will

use

up

a

lot

of

electricity
D.

will

become

effective

towards

the

end

of

the

year
39.

The

engineers

aim

to



.
A.

get

more

water

into

the

Haro

river C.

dig

out

artificial

lakes

near

the

dam
B.

change

the

direction

of

the

Haro

river D.

keep

more

water

at

the

Malawa

Dam
40.

Why

are

the

copper

mines

important

to

East

Somlia?
A.

Their

costs

and

production

are

rising.
B.

They

bring

in

fifty

percent

of

what

the

country

earns. C.

They

train

many

mechanics.
D.

Each

mine

employs

approximately

3,000

people.

The

reality

of

an

interview

is

never

as

bad

as

your

fears.

For

some

(41)

,

people
imagine

the

interviewer

is

going

to

jump

on

every

tiny

mistake

they

make.

In

truth

the

interviewer
is

as

keen

for

the

meeting

to

go

well

as

you

are.

It

is

what

(42)



his

or

her

job

enjoyable.
The

secret

of

a

good

interview

is

preparing

for

it.

What

you

wear

is

always

important

as

it creates

the
first

impression.

So

(43)



neatly,

but

comfortable.

Make

sure

that

you

can

deal with

anything

you

are

(44)



.

Prepare

for

questions

that

are

certain

to

come

up,

for

example: Why

do

you
want

to

become

a

nurse?

What

is

the

most

important

(45)

a

good

nurse should

have?

Apart
from

nursing,

what

other

careers

have

you (46)

?

What

are

your interests

and
hobbies?
Answer

the

questions

fully

and

precisely.

(47)



,

if

one

of

your

interests

is

reading,

be prepared

to

talk

about

the

sort

of

books

you

like.

(48)

,

do

not

learn

all

your

answer

off

(49)


heart.

The

interviewer

wants

to

meet

a

human

being,

not

a

robot.

Remember

the

interviewer
is

genuinely

interested

in

you,

so

the

more

you

relax

and

are

yourself,

the

more

(50)



you

are
to

succeed.
