such a procedure as a solution to the population problem: ship the excess people off to the moon. But
we must keep in head the billions of dollars we might 6. mind spend in carrying out the project. To maintain the earth's population at its present level, we would have to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the year.
Why are we spending so little money on space 7.
exploration? Consider the great need for improving 8. Considering many aspects of the global environment, one is surely justified in his concern for the money and resources that they are poured into the space exploration efforts. 9. But perhaps we should look at both sides of the

British people don't drink as many tea as they 1. used to, but Great Britain still takes almost twenty- five percent of all world exports of the commodity.
The world largest producers of tea are India, China 2. and the Sri Lanka. 3. The quantity of tea is affected by the climate, 4. by the latitude at which it is grown and also by
that part of the tea bush is plucked. In fact, as 5. Dominic Beddard, a tea taster, tells us, favour can 6. even depend on which day the leaf is plucked: “There are very considerable differences between teas from the same estate made on different day,” he says. 7. Processing tea is a complicated procedure. After
the green leaf has been plucked, it is processed in a factory. Quickly and carefully, the tea is reduced to 8. a small brittle particle, which is then dried and looks like the tea you see in a packet. The tea companies then rely on tasters as Dominic to value the tea. This 9.
has to be done on a day-to-day basis because of fluctuations in quality. Having to taste up to six
hundred cups of tea a day certainly causes Dominic's 10. job an unusual one!

Most people work to earn a living and they produce goods and services. Goods are either agricultural (like maize) or manufactured (like
3. cars). Services are such things like education, 1. as medicine, and commerce. These people provide 2. some goods; some provide services. Other people provide
both goods or services. For example, in the same 3. and garage a man may buy a car or some service which helps him maintain his car.
The work people do is called as economic 4. activity. All economic activities taken together make
up the economic system of a town, a city, a country,
or the world. Such economic system is the sum-total 5. of what people do and what they want. The work people do either provides what they need or provides the money with that they can buy essential 6. commodities. Of course, most people hope to have enough money to buy commodities and services which are essential but which provide some particular 7. personal satisfaction, such as toys for children, visits 8. the cinema, and books.
The science of economics is basic upon the facts 9.
of our everyday lives. Economists study our everyday lives and the general life of our communities in order to understand the whole economic system of which we are a part. They try to describe the facts of the economy in which we live, and to explain how it
works. The economist methods should of course be 10. strictly objective and scientific.
