Stream: 3FL
Time: 2hours

Part One.
A) Reading Comprehension. (7pts) Read the text carefully then do the activities.

In many parts of the world, people do not hesitate to engage in activities
that do not comply with the basic
patterns of ethics. The absence of legal structures to control their businesses and the spread of poverty and
illiteracy in their land encourage the birth of all sorts of unlawful practices. The illegal means they handle
enable them to acquire vast fortunes and hold immense influence over their communities.
In Asia and in Africa but also in South America, the widespread usage of child labour by merciless employers and the expanding trade in drugs and narcotics dominated by powerful groups are vivid examples of the
barbarous features that take grip of human societies. Other misdeeds that are practised on a large scale involve the extending manufacture of all sorts of forged and imitated goods without any respect either to the statutes protecting the products and their inventors or the regulations required for their safe use.
We also find that bribery and embezzlement of public funds by unscrupulous individuals take alarming
proportions in many nations. At the same time the unauthorised sale of fire arms and the marketing of
suspicious medicaments have become intensive. In addition, many operations are carried out by international
organisations that no authority is able to check and to penalize.
All these transgressions to law and morality weaken the resources of the state and impair the social condition of the inhabitants because of the tax evasion they generate in every country. Worse than that, they enable their authors to handle the clever strategy of laundering their billions of dollars through lawful channels
. where no suspicion will be raised about the cruelty through which they have amassed and even the death of
thousands of defenceless creatures they have caused.
