So the idea that human intervention - a rain dance, perhaps » ‘right encourage the sky to give outa litle addtional water has been around in prehistoric times. More recently, \would-be rain-makers have attempted direct intervention, by lobbing various chemicals out of aeroplanes in bie effor to wring mare rain fram the elouds, a practioe knowing as ‘cloud seeding’ Yet such techniques, which were fist developed in the 1940s, are notoriously dificult to evaluate. It is hard to ascertain, for example, how much rain would have falen anyway. So, though much anecdotal evidence of the advantages of cloud seeding, that has led to ts adoption in more than 40 counires arcund the word, a far as scientsts are concemed, results ara stil inconclusive. That could be about to changing For the past three years, researchers have been canying on tha most extensive and rigorous evaluation of a revoltionarily new technique which will substantially boost the volume of rainall .

Read the passage below and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. (10 pis) Federal Express is a company that specializes in rapid overnight delivery of high-priority packages. The first company of its type, Federal Express was founded by the youthful Fred Smith in 1971, when he was only 28 years old. Smith had ‘actually developed the idea for the rapid delivery service in a term paper for an economics class when he was a student at Yale University. The term paper reputedly received a less-than-siellar grade because of the infeasibility af the project that ‘Smith had oufined. The model that Smith proposed had never been ‘ried; it was a madel that was eticient fo operate but at the same tine was very dificut to institute. Smith achieved efficiency in his mode! by designing a system that was separate from the passenger system and could, therefore, focus on how to deliver packages most efficiently, His strategy was to own his own planes so that he cauld create his own schedules and to ship all packages through the hub city of Memphis, a set-up which resembles the spokes on the: ‘wheel of a bicycle. With this combination of his own planes and hub set-up, he could get packages anywhere in the United States ovemight What made Srith’s idea dif cul to institute was the fact that the entire system had to be created before the company could begin operations. He needed a fleet of aircraft fo collect packages from airports every night and deliver them to Memphis, where they were inmediately soried and flown out to their new destinations; he needed a fleet of trucks to deliver packages to and from the various airports; he needed facilties and trained staff alin place to handle the operation. Smith had a $4-milion inheritance from his father, and he managed to raise an additonal $91 millon dollars from venture capitalists to get the company operating, When Federal Express began service in 1973 in 25 cities, the company was not an immediate success, but success ‘did come within @ relaively short period of time. The company lost $29 milion in the frst 26 months of operations. However, ‘the tide was to tum relatively quickly. By late 1976, Federal Express was carrying an average of 19,000 packages per night and had made a proft of $3.6 millon 1. The most appropriate tite for this passage is ‘A.
