Real depression cannot be as easily overcome as some people often suppose. It usually passes with time - but the time can seem endless. Activities giving companionship and a new interest can help. But for the sufferer to talk, again and again, about the causes of the depression helps most.

They may need professional counselling as well as the support of family and friends.

Computers should never have acquired the exalted status they now have. Fascinating and invaluable as they are, even the most advanced have less brain power than a three-year-old. They do, however, score on single-mindedness. The three-year-old uses his brain not only to think but also to do tasks like seeing, hearing and running about, which need incredibly rapid and sophisticated electro-mechanical interactions - we too run on electricity. But the computer just sits there and sends spacecraft to the moon or re-organises the world banking system, which is very much easier. That's why man’s dream of robot servants is still a long way off.

92. The main point made by the passage is that the human brain ____ .

1. 
   is much inferior to any known computer
   
2. 
   is infinitely more complex and powerful than any computer
   
3. 
   reaches its maximum efficiency at the age of three
   
4. 
   is not as complicated and mysterious as has usually been thought
   
5. 
   has been entirely reproduced in computer form
   

93. It is explained in the passage that the efficiency of the computer ____

1. 
   will soon make it possible for man to be served by robots

   depends on the speed with which the data are fed
   
3. 
   can best be appreciated in the decision making positions
   
4. 
   is the result of its being concentrated on one task at a time

The dramatic growth of the world’s population in the twentieth century has been on a scale without parallel in human history. Most of this growth has occurred since 1950 and is known as the population ‘explosion'. Between 1950 and 1980 the world population increased from 2,5 to over 4 billion, and by the end of the century this figure will have risen to at least 6 billion. Growth of this size cannot continue indefinitely. Recent forecasts suggest that the total population will level-out at between 10 and 15 billion in the mid twenty-first century.

Many substances, whether man-made or natural, can cause harm to man or the environment. Some of these reach the environment in waste streams; however, emission limits and environmental quality standards can, in some instances, reduce the amounts released. But some other substances cannot be controlled in this way because they are released, not in industrial waste streams, but through the use or disposal of products which contain them. In many cases these substances pose little or no threat if the product containing them is used and disposed of properly. The right way to deal with them is usually through controls over their supply, use and disposal.
98. According to the passage, the threat of certain substances to the environment ____ .

1. 
   is far less than that to man
   
2. 
   could be reduced by enforcing emission limits and environmental controls
   
3. 
   has been unnecessarily overemphasised
   
4. 
   has to date been completely ignored
   
5. 
   can be eliminated by the use of industrial waste streams
   

99. The author points out that the danger posed to man by many substances ____ .

1. 
   is unrelated to environmental pollution
   
2. 
   is even greater than generally admitted
   
3. 
   continues to grow despite constant control of disposal systems
   
4. 
   is solely due to the use of industrial waste streams
   
5. 
   arises from their misuse and wrong disposal
   

100. The passage is concerned with the question of ____ .

1.

2. 
   why industrial waste streams have caused so much pollution
   
3. 
   whether man made substances or natural ones cause more pollution
