2.    Read the passage below and answer the following question

 

One common mistake that many people have made is this, they have thought that it would be very good thing if everybody had exactly the same amount of money, no matter weather they worked hard or lived quite idle. They forget that very few people would work at all if it were not for the money their work brings them, and that without work there would be no money. And they have imagined that if all the money in the country were equally divided, every body would be rich.

Now that is a mistake, because there simply is not enough money to make everybody rich. Calculations proven that it would certainly not make you really rich. It is quite true that there are in this country a small no of very rich people; but they are so few in comparison with the whole population that even if they were to share out all their wealth among the rest, it would make a very little difference. It is said that if you flattened out the greatest French mountain Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe and spread it over the whole of France you would only raise the level of the land about six inches. See if you can think out what that has to do with the question I have been talking about.
