Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10% although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 1617% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8% . Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so mush owing, to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1064, and per capita personal consumption by under 7% as in 1963 . The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable ine by 13% there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occucred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the the changing position of durable goods purchased.

Anthropology is the study of human beings as creatures of society. It fastens its attention upon those physical characteristics and industrial techniques, those conventions and values, which distinguish one munity from all others that belong to a different tradition. The distinguishing mark of anthropology among the social sciences is that it includes for serious study other societies than our own. For its purposes any social regulation of mating and reproduction is as significant as our own though it may be that of the Sea Dyaks, and have no possible historical relation to that of our civilization. To the anthropologist our customs and those of a New Guinea tribe are two possible social schemes for dealing with a mon problem, and in so far as he remains an anthropologist he is bound to avoid any weighting of one in favor of the other. He is interested in human behavior, not as it is shaped by one tradition, our own, but as it has been shaped by any tradition whatsoever. He is interested in a wide range of custom that is found in various cultures, and his object is to understand the way in which these cultures change and differentiate, the different forms through which they express themselves and the manner in which the customs of any peoples function in the lives of the individuals. Now custom has not been monly regarded as a su6Ject of any great moment. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most monplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way round. Traditional custom is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and belief, and the very great varieties it may manifest. 61. According to the passage, we can say that anthropology _______. A) can reveal an enormous diversity of traditions. B) can deal with human beings as one group of the creatures in the living world C) can provide insights into the relationship between human beings and nature D) can distinguish the human race from other creatures 62. For serious study, an anthropologist _______. A) is obliged to work only on those societies which have no historical relationship to each other B) must not study his own culture C) is not supposed to have a prejudice against any society D) should focus on those societies which are historically related to each other 63. Which of the following d
