economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.
　　The most liberal wing of the President' s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while Federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.
　　The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President' s program. They want tax cuts and a more open market. They say if Federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.
　　Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem, before Us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.
　　So the crux is the technology and that is where the President' s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be pa.ssed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.

　　The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised) ; and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As a Norwegian politician said last week: "We will soon be changed beyond all recognition. "
　　Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people from the south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
　　The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
　　The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because the Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
　　51. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil" industry to _________.
　　A. provide more jobs for foreign workers
　　B. slow down the rate of its development
　　C. sell the oil it is producing abroad
　　D. develop more quickly than at present
　　52. The Norwegian Government has tried to _________.
　　A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
　　B. prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway
　　C. help the oil companies solve many of their problems
　　D. keep the oil industry to something near its present size
　　53. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to _________.
　　A. the development of industry
　　B. a growth in population.
　　C. the failure of the development programme
　　D. the development of new towns
　　54. In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be _________.
　　A. a large reduction on unemployment
　　B. a growth in the tourist industry
　　C. a reduction in the number of existing industries
　　D. the development of a number of service industries
　　55. Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because _________.
　　A. they form such a large part of the Norwegian ideal
　　B. their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal
　　C. their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society
　　D. they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian .way of life
