Questions 39 and 40 refer to the following text.
Customs enforcement is concerned with the protection of
society and fighting trans-national organized crime based
on the principles of risk management. In discharging
this mandate, Customs compliance and enforcement
services are involved in a wide range of activities relating
to information and intelligence exchange, combating
commercial fraud, counterfeiting, the smuggling of highly
taxed goods (especially cigarettes and alcohol), drug
trafficking, stolen motor vehicles, money laundering,
electronic crime, smuggling of arms, nuclear materials,
toxic waste and weapons of mass destruction. Enforcement
activities also aim to protect intellectual and cultural
property and endangered plants and animal species.
In order to assist its Members improve the effectiveness of
their enforcement efforts and achieve a balance between
control and facilitation, the World Customs Organisation
has developed a comprehensive technical assistance
and training programmes. In addition, it has established
Regional Intelligence Liaison Offices (RILOs) that are
supported by a global database, the Customs Enforcement
Network (CEN), to facilitate the exchange and use of
information.
The WCO has also developed instruments for international
co-operation in the form of the revised Model Bilateral
Agreement (MBA); the Nairobi Convention, which provides
for mutual administrative assistance in the prevention,
investigation and repression of Customs offences; and
the Johannesburg Convention, which provides for mutual
administrative assistance in Customs matters. The WCO’s
Customs Control and Enforcement programme therefore
aims to promote effective enforcement practices and
encourage co-operation among its Members and with its
various competent partners and stakeholders.

TEXT 1
The word "computer" was first recorded as being used in 1613 and was originally used to describe a human
who performed calculations or computations. The definition of a computer remained the same until the end
of the 19th century when people began to realize machines never get tired and can perform calculations much
faster and more accurately than any team of human computers ever could.
In 1822, Charles Babbage began developing the Difference Engine, which was considered to be the first
automatic computing engine. It was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making hard copies of the
results. Unfortunately, because of funding he was never able to complete a full-scale functional version of this
machine. In June of 1991, the London Science Museum completed the Difference Engine Nº 2 for the bicentennial
year of Babbage's birth and later completed the printing mechanism in 2000.
