    :Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow
    Today, I have an appointment with Dr Adnan Maqdisi, Director of the Jericho Farm
    Research Centre. I’m going to interview him about their work.I drive past fields of fruit and
    vegetables to reach the Centre. There, Dr Maqdisi welcomes me and immediately says,
    ‘First, I’m going to show you round. Let’s go.’ I can see this is going to be a busy day. Soon,
    we’re in a large science lab and I see scientists in white coats hard at work. Then, we pass
    through a warehouse and I notice various farm products – onions, tomatoes, bananas, figs,
    lemons, oranges, beans and carrots. Next, we visit the fields. ‘Let’s stop and I’ll show you
    something,’ he suddenly says. ‘We’re experimenting with different kinds of tomato here.
    We’re developing new kinds that will grow well in hot, dry conditions. When we pick them,
    we’re going to test them in different ways. We’re going to weigh them and check for quality
    and also for diseases. ’Later, in his office, I ask Dr Maqdisi why they are doing all this. He
    points to a human population chart on the wall. ‘Look,’ he says, ‘in 1900, there were 1.5 billion
    people, but then the world went mad. Now there are over seven billion and by 2050 we
    predict that there’ll be over nine – nine billion mouths to feed every day. ’And,’ he goes on,
    ‘Earth’s climate is changing. We’re certain now that many regions will become too dry for
    traditional crops. We’ll have to produce more food with less good farmland. ’Now I
    understand. ‘So you’re developing new crops to help farmers produce in harder conditions –
    and produce more. Are you succeeding?’‘Yes,’ Dr Maqdisi says, ‘we’re having some important
    successes. If you like, I’ll take you for lunch in our canteen and you can taste a few.
