Read the following article and decide if the statement below is TRUE (A), FALSE (B) or NOT GIVEN (C)

Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would

be surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it Well, almost

"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want

to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard, agrees "Both our minds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much

we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."

"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." Both Victoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children

ourselves," Richard tells me "Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years

paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."

The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I think it's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also has another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest

in wildlife though."

And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and

lubricating oils, come from one source-crude oil found below: the earth's surface, as well as underlarge bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil

to the surface Crude oil wells flow at varying-rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels Petroleum products vary greatly inphysical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but regardless, their chemical

composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute

quantities that they are disregarded The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors These products are the so-called light oils, such as gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oil The residue remaining after the light oils are

distilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons

to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various types of gasolines

It took policeman John Pooley only an hour or two to solve the Case of the Thorpeness Burglary

It must be said, however, that the crime was not difficult The description, though slight, narrowedthe number of persons likely to commit such a crime to one Pooley, of course, knows everyone

in the three villages in his care, and their children But after he had made the arrest-something hehas to do more rarely than once a month-he felt troubled because he not only knew the man, but also knew that he had family problems John Pooley's area is a very large one by police

standards, and includes the three villages of Middleton, Dunwich and Westleton, where he lives With a total population of 1,219, he has more than twice as many people to look after as the average policemen has Moreover, he is attached to the Halesworth subdivision and is frequently given duties outside his home area After 15 years as a policeman, he accepts these duties without question, but his villages are clearly where his heart and interest really lie When he was first sent to Westleton, he lived in the police house which was both his home and the police station; when the system was changed, he bought the house where he now lives with his wife, Ann, and his two daughters He could hardly be better qualified for the job of village policeman Before he joined the police, he was an agricultural worker for five years and a male nurse in a mental hospital for six years He says: "If you haven't had another job before you join the police, you tend to think nothing but police." Crime in the country, of course, is somewhat different from city crime Who was ever attacked while walking along the village street in Middleton? The things which John Pooley has to watch for are people stealing tools and equipment from farm vehicles,

or wood from the surrounding forests There are natural dangers too: he is so worried about the fire risk in the forests that he has turned his bedroom window into a look-out post
