With increasing development and use of

homes and university.
These viruses spread exponentially, much like
biological contagion, and then disrupt the affected systems.

executed may be exposed to the virus, including program
spread through telephone connections. Because of the

agencies are becoming wary of sharing software. Security

Passage 3
The economic crisis in 1997 made Thai citizens from every
region, both the public and private sectors, aware of the vulnerability
of the country's economic foundation and the problems of heavy
reliance on foreign investment, technology, and markets. This led to
serious attention being given to the study and analysis of His Majesty's
address on the topic of "Sufficiency Economy".
With the main duty of formulating the National Economic and
Social Development Plans as well as coordinating the country's
development at policy level, the National Economic and Social
Development Board (NESDB) considered it most appropriate to use the
royal philosophy of "Sufficiency Economy" as a guideline for
determining policy, planning and formulating the implementation plan
at all levels. This will create a correct and uniform understanding
among all the parties concerned, as well as serve as a guideline to help
Thai people earn a good living and the country in overcoming the
economic crisis. As a result, after a review and evaluation of His
Majesty's addresses on Sufficiency Economy as well as other related
topics, the NESDB sought His Majesty's consideration and his Royal
permission for further reference.
"Sufficiency Economy"
"Sufficiency Economy" is a philosophy bestowed by His Majesty
the King to his subjects through royal remarks on many occasions over
the past three decades. The philosophy provides guidance on
appropriate conduct covering numerous aspects of life. After the
economic crisis in 1997, His Majesty reiterated and expanded on the
"Sufficiency Economy" in remarks made in December 1997 and 1998.
The philosophy points the way for recovery that will lead to a more
resilient and sustainable economy, better able to meet the challenges
arising from globalization and other changes.
Philosophy of the "Sufficiency Economy"
"Sufficiency Economy" is a philosophy that stresses the middle
7. 26
35
40
45
path as the overriding principle for appropriate conduct by the populace
at all levels. This applies to conduct at the level of the individual,
families, and communities, as well as to the choice of a balanced
development strategy for the nation so as to modernize in line with the
forces of globalization while shielding against inevitable shocks and
excesses that arise. "Sufficiency" means moderation and due
consideration in all modes of conduct, as well as the need for sufficient
protection from internal and external shocks. To achieve this, the
application of knowledge with prudence is essential. In particular, great
care is needed in the utilization of untested theories and methodologies
for planning and implementation. At the same time, it is essential to
strengthen the moral fiber of the nation, so that everyone, particularly
public officials, theorists and businessmen, adheres first and foremost
to the principles of honesty and integrity. In addition, a balanced
approach combining patience, perseverance, diligence, wisdom and
prudence is indispensable to cope appropriately with critical
challenges arising from extensive and rapid socioeconomic,
environmental, and cultural changes occurring as a result of
globalization.
86. Why did Thai public resort to pay more
attention to “Sufficiency Economy” after
1997?
1. That was because His Majesty the
King has taken this issue seriously.
2. That was because they encountered
an economic ordeal from globalization
era.
3. That was because they thought the
National Economic and Social
Development Plans were not
workable.
4. That was because they could still
rely on foreign investment,
technology, and markets.
87. It seems that a correct and uniform
understanding among all the parties
concerned in “Sufficiency Economy” is
vital since ______.
1. this leads to a guideline to help
Thais earn a good living and defeat
the economic problems.
2. this can tie all Thai people to stay
calm in the present political and
social crisis.
3. this is the best performance of
NESDB in the past 10 years.
4. Thai people feel more loyal to the
King because of his royal initiation.
