David Miles, an Australian inventor has been accused of cheating desperate farmers by charging up to $$50,000 Australian

On the official Miles Research website, Miles explains that in the 1990's he realized that it was possible to influence weather

patterns by creating a bridge between

by applying small amounts of energy intelligently, even a large, messy weather system approaching from the future could be eased.

While somewhat fascinating, Miles' explanation does little to explain how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers.

He makes references to famous but debatable concepts like

We were advised against patenting because it's

basically exposing how it works. There are a lot of big companies that invest in hunting out patents,

doubts, the only other way is to fully prove up our science and physics. If we did that, we'll lose it, it will be taken up as a national

security interest and if 11 then be weaponized.,,

Miles' claims raised suspicions for obvious reasons, including a since- deleted section of his company website, which claimed

that his technology used

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned people against doing business with him, but

the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying to defame him and his company, as in reality they are success based - if it

doesn't rain, they don't get paid.

50mm, they would only pay $$25,000. Anything under half we don't want to be paid,

who agreed to take him up on his offer to deliver rain.

Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his so-called rain-making capabilities told ABC Radio that

he was quite happy with the results.

56.

David Miles claims to be capable of

A.

influencing the weather system

B.

predicting the future events

reducing the atmospheric temperature

he charged too much fbr the services provided

B.

there was no solid science to back up his technology

C.

his practice was a threat to national security interest

D.

he didn't officially patent his technology with ACCC

58.

According to Miles, how much will he be paid if the farmers receive 15mm of rain?

A.

$$50,000.

B. $$25,000.

C. $$12,500. D. $$0.

59.

What can be inferred from the passage?
