A few years ago a shortage of natural
gas drove prices sky high. Likewise,
gasoline prices rose when demands
exceeded supplies. A glut in the oil
market drove prices back down. The
law of supply and demand
functioned according to textbook
description in the case of oil, but the
situation is otherwise in the current
natural gas market. Natural gas
consumers are finding their heating
bills more of a burden than last year,
in spite of a dramatic increase in
supplies. There is so much natural
gas available that many suppliers are
closing down their plants for lack of
a market and it is rumored that some
suppliers are even burning off their
surplus gas.

and demand means that prices … .

Lacrosse is the national game of
Canada and was developed there
around 1850, and later in the US in
1877, from the centuries old Indian
baggataway, played by rival tribes
with teams numbering thousands.
The name, French for “the crook”, is
from the stick used. The modern
game is played on a field 100 by 60
metres, with caged goals about two
metres square. A team consists of ten
players: defence men, midfield
players, attack players and a
goalkeeper. The object is to score
goals by carrying, throwing or
batting a sponge rubber ball with the
stick, which has a 25 centimeter net
at the end. Only the goalkeeper may
touch the ball with his hands and the
game is divided into four quarters of
15 minutes each.

All contact lenses are now made of
plastic but hard and soft varieties are
available. The newer and more
expensive can be bent and will return to
their original shape. Made waterabsorbing plastic, they cause very little
discomfort and can be worn for as short
or as long a period as you like. Lenses of
hard plastic do cause discomfort during
the adjustment period and must be worn
regularly so that another break-in period,
isn’t necessary. However, vision through
soft contacts isn’t as good as through
hard contacts. Another disadvantage of
soft lenses is their tendency to absorb
eye secretions and mists from hair spray,
room deodorant and the like.
34. One advantage soft contact lenses
haveover hard ones is that they …
a) aren’t as expensive
b) are completely flexible
c) are made of natural products
d) come in two varieties
35. We learn from passage that hard
plastic lenses …
a) do not provide clear vision
b) are initially uncomfortable
c) may break if dropped
d) are water absorbent
36. We can conclude from the passage
that a person wearing soft plastic
lenses …
a) ought to use them for short
periods
b) should avoid using aerosol sprays
c) won’t have any difficulty seeing
clearly
d) doesn’t need to have them
checked frequently
