  3. PRACTICE 25-4 (p. 344) Former college star Sheryl Swoopesbecame the first player signed to a WNBA team. Many people immediately saw the financial possibilities of this new league, and corporations paid to sponsor the new teams. Fans, especially young girls, found many women to admire. Many people bought tickets to the games, and they came ready to cheer.

  4. Unlike almost every other professional sport, women’s professional basketball drew more female than male fans. Many people appreciated how the WNBA shook up the sports establishment in this way. The players rose to the challenges and fought hard to keep the WNBA going. As a result, the league went from either teams to sixteen, doubling in size in the first five years of its experience. Some people said that the WNBA would fail. However, the athletes and fans knew how long women had been waiting for this opportunity.

  5. PRACTICE 25-5 (p. 345) 1. Jackie was unable to sleep after drinking coffee just before bedtime. The plants were harmless to humans but poisonous to animals. Lettuce was on sale at the local supermarket. The most popular foreign language at my high school was Spanish.

  6. Two department stores were closed three months after a new Wal-Mart opened nearby. Gasoline prices were much higher this year than the year before. When the four-year-old refused to sit down at the table, she was told to go to her room Ten men and seven women were in the computer class.

Mary would like to graduate from college in four years.

  9. PRACTICE 25-8 (p. 347-8) Although everyone complains about the high cost of energy, people can do something about their energy use. As the price of gasoline rises, drivers will have to pay more to fill up their vehicles. If car owners switched from gas-guzzling SUVs to hybrid cars, they would save money and do something good for the environment. Heating oil can also be a major expense during the winter.

  10. Although no one can do anything about the weather, homeowners could lower their heating bills if they kept the thermostat turned down in the house. During the energy crisis of the 1970s, people realized that they would save energy this way. If every household took this step, the United States would lower its need for foreign oil. Even changing a light bulb can make a difference. A person who replaces a single light bulb with an energy-efficient bulb will not see a huge difference in the electric bill, but if everyone made this change, the United States would save a lot of electricity. In the past, people made sacrifices to save energy, and Americans today can lower their energy use, too.
