Light Night, Dark Stars

Thousands of people around the globe step outside to gaze at their night sky. On a clear night, with no clouds, moonlight, or artificial lights to block the view, people can see more than 14,000 stars in the sky, says Dennis Ward, an astronomer with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in Boulder, Colo. But when people are surrounded by city lights, he says, they’re lucky to see 150 stars.
If you’ve ever driven toward a big city at night and seen its glow from a great distance, you’ve witnessed light pollution. It occurs when light from streetlights, office buildings, signs, and other sources streams into space and illuminates the night sky. This haze of light makes many stars invisible to people on Earth. Even at night, big cities like New York glow from light pollution, making stargazing difficult.
Dust and particles of pollution from factories and industries worsen the effects of
A. A haze of light is formed from artificial lights such as streetlights and building lights.
B. Lights from different sources in the city stream into space and illuminate the night sky.
C. The night sky is illuminated by the lights from big glowing cities in the night.
D. Stargazing becomes difficult because there is a layer of haze in the air.

Every year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting. In Britain alone, about HK $3,000,000’s worth of goods are stolen from shops every week. This amounts to something like HK $150 million a year, and represents about 4 per cent of the shops’ total stock. As a result of this "shrinkage" as the shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher prices. Shop-lifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateurs, and the people who just can’t help themselves. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two-way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measures are tightest. And, in any case, they account for only a small percentage of the total losses due to shop-lifting. The same applies to the
A. There is a "shrinkage" in market values.
B. Many goods are not available.
C. Goods in many shops lack variety.
D. There are many cases of shop-lifting.
