Aesop, a Greek folk hero, who is supposed to have lived in the 6th century BC, acquired a great reputation as a teller of animal fables. According to one tradition, he was born in Thrace, lived for a while as a slave on the island of Samos, was freed and travelled widely, and was murdered while visiting Delphi.

A fox, Aesop said, was troubled by fleas, and a hedgehog asked if he could help remove them. The fox replied: "No, these fleas are full and no longer suck much blood. If you take them away, new, hungry fleas will come." "So, gentlemen of the Jury," Aesop is supposed to have said, "if you put my client to death, others will come along who are not

The increased use of synthetic fibres greatly reduced the demand for cotton fabrics, and cotton's share of the total U.S. fibres market dropped from almost half in 1966 to about 30 per cent two decades later. This natural fibre offers unique qualities of comfort and wear, however, and consumer demand for all-cotton fabrics, or blends of cotton and synthetics, is on the rise once again. There is a growing market for the long-staple cotton fibres that can be spun and woven into high-quality shirt fabrics. All-cotton fabrics with a durable-press finish are now available, and experts expect that, in time, cotton will rival the
synthetics as a convenience fabric. 32- By 1966, ...
A) cotton fibres could only
meet thirty per cent of the
requirements of the USA
B) synthetic fibres had begun
to be produced cheaply C) instead of all-cotton fabrics,
blends of cotton and synthetics were in great demand

convenient when used for shirts C) cotton fabrics are regaining their former popularity

trying to increase the demand
for their product

still not suitable for producing durable cotton fabrics

B) there was a great scarcity of
raw material for cotton
fabrics
C) most of the shirts produced were
made from synthetic fibres
