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 modem 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-centimetre 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. •

Read the text. Then choose the correct answer to questions 34-36. Lake Ontario is the smallest and the most eastern of the five Great Lakes. Although the lake is navigable for large ships ail year round, ft is less traveled than the other Great Lakes. The lake is about one hundred ninety-three miles wide and coveres an area of seven thousand five hundred square miles. The shore of the lake is approximately four hundred eighty miles around. Two-thirds of the lake waters lie below sea level and, because Lake Ontario is very deep, it does not freeze in the winter except near the shore where the water is shallow. A constant current carries the water from west to east at the rate of about one-third of a mile per hour. Because of the capacity of large bodies of water to keep heat, the lake has a moderating effect on the climate of the areas that surround it. For example, while the eastern shore of the lake never has a really hot day, on its southern shore fruit trees grow. The lake empties into the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lawrence River, while the Niagara River and the Weliand Canal connect, it to Lake Erie in the southwest.
