[quads id=2]Task 2. Read the following passage and then answer True or False.
In Western countries, electricity, gas, and water are not luxuries but necessities. Companies now realize that consumers want products that will not only work effectively, but also save money. For most North American households, lighting accounts for ten percent to fifteen percent of the electricity bill. However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt light bulb with an energy-saving bulb. These bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight times longer. Therefore, consumers can save about US$7 to US$21 per bulb. And instead of paying 20 dollars for an ordinary light bulb a month, you just pay 5 dollars for.
