The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious ( 26 ) the conditions of

temperature and pressure commonly found at the sur face of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an

open container and ( 27 ) it to the level of a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but

( 28 ) to diffuse throughout the space available; it must  ( 29 ) be kept in a closed

container, as ( 30 )a planet’s atmosphere. The distinction was a prominent feature of

early theories ( 31 )the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory

maintained that a liquid could be “dissolved” in a vapor without losing its identity, and another

theory held that the two phases are ( 32 ) different kinds o f molecules(分子). The theories

now prevailing ( 33 ) a quit e different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases

have in common. They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure, and they both

flow ea sily. They are fluids. 
