Passage 2: 
It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look
nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth.
This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads inside the
tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. 
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill
the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are
growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a

dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a
day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean
between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk,
cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits
and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to
our teeth and cause decay.

A. chew our food

B. be important

C. have good health

III. READING  
Part 1: Read the text about booking a flight and put the following sentences in the correct order. 
There is one sentence that you don't need to use. Write the letters A, B, C, ... next to the numbers.
Number 1 has been done for you as an example. 
          When you want to book a flight to a certain place, visit your nearest travel agent. Tell the travel
agent the date when you want to travel and the destination to which you want to go. The travel agent will
then type the information into a small computer. After checking everything on the computer screen,

he/she will send the information to a central computer. The central computer contains all information
about bookings and destinations, and sends a reply, showing which are the most suitable flights. It also
shows whether the flights are fully booked or not. The information which is now shown on the small
computer screen is continually changing as other bookings are made in other parts of the world.
         The travel agent now types in your booking, then the computer will ask for your name and address 
as well as for certain other information. It will also ask how you will pay for your ticket (by cheque or by
credit card). Next the computer confirms the booking and makes a request for payment. When you have
paid for your ticket, the travel agent types the information into the computer  as well. Finally, some
computers print out a ticket before you leave the travel agent’s.
A. Details about the flights and seats available are sent back.
B. The computer then wants information about the method of payment.
C. The tickets are issued either at that time or later.
