B) 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. Chocolates, 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.
1. Good teeth mainly help us to ____.
A. look nice B. chew our food C. look important D. have good eyesight

A. become hard B. make us feel quite ill C. begin to decay D. send poison into

C. they have brushed their teeth D. their teeth grow properly
4. What may be most harmful to our teeth?

III. Read the passage and make the correct choice:
Furthermore, the laser beam can also remove bone, and so it is invaluable in ear surgery. The
sounds we hear are carried from the eardrum to the nerves of the ear by a delicate set of small bones
which sometimes solidify, causing deafness. A laser vaporises the bone without touching any of the
surrounding tissue.
Birthmarks, once almost untreatable, are a mass of blood vessels and, being red, they absorb the laser
beam strongly. It seals them so that the mark becomes less conspicuous. The normal cells on the skin’s
surface, which don’t absorb much of the laser beam, act in the healing and help to conceal the mark.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have
made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools
of poison. Lake Baikal in Russian is one of the largest lakes in the world.
It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere
else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which poor
into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s
water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50 % of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries
regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world
was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is
now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

IV. Read the passage and make the correct choice:
Language is not necessarily the private property of those who use it, just as French is not the
private property of French people, nor English of English people. English is spoken as a first language in
the United States, in Australia, in New Zealand, in most of Canada, in certain nations of Africa, and in
other areas of the world. It is unreasonable to regard any language as the possession of a particular
nation, and with no language is it more unreasonable than with English. This is not to say that English is
used by a greater number of speakers than any other languages, for it is easily outnumbered in this
respect by Chinese. But it is the most international of languages. A Dane and a Dutch person meeting in
Rome will almost automatically find themselves speaking to each other in English. The pilot of a
Russian plane approaching Cairo will use English to ask for landing instructions. Malaysian lecturers us
English when addressing their Malaysian students in Kuala Lumpur. To people in Africa, Asia, and
South America, English is an important foreign language to master, not merely because it is the
language of Britain or the United States, but because it provides ready access to world scholarship and
world trade. It is understood more widely than any other languages.
