SECTION THREE: READING COMPREHENSION (4ms)

Question1. Read the passage and choose the best answer. (1m)
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
flouride 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.
