II. Reading comprehension: (1.25 p.s)
Read the text carefully and then answer the following questions.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? First, 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 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.

Tapescript - Test no 4 - Class 12.
Together with the development of science and technology and the increasing population
growth, forests - the big lungs of our planet - are getting smaller and smaller. We only have

about 8 million square kilometres of tropical forests now, covering about 6 percent of land
area, whereas they are the home of 50 percent species of animals and plants on the planet.
Many patches of forest have been completely destroyed within a few decades. It's estimated
that if afforestation were not properly carried out, and the deforestation took place at the rate
of 149,000 square kilometres a year as it does now, our earth would become huge barren
land after 50 years from now.
